[It's still weird to think that Thalia knows more about his life than he does and it's weird that she's…not a tree? The timelines being fucked up isn't helping any of this so he can't even give her a proper answer.

Right. There was a question, not just "shut up Luke I know what I'm doing."] Don't worry, you're not associated with the enemy or whatever. I just told people that you and I are from the same world and we used to know each other. That's pretty much the truth, isn't it? [There really isn't a right answer here, is there?] That would have come out eventually. I'd rather it be from me than something else.
