Ben still looks washed out and unhealthy, and that combined with how gravelly his voice sounds is alarming.
Leia stops removing her coat, leaving it on in favor of stepping closer to her son, looking him up and down for any further signs of Ben not caring for himself. And the more she looks, the easier it is to see something isn't right. So, the entire purpose of her visit is shoved aside for now, in favor of checking on her son's health instead. Apologies can wait, Ben clearly needs to be made to rest.]
