[She is a persistent actress. She makes a show of recognition when Han joins her in the bar, a smile spreading — but not too widely. She falls in step when she is invited to a table, waiting until he sits before lowering herself as well.
The truth is, she isn’t sure what to make of Han now that Ben had told her of his upbringing. It had all seemed so at odds with the man she’d met...but then, she also remembered what it was like to be sent away. And worse.
The truth, perhaps, was somewhere in the center of it. And perhaps if she were less bitter over Rey and Ben’s departure, shw might have asked. But she has not yet moved past the “anger” stage.]
You were kind to invite me.
[Now, she allows her smile to fade to something a bit more neutral.]
I am sorry to hear that Kylo Ren has left as well. I suppose I should have guessed, when he did not come looking for Rey.
