The obvious happiness with which Rey entertained the concept of being missed made her grin. She could understand that sense of satisfaction, feeling something very akin to it on Jakku, when Chewbacca had pulled off Unkar's arm. Despite the way they had both yawed to opposite sides of the Force, there was still a touch of darkness in Rey that helped her empathize with this other version of herself the galaxy had chosen to present her with.
When she asked about being her twin Rey frowned. In time certainly she would have to return to the Resistance and bring the other Rey with her. They were traveling together now and that was something Rey took very seriously. While she had her grandfather growing up, Rey figured that was as good as growing up alone. In time perhaps Rey would hear more about what had happened to her, but just as there were things in her own life she wasn't yet ready to share she figured everything her other self wasn't telling her work come out in due time.
They had nothing to lose after all, and only an understanding a person might get from themselves to gain.
"Yes, we'll have to figure out how we want to accomplish that - though there's some time between then and now to do that. There aren't any other Jedi left - I'm afforded a certain bit of independence despite the war to go and learn if I get wind of something that might help me learn what it is I'm meant to be doing with all of," she waved slightly in the air, at a loss for words. "Everything really. My teacher died, and I've been following what hints were left behind in the old books he had kept." Rey made at face at her and shrugged. "In time we'll go back to base, but not until you and I know what it is we're doing, and right now that's building lightsabers." Something she was very excited about. Building and dismantling were two of her favorite pastimes, done as a necessity on Jakku and now, away from that desolate world as a means of stilling her mind while making herself useful. She loved to build and to tinker, and the concept of having a weapon all her own, instead of steeped in the lore of a family that she didn't quite belong to was a wonderful concept.
