Too soon? I just thought it would be more practical.
We've known each other for years already and it makes sense if we're in a relationship. I would have given it to you even if we weren't dating if I thought you might need it.
[So his reasoning is surprisingly simple if also...different than what Leia is likely thinking. For one, he's already the kind of guy who doesn't think "too much" about the nuances of a relationship. After all, he and Presa started living together within days of hooking up (whether there had been some ulterior motive is up to debate).
Secondly...it's Leia. As he said, even if they weren't dating, if he thought Leia might need to crash at his place, he'd let her. And if he thought it would be a common occurrence, he'd just give her a key and call it a day. Simple, efficient, and no strings attached. So if he's already thinking that for if they were friends, the fact that they're not in a relationship just makes it that much easier. He'd probably be less open to it if it were during their first year of knowing each other, but as he said, it's been a couple and they've been through a lot that would make those three years seem like double.
And beneath it all, she's also someone he trusts a lot. He knows she won't bring random people to his place, again further cemented by the fact that they're dating.
So all of this, especially the fact that he's known her for a few years (which, if you think about it, is already a new thing for him since he's never kept any "deep" relationships longer than a few weeks to a few months), really doesn't make him think about the "too soon" problem, let alone the implications behind it. If anything, because it is something he's already done before with Presa, he might think it natural.]
