Ben nods. "I've heard of such things, where I come from. I believe the dead never truly leave us." It's something he can personally vouch for - spirits are a thing where he comes from, as well as communing with ancestors. He's never seen a Force ghost personally, but he's well aware that they exist.

His interest immediately switches to his meal. "Thank you." He looks for a place to find a seat so he can enjoy it properly. Aarne will see him lick his lips as he looks over the stacked plate. He'll make short work of it once he sits.

He looks over to the wooden cup. "I'll have to thank you for the drink, too."
