[Luke, who'd... mostly forgotten Kylo was even here with everything that's been going on. Not guilty exactly, but uh...avoidant absolutely. But not the point that he'd outright deny anything if asked about it.]
I mean, from what little I've heard about things I'm not really sure I blame him. I wouldn't want to talk to me if I was him. You almost didn't at first either, it felt like.
[An uphill struggle, this. Dealing with the many screw ups and just general wrong-ness of his future self. But it's not like he can avoid them forever at this rate. Plus, maybe it'll help him avoid the same pitfalls when he actually gets older.]
But if you want me to talk to him sometime. I can try.
[ Rey's largely come to see this Luke and the other one as entirely different people, not least because she's fairly determined to make sure this one doesn't go back to his time and repeat the same mistakes. It might not change things for her or Kylo, but maybe there's another version of them somehow, who won't be hurt. ]
I was angry with you back home, and upset with myself for the way things turned out. But you're not that person. I think you should try, for both of your sakes."
[ If this place was good for only one thing, it would be the second chances it had given all of them. Rey doesn't want to see any one of them waste it. ]
[Well, good. Because that's how he'd prefer it. Old grumpy hermit Luke is clearly.. a weird hidden sibling or something. Maybe he and Leia are secretly triplets? Yeah. Though making sure he doesn't make the same errors just in case is probably for the best.]
You're right. I'll see if I can't come up with something, it just might take some time.
[After which he'll fail and then resort to 'for Rey's sake we need to talk and at least try to get along'. But she doesn't need to know that. Yet.]
