[She's learned in her time here that Finn has been very open about far more than she might be comfortable with if it were anyone else spilling secrets, but so far the people he's told, the things he's decided to share, it hasn't lead to anything horrible. There have been no drawbacks so far and if she had to be honest about it, it's been a bit of a relief to not have to explain things herself.
To not have to wonder quite so much what people will think of the things she can do when they knew long before she even arrived. Whatever Finn has said she could never fault him for and if she knew that Itachi was protecting him she would only feel gratitude.]
The order itself is all but dead in everything but spirit, there hasn't been anyone willing to pass on the teachings or the knowledge in decades so almost everyone just assumes they're myth now.
[There's a pause, only a short one, as she takes in a breath and lets it out before just getting it out of the way. All of this is surface level, not something that he could use against her in any way, so it doesn't bother her much to say it when she'd told him she would after the finished sparring.]
I'm the last one, but there are plenty of people who are sensitive to the Force and would benefit from training. When I go back I want to do that. Jedi fight with lightsabers like the ones I have now, not a staff. It's - symbolic.
[There might be a little bit of distaste creeping into her tone now.]
[And he gets a huff of a laugh out of her, quick and amused but also with a bit of a grim smile.]
They still talk to me. So. My old master was definitely the type to tell me I'm doing it wrong if I am.
[Luke was not at all shy to push his own opinions on others, but at the same time he had been one of the biggest proponents that the Jedi got so much wrong. He'd support her, and if he didn't she's sure that Leia would find some way to reach through the Force and smack him until he relented.]
By the time Finn and I had any exposure to it the Force and the Jedi had faded to nothing but myth. Parts of it do need to change, I can't deny that, but-
[She stops herself there, glancing over at Itachi and not entirely sure why she's spilling so much of this out. Is it just because he's friends with Finn that she was just about to point out that she still thinks of herself as just a scavenger from Jakku most days, with no right to change something with centuries of history? Finn's seal of approval does count for a lot, but this is definitely getting too close to oversharing.
Budding friendship. Gross, kill it with fire.]
It's too early to be talking about destiny. Tell me more about the food you're going to make.
๏ผ the implication that she speaks to the dead through the force does make him quirk one eyebrow faintly. he is not surprised, per se — it is not a significant leap that one might do so via the manner of energy he understands as being the force.
he does have questions — but for now, he sets them aside. ๏ผ
Let me ask instead — do you have a preference for what manner of protein you may prefer? That will inform the rest of the meal.

๏ผ he says that with a mild lift of his left shoulder. what he heard from finn did not endear the concept of jedi and sith to him in the least. ๏ผ
You will only teach the next generation that they must cut away parts of themselves to conform.
