"Jane," Luke admonishes, albeit tiredly, frowning at the blatant display of affection. Stars, he doesn't recall him and Hannah being that forward, despite having been young and full of energy back in the days of the Rebellion. And Jane and Jon have been what, together since they were students at the Academy? He remembers Ben grumbling about a boy she'd taken a fancy to, and being introduced during one of their visits to the Temple... really, he doesn't oppose them being together; he just wishes they'd keep it down.
He does, however, catch Ben and the others out of the corner of his eyes, and something in him says that Jane might be putting on a show on purpose. His daughter's told him the gist of what happened in the years that they've been away — the worst of it being that Ben had killed Jon, and that she'd brought him back, or something. Not that she knows or understands how, only that she did.
He rolls his eyes some as the younger couple finally leaves, and Hannah catches it for sure as it's right about the time they greet each other in a tight hug. He inhales deeply, taking in his wife's presence both physical and in the Force, just thankful that they're all alive after what had definitely been a suicide mission. "I could get used to you wanting to see me," he says with a small smile, his arms tightening around her a little more before letting her go.
He nods at Rey; he's heard of her, the scavenger. Finn he's met sometime earlier thanks to Poe. "Welcome to the Resistance," he offers, once more serious, mostly because he doesn't know how else to be. Hannah did introduce him as the General.
Or maybe it's really because of the latest addition to Hannah's ragtag party. He's practically holding his breath when he turns to face Ben. Their son.
"Hello, Ben," he tries again. He looks like he's about to start forward to give the younger man a hug, but uncertainty can be read on his face and echoes through his presence in the Force. Ben had walked out of their comm conversation earlier, after all. What's to say he wouldn't, now?
Thankfully, Hannah breaks the ice by asking if anyone wants a drink, although Rey politely declines and Finn just shakes his head and Luke... "Maybe later. Let's first get all of you settled." Having something to do is good. It'll distract him from the awkwardness of what's supposed to be a joyous family reunion.

Jane could feel her father's disapproval in the Force, but she pays it no mind, letting Jon lift her off her feet and carry her inside. Hey, if he's holding her, he wouldn't be able to punch Ben or, worse, grab his saber to try to fight him. She'd felt him wanting to do it earlier, and even now, there's still traces of that anger and desire for retribution in their bond.
It's only once they're through the first door that she shifts to get back down, grabbing both his hands and tugging him into their room in what's clearly in record them. Then she all but pins him to the wall, the hydraulic door hissing shut to their left. "I'm here," she murmurs, resting her forehead against his. She guides his hands around her waist, hoping he'll keep them there. "I'm here," she repeats, closing her eyes. "I'm sorry, love."
the lovebirds are going off to their room now and will reappear for the brawl during dinner lmao
