He had a better idea of who she actually was, now, and why he'd recognized her, but he wasn't going to call her out on it, not unless she brought it up herself, because it made sense now that she'd be in hiding.
While on the one hand he didn't want to lie to her, he also didn't think that telling her everything would do her any good either, and so he told part of the truth, "Yeah, got married to a smuggler, well, I mean, he was a general at the time too. A lot of people were then. Their son Ben and I were practically inseparable as kids." A shrug, "Then I went off to the Republic Academy and he went off to train with Commander Skywalker and we haven't really been in contact since." Especially when all he knew was that 'something had happened' and Ben was either dead or lost, or, he was always hopeful, in hiding along with Luke.
