[ He knows in a sense that it is unfair, to draw so many similarities between the two Lukes - when the younger one had indeed at least tried. The rest of it, he mulls it over silently.
The question about Alaina, though, he gives some thought to before responding. ]
She's fine. Not so bad as far as a roommate. We don't talk much, but it's not because we dislike one another or anything like that.
I'll stop by tonight, perhaps we put that kitchen to use.
I'm sorry, I'm being unfair. I just wish I'd gotten to say goodbye. He was a good friend while he was here; much better than the other version. I'm glad I got the chance to know him.
[ She ought to be glad when a friend leaves, but the longer she stays, the lonelier it gets. At least Ben's making more connections now. She's grateful for that, too, even as the small spark of jealousy flares at mention of Alina despite her fondness for the girl. She knows there's nothing to be jealous of, but she's gotten to spend more time with Ben lately than Rey herself has just due to their living arrangements. ]
Ben Solo knows his way around a kitchen? Now you have to come by, I need to see this.
[ Why? What sort of chance does he owe? Is it because by nature of his blood, his familial ties to a man who would later want to kill him in his sleep? Did he still owe him some decency, some kind of chance just because for Luke, it had yet to happen? Kylo didn't know, and he had - though it had taken him nearly a year and some months to extend some courtesy and try. ]
You're fine.
He did remind me a little of how he used to be. Back when when he was my uncle and not my teacher.
[ Before Hell had started to change him, and what he could remember of his actual childhood, before being sent away. ]
Now that I have space to work with to try, I'm taking advantage of it. Jury is still out on how edible you may find the food, though.

Ben. You've met me. You've seen the things I will eat. I'm sure between the two of us we can manage something more than edible.
