[Being here is already a chore without having to try and avoid his mother as she makes her way through the crowds, yet Ren is attempting all the same. The fact that he's tall and wearing all black probably doesn't help matters, but he can't fix the first and the second is simply more him than any color would be. He's managed to dodge her gaze for the past twenty minutes, but Ren knows that instinct of hers will kick in and she'll zero in like a targeting system.
He really should just leave, but he's been trying to find others, like Cassian, who might know something beyond this small town. Ren can't be alone in this suspicion he's from more than just Idaho. Anyone else would tell him that talking to his mother would be the right path, but Ren has a rocky history with his parents. Between their jobs, they always seemed too busy for him and it really soured things for Ren growing up.
Hence avoiding her and having to deal with the emotions that come along with it.
Sadly (for Ren), he can only dodge for so long and he spots her gaze travel across the crowds to meet his. Kriff. He tries to turn around, but that won't help, there's no way she won't recognize him from the back just as easily. She is his mother, after all.]
