The Marriage Rites of the Jedi [closed to niteofren]
There is a level of awareness that Rey has regarding her lack of guilt for stealing the sacred Jedi Texts from their generations old home on the island. That being said, it's often dulled by the knowledge of Master Skywalker's insistence that there was no more need for the Jedi when she knew that there was, or at least was incredibly sure that there was.
She had made an attempt or two to read through the old texts, but they were not exactly what could be called page turners, and the heavy going dry information was made only worse by the fact that age had dulled the appearance of the text, making it hard to make out what was actually written. That was the main reason she was so sure she had gotten it wrong. After all, everyone knew that the Jedi never married, so why would there be mention of marriage rites in theirs texts?
But they were there and that sinking feeling in her stomach made it clear to her that no, she wasn't misreading. If this was right...
Did he know? He had read these, hadn't he? Or, at least the Histories? Could that be why he made that offer?
Rey had thought that reading the texts would help clear her confusion, but now she felt more confused than ever

"What do they know? About... this?"

He couldn't meet her eyes. He had personally told Hux she was responsible for Snoke's death. He didn't think it had convinced the general, at least not completely.

She couldn't help but ask that question.

He shook his head, grimacing. "I won't keep him forever but the troops are used to him for now."

It seems unthinkable, but then again, so did the first one. Was it possible that Ben was the only thing keeping them safe from all that?

He grimaced at the memory. He had argued against the superweapon strenuously and been summarily dismissed. It had led to lessons about why sentiment was bad.

"Ben, you can't stay there. He'll... he'll drain you."

He let himself trail off. He could feel her foreboding. He couldn't deny that he shared the same sense that something was about to go wrong. Still, he couldn't think of any better option. Everything else would put them both in greater danger.

"The galaxy is set against us." She echoed her thoughts from earlier, even if it was even less clear now exactly what she meant.

It hurt that she genuinely wasn't sure which she would rather, right now. Bonded and unknowingly married to someone who she was at opposites of a war with, or her parents back.
... It was almost funny that it was even a question.
