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.

[If she can't remember why, he thinks she must have been a very young child at the time. It makes him angry on her behalf; it sounds like injustice, like cruelty. The Watch had taught him that many men's lots were worse than his had been, but even so, few had been forced to that kind of work, not even Pyp or Grenn.

Could you afford to have friends in that situation, when every task meant another bit of food or water? What if the recruits of the Watch had been truly set against each other, instead of being encouraged to embrace each other as brothers? The killers who joined to escape a death sentence would have killed everyone else.]


You were alone there? How did others come to Jakku? Willingly, or...?

[Jon is, for all his brooding, more or less a kind and affable man. But his expression has gone from friendly to sober and troubled through the course of this exchange.]

When I was a boy, I made a vow to stay somewhere without fully understanding what it meant, and I was only released from it by... by accident. I made it because I didn't know what else to do, and I didn't have anywhere else to go, but it was still my choice. Until the moment I made it, I could have left freely. It was a harsh place, but I think that in many ways, Jakku was harsher for you.

Things are better for you now? How did you get away? Not only by coming to Riverview, I gather.

The one who talks in numbers! [BB-8's reputation precedes him.]

It's good that you got away. Where did you get away to? We're bound to the ground where I'm from, Rey... everyone but Daenerys. She rides her dragon. I can only ride in a winch cage or climb a tower's steps to get high in the air, and then only so high as people can build. Touching the stars sounds like a miracle.
