At Master Skywalker's clear change of tune the whole of Rey's face seemed to lit up. This was something, this was an improvement. If he had managed to change his mind about training her already, surely in time he would understand why she had come and why they needed to leave the island together.
"Of course. I never expected it to be easy."
She had no idea what the Force could do.... Except maybe lift rocks, according to tales around bonfires. But that she had felt when she faced Kylo Ren? That monster had been right about one thing: she needed someone to guide her. She now understood the Force had always been there, dormant. But what now?
"I'm ready to take it," she assured him. "I swear I'll listen, do anything you say."
Her hand flexed around his robes, closing into a fist briefly. She wanted to hold onto him, onto this moment. She was determined to be Luke Skywalker's student. All those stories she'd heard? She'd like to eventually ask if they were true, how he grew up in a deserted planet like she did. How many times, when growing up, did she imaging Luke Skywalker coming to Jakku because that little planet in the edge of the galaxy had reminded him of home? Funny how things had been the other way around and it was Rey who had found him in the middle of nowhere.
They were similar.
"Master, I understand you. I too have been on my own for far too long."
