[There's a faint smile from Rey, grateful that Cisco was here. His confidence in her helps with the stress she's feeling. She would need to explain...well, everything. But, there's a part of her that doesn't want to do it. She wanted to keep that little secret to herself, something special she had with Ben, before she found out it was all because of Snoke.
But now...it's back. Maybe there was a new player from their world that was here, more powerful than Snoke, who was toying with both of them. Or, maybe it was truly the will of the Force? So many possibilities to make one's head spin.]
It...was, and I even asked him to put his cowl on. I know what the male body looks like--I just.. [Shut up, Rey. Just shut up about that part and look away from Cisco and regain some sense of decorum.
What Cisco says makes sense, but thinking back to those moments where they were connected, it happened at different times. Rey can't say precisely what she was feeling, or what he was feeling...it seemed to happen at random times.]
I don't know. Everything about the bond was Snoke's doing. I don't know if he sensed when was a good moment to open that channel between our minds, or if there was an emotional connection. I know...there was the final time we spoke--when I was training with Luke, and I was in this little hut, feeling alone and Ben was suddenly there.
[So maybe when she felt loneliness that her mind opened up and reached out to Ben? A conscious or unconscious move, but...it could be something?
There's another nod of her head, taking two, three more sips of her whiskey to get a pleasant buzz going before her glass is empty.]
I can do that. I'll wait until the connection ends to write everything down. Maybe ask how he's feeling to see if it's something on his end too. If he's calling out to me, or vice-versa..
[But why call out to her? He didn't want anything to do with her, or at least...that's sort of how it felt like? She wasn't sure. When it came to Ben, she wasn't sure of how she felt or what direction to go.]
He doesn't want to be part of the First Order anymore. He said he's done with it. [Rey moved to grab the bottle from Cisco and poured herself a shot of it.] I don't know how true that is, or if it was said in the middle of us yelling to get me to shut up.
