Hello, you've reached Rey. I'm not here right now, but if you leave a message, I will try to get back to you.

Thanks.

[ jyn smiles a little as raddus dances after the toy. the cat's namesake would like rey, jyn abruptly decides. he liked her after all, maybe he just liked their whole reckless gang of misfit. she stands by her decision.

she scratches under the cat's chin when she leaps after it on to the couch again, pleased with having caught her magical prey. ]

I'm glad you told us.

[It felt like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders, finally able to tell her friends the truth. She wasn't sure how either of them would react--but she hoped it wouldn't be with hard stares or glaring words.

The Jedi from their time either didn't exist, or were from the old legends. Things that happened well before she was born, or had awaken to the power within in. Seeing the tiniest smile from Cassian and Jyn's words made Rey feel silly for stressing out over it.]

Thank you...both of you.

[For accepting who she is and not being afraid of her.]

I...didn't know how to tell either of you. Poe and Finn know, because of our history together. [And how her mission was to go and find Luke, and bring him back to the Resistance..] And I didn't want you to view me in a different light. [Like she was this powerful and suddenly wise person--because she wasn't. She was still learning--powerful, but she still had so much to learn.]

I think we both understand a little bit about wanting to keep parts of ourselves a secret.

[his entire life has been one big secret for so long, he is very familiar with the weight of them. but he thinks there is very little that could have changed his mind on who rey is. regardless of powers, she's still a smart and good person.]

As far as I can tell, you are still Rey, even if you can tease a toy for our cat.

[ jyn nods her agreement with cassian. ]

Rey's what I care about, not the Force. [ so rey is good. being a jedi is a bonus for her maybe, jyn doesn't know -- maybe it sucks, but as long as she is still rey, it doesn't much matter to jyn.

rey, the woman, is the important part. ]
