It was a bit surprising to hear how strongly the other felt about the state of a people in realms she's never traveled to, or would travel to. Rey didn't back down or avert her gaze, only knitted her eyebrows together as she thought of the different planets that still had slaves. She thought back to the talks and whispers she heard from various traders that landed on Jakku to do business with Plutt. Or the pirates and other unsavory characters that visited...

"It's hard to say, I haven't been to many planets as I mentioned. But the ones I know of, their people are free." Minus Tatooine. The planets in the outer rim were the ones that have or have had slavery. But then Rey would've had to go into what constitutes a an Outer Rim planet, and then Mid and then Inner. That was something else to discuss another day.

A faint chuckle left her lips, not sure if she would ever call herself a lady, or what would constitute the 'proud' bearing of a lady, aside from her own gender.

"Thank you?" She wasn't sure what else she could say about that, really. She supposes anyone else would've been happy being given a compliment from royalty, but to Rey it was...nothing. Just flattery and some kindness.

"But it is nice to meet you too."
