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

He shuddered. It had been cruel. For the first time, he discovered Snoke was telling the truth. He'd started listening after that. It had been his only way to avoid another nasty surprise.

"There's no good reason to not tell you."

He sighed. "Apparently, they didn't see a reason not to lie about it even though it effected me as much as them."

"If it helps? I smacked Luke with my staff."

He shook his head, still processing her admission. "Nobody does that. Not even Mom and Dad."

"You need to make your own choices," Rey said, "no one else should make them for you."

He shrugged. By now, it was mostly just something he'd lost. He doubted anyone from Alderaan would accept him after Starkiller.
"They just skip to Jedi Killer even though that's..." He sighed. "I'm not. Not like they think, anyway."

"So the Knights. They're the other students?" What were they like, she wondered.

He turned away. "We didn't hate each other. At least not before we found out..."
