If anyone has been contacted by Poe Dameron about being turned into a bird...

He is fine. He is well. ~~For the time being.~~ [deleted]

I'm taking care of it...

And I truly do apologize for his...excitement, for lack of a better term.

If anyone is upset, just contact me directly.

Thank you.

Karen? She's....I don't know what to think.

[Hopefully Poe apologies, he better apologize.]

Is there anything I can do to make it up to you? Aside from not doing this again.

I could pick some words.

[But he's not really the type to bitch about someone behind their back when he can do it to their face.]

You do that whole scavenging thing with Cisco, right?

There are some words that would describe her...but it sounds like she's worried about Poe.

[Rey wouldn't bitch about someone to another person...no.]

Yes, I do. We've gone out and scavenged around once. I want to go back out again, but haven't had time.

Is she from your world?

[He's guessing no, but it can't hurt to check.]

Keep an eye out for cool magic shit while you're out there and if you find something for me, we'll call it even.

No, she's not. Poe would've said so.

[Oh...okay. That's not too bad, except..]

What would you define as 'cool magic shit'?

So she's riding my dick about some dude she met like two months ago, tops?

[Taako please talk like a normal person for once in your life.]

Anything with symbols or runes on it, probably glowing, if it's in a temple or something that's usually a good sign.

[There's a long moment of silence as Rey tries not to think about the LITERAL meaning of what Taako is saying.]

I don't know if they met two months ago or not. I've only heard of her once, and that was recently.

[Another pause as she tries to remember if she saw anything with runes on it.]

The things we found were...useful, but after a while we had to leave. The area that we were in had been contaminated. [And she washed her hands fifty times.]

Aren't you afraid the item with runes might be ...cursed or something? I don't doubt your abilities, but I wouldn't want you to get..cursed.

Does that make sense?

So she could chill out a little, is what I'm getting.

[They're not lifelong friends or whatever, she can back off as far as he's concerned.

As for getting cursed...]

Nope, that's uh-- that's a valid concern, but trust me, I'll definitely check for that sorta thing. Lup will kill me if I don't, after last time.

...Oh..Okay, fair point. She was snappy with me when I spoke to her.

[Karen could've handled that differently, and maybe Rey is just over protective of Poe considering he left and then came back.]

And if it ends up cursing me because I removed it?

[Covering all bases here, she's willing to do, just not die from it.]

How about, if I go and see something interesting, I can send you a photo--I think this comm can do that--and you let me know if it's something that interests you?

Also a good point.

[Cisco would be upset with him if he got Rey cursed.]

Photos are great, video's good too, that definitely works for me.

[The girl already has enough shit to deal with. If she gets cursed...well then she'll be screwed.]

Okay, I can send you photos and videos of what I find. I'll let you know in advance when I'm going and what time.

There ya go, apology accepted and now we're even, you don't gotta worry.

[Honestly, if she does find something cool he'll give it to Rin or Lucretia, depending on whether it's valuable, but he figures this way Rey can stop feeling guilty.]

[Phew, good. They can be even this way, and she does feel a little better.]

Okay, if you say so.

If...Poe asks to be turned again...maybe you could let me know? Just in case something happens, I at least know to look for a bird rather than a human.

This is all assuming he asks again, and you say yes.

It only lasts for an hour, I mean - I do know a spell that can permanently turn someone into an animal, but I'm not powerful enough to cast it, so you don't gotta worry about him being stuck.

[Just to be honest there.]

But yeah, I'll let you know. If all that shit happens first.

[He's undecided.]

He didn't tell me it was for an hour. [Grumble, grumble. Really Poe? You didn't tell her that!]

I appreciate you letting me know that. The way he made it sound was that, he was a bird for a while.

[There's a soft sigh of relief.]

Thank you...truly, thank you, Taako.

An hour probably felt like a long time.

[Do birds have concepts of time? He's never actually stayed polymorphed for an entire hour, so he doesn't know how it feels.]

Don't thank me, it's all good.

Probably felt like hours to him, but..still could've told me. [And no sense in going around and around.]

Okay.

[Beat]

...are you still making those candies?

Men are stupid.

[Learn this lesson now, Rey, it will save a lot of time.]

I've been back a couple times, why?

Which ones? The good ones or the bad ones?

[She's starting to learn this lesson with Poe.]

I was hoping to get another one, if that's alright.

All of them, darling.

[Maybe they're born with it. Maybe it's Maybelline.]

Oh, for sure, any flavor requests?

...Are you including yourself in that list?

[She's a bit hesitant to ask that, but hey, she needs to know...and it's making her smile a little.]

Something that takes my mind off of Poe being an idiot. A lovable one, but still an idiot.

I'm an elf, not a man.

[That's semantics, but he sounds amused.]

I dunno if candy can manage that, we might have to up the stakes. What are your feelings on cookies?

Oh. [Well...does that really change things.] Then, wonderful to know men are idiots.

Cookies are enjoyable...especially the ones that are chocolate and have cream centers.

I could go to a store just buy some cookies...do you want any?

[Taako clicks his tongue in immediately reproach.]

I don't think so, I'm not going to let someone eat store bought cookies while I'm around.

[THE HORROR]

Let me whip some up for ya.

To be fair...what's the difference?

[Because she has never had home made cookies before, GASP.]

You don't have too! I've put you through too much trouble as is!
