[She can't help the addition, overhearing him the way she does. She's changed as well, dressed in the familiar clothes that she went to find Luke in, something fit for a smuggler that she imagines Han would approve of. Her hair is clean and tied back in just one bun, half her hair allowed to hang loose now that she's let go of the hope that she'll be recognizable to parents who left a child with her hair in three buns down the back of her head.
This place is new, and it calls for a new start. Kylo hadn't been wrong about letting the past go in some regards, and letting go of parents who didn't even want her had been a good first step.
Or, partial first step. There are still doubts, still little glimmers of hope that will always flicker and make her wonder, but for now she wants new.]
