[It's hard to think what might be going through Finn's mind. If he was overwhelmed with what she was able to now do. Or, if he was more concerned about getting her to Luke. It felt like Poe was leaning towards that, and she couldn't blame him. She was trying to do what she could, but her resources were limited. That wasn't an excuse, but her reality. There wasn't anything she could make or use...
And "listening" to the Force hadn't helped her much. If she had a way to learn more about the Force, or the Jedi, she would at least have something rather than nothing. But that's something to think about another day. Right now she's focused on Finn and trying to give him as much information as possible without overwhelming him.
Through it all though...he still asks if she's okay.]
I'm fine. [It's a phrase she's been using way too often. It's a sign of someone who isn't fine.] I was more concerned about you. The last time I saw you, you were asleep, resting. I told you I would come back.. [And she placed a kiss on his forehead, but there wasn't a need to go into that little detail. or that she sometimes had bad dreams of being back in that interrogation chair with Kylo Ren standing over her, forcing his way into her mind...]
When I got here, I tried to figure a way off this rock. I thought I could find an old ship, patch it up and try to leave, but I couldn't find anything. There was a shuttle that Jim, he's part of the Perimeter Guard, had found, but I wasn't going to steal it.
And then I met a few other interesting people... [One of them was Cisco, she lights up a little then, explaining how he offered her a job and introduced her to the world of candy (oreos and gummy bears). What was most shocking was telling Finn that she met Obi Wan, an old Jedi Master.]
Time isn't an issue with this place. People from the past are here. Obi Wan Kenobi was here...and I wished I had paid more attention to him. I could've learned a lot, but before we could have a proper lesson, he was gone. People come and go in this and it's hard to keep track of who's still here.
[Her voice and demeanor dropped then, feeling upset again. She had the chance to learn and she didn't take. She should've paid more attention to Obi Wan's whereabouts and Poe's.]
There's also Cassian and Jyn. They're from the past too--from the Rebellion days, Finn. [She wasn't going to say what happened to them. That wasn't her story to tell. She promised Cassian she wouldn't bring up Scarif to anyone else. Rey wasn't sure if Finn would know who either of those two were, but they were important enough to Rey for her to mention them.]
Things...are slowly getting back to 'normal' or what passes for normal here. A few weeks ago, something happened and people were able to see someone else's memories. [And to a very lucky few, some people got to see how lonely Rey's world really was.]
