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.

[ He takes a deep breath, counts to five, reminds himself that she's outside the purview of the Resistance military. ]

Telling you I'm an adult isn't pulling rank. Reminding you that you're a kid and I'm an adult? That's pulling rank. And if I need to do it, Rey, then fine. You are not my keeper, you never were, and you will never be. I've been shooting people out of the sky almost longer than you've been alive. The only person in this galaxy or any other that I answer to without question is General Organa.

[ He sighs. ] Should I have told you differently? Yeah, maybe. Am I sorry I did it? No, I'm not. I have my reasons, and I don't owe them to you. Be mad at me. That's fine. But don't pretend that this was somehow more dangerous than strapping myself into an X-wing and throwing my life at the First Order. This was a friend giving me a gift I couldn't have dreamed of back home, and me turning it into trouble for him.

I will do what I want, and it's not because I don't care about your feelings. It's because I don't belong to you. I'm your friend. That's true. But I am also the person I was before you met me, and that's not going to change.

[ Quieter: ] You're still a kid, Rey. Not a child. Maybe you never were one, but you're still a kid.

[ Poe rubs his face with both hands. ]

Which bigger picture? There are a lot of big pictures these days.

Enough.

[ He wasn't mad. He was tired, he was frustrated, sure. But he wasn't mad.

A moment of silence, of anger held back, and when he speaks, it's quietly. ]


Muran. Lampar. Kun. Asty. Arana. Furillo. Meltsa. Seastriker. Teffer. Wright. I could keep going. Do you know any of those names? Do you know any of those names?

They are gone. Every single one of them. I was their commander, and they died. You blame yourself for what you can't control and you'll either die too or wish you had.

I'm here. I'm right here. I won't go anywhere while the two of you are still here. Not of my own free will. We promised to look after each other, we promised not to leave each other, and if one of us disappears I'm entirely comfortable burning this place to the ground to find out where that person went. But if one of us does disappear, it is no one's fault. If one of us does disappear, it's not because we didn't care enough. This is life. In life, people die. They vanish. The universe takes them. There's nothing we can do about that but keep living until we get taken ourselves.

[ It's a fucking harsh way to try and prove his point, but there they are. ]
