No, we... [A faint smile comes across Rey's face as well. She watched him take a seat at the foot of her bed, looking at her best friend and wondering what exactly happened to him when they were forced to part ways. Yes, he gave her the over view, but she wanted to know the details, to try and piece together the bigger picture.]
We're not dead. Came close a few times.
[Rey found herself taking off the small pouch she always had on her, the same one that contained the lightsaber--Luke's lightsaber, and placing it down by her bed before taking a seat next to Finn. Now it was her turn to tell him what happened. She already told him the big part of it, that Snoke was dead, but not who took him out.]
We found Luke and he... [Her smile becomes more pronounced, fond even with a twinge of sadness.] He wasn't like the legends. He was a different man from those tales, and he lived a hermit's life. He didn't want anything to do with the Resistance, with the Jedi or anything. He was done with it, and I was...I was tempted to drag him back to the General.
[With or without training, which was a bit childish thinking about it now. Yes, she needed to be trained, but her main goal was getting him to the Resistance. He was needed--he was important, and Rey was trying to figure out where she fit into all of it.
It hurts to talk about Luke in the past tense, even though he was part of the Force, even though it was peaceful for him. He was someone she cared about even with the fight they had. He was her mentor, regardless of how short their time was together...and he probably tell her to suck it up and continue on.
So Rey did. She explained how her training with Luke went, carefully leaving out the parts where she and Ben were connected. That...it felt too raw for her. Too soon to talk about a wound she was still trying to mend. What she did tell Finn, was who killed Snoke. The monster who tortured her for what felt like hours as he went through her mind to find Luke's location and tried to weaken her, but she kept fighting.]
He...had the opportunity to kill me, Finn. He had it, but chose to kill Snoke...and with Hux here, that general thinks I killed Snoke. Which is fine, we can use it to our advantage... [Use the information against Ben...or protect him. It was hard to process right now. She was upset over Ben, hurt and exhausted, but she had to soldier on.]
