[Which is a weak answer, he knows, but it's the deserved truth.] Tatooine is a trading hub at the best of times; the people who come by are too varied for me to really know everything about them. You spoke Basic, so I didn't really think about it until we got here. [Whatever Miles was or wasn't, he'd assumed it was the norm for his planet.]
[More fool him.] I'm sorry. I shouldn't have assumed.
