#if rey ever joined his side / etc. it'd be a necessary hurdle to introduce them to each other.

i wonder if the knights would initially be relatively cold  &  angry,  protective  even, if they met rey —— considering how much of a threat she poses on a regular basis to the livelihood of their master, i doubt they’d immediately be welcoming. she’s almost killed their boss twice. there’s the whole potential for animosity there.

i need this dynamic solely for the moment of ben’s deadpan dismissive  ‘ no, it was a consented almost-death ’  followed swiftly by one of the knights moving right along with a  ‘ oh, in that case can i sit with her then??? she’s rad. ’

i want oddly bloomed friendships, weird comradeship made between force-sensitives aligned to the opposing sides of a war, but ultimately both caring about the same person enough to put those differences aside. i want disagreements, i want rey going feral defensively because a knight tried to get a rise out of her, i want ben to have to put his foot down  &  make them listen to him. i want certain knights accepting her  &  others being harder to convince, but ultimately stowing their weapons because kylo ren declared her ‘ not an enemy of ours ’  &  to directly disobey him would be to earn not only rey’s blade, but his as well.
