Ronan moves first, twitching to life after only half a minute or so. His dream is a small one, after all, and the only magical thing about it is enduring warmth of it. As soon as he has the strength, he pushes himself up and leans over to check on Hennessy. Still breathing. Good.
"Thanks," Ronan says as he casts a glance back to Kylo. "You can relax now. We're all clear."
He knows Kylo has questions, but there are only so many of them he'll answer in Hennessy's presence. She can hear everything they say, even if it doesn't look like it, and she's still his enemy — a truth that doesn't get any less painful even now that he has to confront it over and over. Thorne had given him a place to hide from the past, and now the past has caught up with him.
As he begins to clean the inky nightwash from Hennessy's face, he clarifies for Kylo, "This is Hennessy. She's the one I told you about." The one who had severed Ronan from his power, after everything he'd done for her. Why? "She's confused, so she might try something, but I don't want her to get hurt."
