All things considered, she was smiling more with Luke now than she had throughout most of her life. She'd never had much reason to smile before, after all, and now....
Now it looked as though she might have a fairly big reason to smile on a regular basis, if things turned out well.
"You think I'm like Leia?" she asked, genuinely surprised. "I can't see that. But then, I suppose you know her better than me." His features were smoothing out, and Rey fancied that she could see what he might have looked like as a younger man. It wasn't his more youthful appearance that lightened her heart so much as the fact that he was showing he really was capable of levity. She couldn't help but think he needed more reasons to look like that, and it made her happy to know that he was looking at her with that sense of calm.
"Do me a favor. Don't put too much effort into that whole isolation thing. You wouldn't be the only one who would get unbearably lonely."
