when poe's ship lands in the hangar bay, jyn stands there waiting, impatiently shifting her weight from one hip to the other. it's been a few weeks since they'd last seen each other ; many of their missions had overlapped with their downtime, causing them to just miss the other's arrival on base with an inopportune departure. now that she has a few days before she ships off again, she intends to see for herself that he's in one piece –– and, she's managed to convince cassian to cook a meal tonight for the occasion ( a win-win, in her books ).

"poe," bodhi calls across the hangar bay, raising a hand in a quick wave of both greeting and a beckoning signal, "if you've a moment, i would like your opinion on something." bodhi can remember the last time this all happened ; the leg that is no longer there still sometimes aches, and he wakes up even these days with tentacles and grenades on his mind. he does what he can these days. runs training drills for new pilots, lends a hand - - - as he is now - - - fixing up the battered ships that return from missions.

INCORRECT QUOTES
Poe Dameron && Ben Solo / @resistancesheir
POE: How do I deal with my enemies?
BEN: Kill them
POE: That's a bit extreme, I was hoping for a more passive solution
BEN: Kill them only a little?

the general cast a scolding glance at the pilot stood beside her, hovering over her almost… but that was hardly difficult for most. petite stature notwithstanding, the weight of experience and legend lent her a gravity few could surpass. and leia organa wielded it well. ❝ you are too bold for your own good, poe. ❞ flyaway strands of brown and gray swayed as the former senator shook her head. ❝ it wouldn’t hurt you to slow down a little. ❞

@resistancesheir sent: “ are they bothering you ? ” @ finn!
Finn shook his head, patting the other on the shoulder as they chose to leave. "Careful, there's having my back and then there is being overprotective."

“Your abilities to amplify the force, do they know about them?” It wasn’t a trick question or a trap, but Luke knew he had a tendency to sound that way. In truth, it was only curiosity with a hint of concern. Poe’s new friends had great potential, but they needed to learn how to use that potential without Poe’s influence - an influence that Luke wanted to make sure @resistancesheir still in control of.
Straightening up in his seat, Luke’s lower back felt stiff and it somehow didn’t seem fair that the struggle of growing old could exist side by side with the abilities granted to him by the force. He thought about running through Dagobah with Master Yoda on his back, and how far away growing old had seemed then, his next day never guaranteed, and yet now he was the old teacher. “Why don’t we meditate later?”

He'd been quiet most of the evening, muscles sore and mind working as he went through the motions of the evening. Eating, giving a laugh that was barely a beat behind everyone else, falling in line behind Poe like he had any idea what he was going to do with the rest of his time.
Just because he was a bad stormtrooper didn't mean Finn had forgotten how to do things by rote.
Poe was... safe. The one he went to when he decided to leave the First Order. Of course it was Poe that he followed behind when he was too distracted to do anything else. But that was earlier and this was now, the fingers of one hand playing with the cuff of the sleeve on the opposite side of his jacket. Poe's jacket.
Sighing swiftly, he reached out to grab Poe's arm, to drag him down a different hallway even though there was still just as much chance of someone walking by. It still make him feel better.
"Do you think I'm wasting my time?" He asked before staring at Poe expectantly, forgetting the need to provide context.

A short thing ― @resistancesheir
“Wait, your rank is what?” Din knew he’d heard correctly, but he also knew there had to be a story attached to that. Poe always was full of surprises, you’d think he was used to it by now, but not quite.

❝ it doesn’t always have to be you , you know ? your shoulders aren’t the only ones that can bear the weight of the world . ❞ it was something that should’ve been said to him all those years ago , throughout the majority of his adulthood , it was a lesson he hadn’t really learned until it was too late . Luke recognized it as a lesson this one had yet to learn , and the Jedi could only hope that it didn’t come too late for him as well .

@resistancesheir , continued from here :
jyn observes his antics with an unamused eyebrow, undercut, however, by the fond look in her eyes. now that poe's officially joined the rebellion ( or resistance, or whatever the fuck they're calling themselves ), she spends much more time around him, more so than when he'd been younger. while she has no interest in having children of her own, poe, he's –– he's a good kid. she and cassian look out for him where they can.
and while she can't exactly force him to take a break ( well, she could –– she's not as strong as she used to be but still pretty karking strong ), she can guide the conversation in another direction. at his spluttering lies, her face brightens with unconcealed glee. though she doesn't know finn well, having only met him in a few brief conversations, she'd known there had been something between the two. ( cassian owes her ten credits , even though she suspects he'd known, too. )
" y'know, cassian and i started as ' just friends, ' too, " she says blatantly. a bald-faced lie –– as if she hadn't wanted to kill cassian when they'd first met. at his embarrasment, however, she leans over, grabs his hand gently, squeezes briefly before letting go ( all these years and physical touch is still difficult for her ). " but if he makes you happy, then i'm happy. even if you are ' just friends. ' "

@resistancesheir requested an icons based starter ! icon #115
THERE WERE MANY WHO WONDERED WHY HE KEPT IT. he’d wondered that himself, he’d known when he left that the shedding of everything Kylo Ren would be expected of him. he’s still surprised no one confiscated it from him to burn. there’d never seemed to be much use in keeping it around, especially after he started to distance himself from it, and it went from being an item of security to a nasty reminder, and a chain holding him back. now though, he was sure that they were all glad that the mask had survived. pretending to be Kylo Ren again was the only way they were going to get the information they needed before the First Order got to it.
it had surprised him little to learn that the news of his treachery was slow to spread, it would speak ill of Snoke’s leadership if his best operative and one of his highest ranking underlings had turned to the Resistance. might’ve even brought more support to the Resistance’s cause. after Finn’s own desertion as well, Ben knew that Snoke would want to keep a tight lid on whatever domino effect that might’ve ensued. it would be used to their advantage, but Ben knew that they would also have to be careful, if any tried to contact the First Order about this impromptu visit, the dangers of this mission would rise exponentially.
Ben turned to the pilot when he felt his presence join him, he’d gotten so used to not being so restricted by the visor of his mask that he had to remind himself to turn so he could see. he wondered how the other felt about the mask, many had expressed their displeasure over seeing it again, but Ben hoped that they had begun to see him as more than that. he wanted to separate himself from that life as much as possible, wanted to leave it behind so he could move on and try to do some good for once. perhaps he would be able to start tomorrow. ❝ is everything ready for our departure? ❞ this needed to be an in and out mission, they couldn’t take anything to chance. Ben clipped the crossguard to his belt and felt around his waist for where he hid Ren’s under his tunic as he spoke to the other.

‘ who are you? ‘ the tantive iv could only hold about one hundred and twenty souls, and it was rarely that crowded. she knew each of the fifteen regular crew members that staffed the corvette she used as her personal transport while on official business. or business that she needed to look official. ‘ how did you get on my ship? ‘ if he was a refugee, he wouldn’t be the first, and she wouldn’t be angry. he looked military, though, and it made her hackles raise. if the empire was sending people onto her ship now, she would raise hell in the senate.

@resistancesheir : ❛ i lost control. ❜
“ that, is usually what happens without practice, “ leaning her back against the durasteel wall panel, arms crossed — she’s ready to listen. mara watches him unflinchingly at the confession, wondering just what could’ve gone on in her absence . no matter what had happened with the jedi, there was still some vestige of that light left … and she clung to it. “ what happened this time ? “ things around them had quieted to a dull hum, and even if she was planning on leaving again, she could spare this. even if she hadn’t planned on saying goodbye to anyone …. here she stood, still.
