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.

And then everything comes to a halt.]
What do you mean it got him killed?
[Is he dead in Alec's world? Was this another reason why Alec wanted to stay here? Jyn and Cassian, she knew were dead, and probably would opt for staying here...
But to know Jace was dead or could be dead? She couldn't imagine how Alec felt at the time.]
[private; audio]
Jace wanted to protect us, so he snuck off before a battle so that he could confront the enemy alone. It - He - [Suddenly, he realizes that he hasn't told anyone about that day in weeks. He'd lied to the Clave but when Izzy and Magnus asked after their memories had been altered, Alec had glossed over the details.] He only told one person what he was doing. I didn't know until I realized he was missing and then when he died.
It matters, Rey. Even if he doesn't listen, you'll know you tried to protect him.

Her problem seems small as she listens intently to Alec's story.]
But does that lessen the pain? The loss? [She's asking more for Alec's sake. If something had happened to Poe, even with her warning...would it have made the pain any worse than when she didn't look for him when he left the first time around? Or would it only solidify the point that maybe in her world, she was meant to be alone.
Even with her headache pounding away behind her eyes, she gains control of her emotions enough to ask:]
Do you need me to come over?
[Because you don't just say your best friend--your brother was killed and be 'okay' with it.]
[private; audio]
[He doubts it would have done any good. Recklessness was the only way to win against Sebastian, but maybe Alec could have warned Jace to be more wary of Valentine and Jace might have listened.] I'm always going to feel guilty for not doing more, even if he probably would have ignored me.
You shouldn't go out if you're not feeling well, unless you want to be away for awhile. We have room, if you need a place to calm down.
[private; audio]
I would feel guilty too...and I can't imagine how that must've felt, Alec. Have you...told Jace?
[About how he feels? The guilt?]
I'm asking more for you than me. [If he needed her to be there to comfort him, instead of the opposite...though given how emotional she was feeling, and how she didn't want to be near Poe right now, maybe she should get out.] I may feel like crap, but I might head outside...to help clear my head.
[private; audio]
I'm okay. It happened months ago. [Which really shouldn't mean it's okay but Jace is alive and he can feel him through the bond so he can handle it. Most of the time.] I talked to Magnus about it right after Jace died. He was there when the bond broke so he knows what it was like. But if you want to come over, we've probably got something that'll help the headache.
[private; audio]
I don't think you would be ruining it for Jace by bringing it up, but it's a matter of when and how you do it.
[Because timing and tone make a big difference in how you deliver news to someone, or even bring up a sensitive topic.
...And does she want to go over? Yes.]
..I'll be there soon. I just..need to get away for a little bit.
[private; audio]
[At least he's not trying to hide his role in the disaster Jace's life had become.]
I'll make sure that you can get into the building.
[He texts her the address while making sure that the wards will let her into the building and their apartment.]
[private; audio--> action]
[She doesn't really know what Alec meant by being sacrificed to an 'Angel,' but apocalypse, that she does understand. It's what would happen if the First Order ruled the galaxy. Chaos, and more bloodshed.]
I'll be there soon.
[Rey received the address and was heading over there. It takes her a bit longer than she wanted, because of her headache, the pounding feeling behind her eyes, but she manages to find the building and shots Alec a text that she's there.]
[private; audio--> action]
He's setting out painkillers, a glass of water, and one of the few muffins that lasted the morning rush when he receives her text and heads downstairs to meet her. He could buzz her in but it seems rude when she's fighting off a headache.]
I let everyone know you're here, but they'll leave you alone if you want.
[action]
Thank you. If the others want to see me, it's...it's fine.
[Who was she to tell Alec's family what to do? Either way, she follows her friend into the building, staying quiet, fighting off the headache and trying to center herself..
Fighting with one of your best friends wasn't the greatest thing around.]
