[ Kylo goes quiet. Very quiet. Her gaze lowers and a solemn look covers her features. Lost, hmm? Well, it wasn't not accurate, but the way he said it made it sound like a death.

Also not entirely untrue. Brianna was supposed to be dead. Buried. Gone, along with any traces of the light. But many things were 'supposed to' have happened, or hadn't happened as planned or intended. ]


Is. [ Her voice is quiet. Even, in an attempt at hiding emotion. ] Her daughter is Force-sensitive.

[ For a fleeting moment she feels compelled to share a memory, to make him understand. A glimpse of truth within the sea of lies. The light encourages and the dark considers it a wasted effort, and the moment passes as Kylo shifts her eyes back to Poe. ]

Her shame must be great if she didn't confide in you the truth. I can't say I'm surprised. She's always preferred to keep the dark truths about the family to herself. [ Sometimes Kylo wonders if the truth about her grandfather hadn't been kept from her if it would have changed things. It certainly had come at near the worst time, when Snoke was sowing the seeds of distrust. How was she supposed to fight the dark when there was such a strong disposition to it in her very blood? ]

[ finn, pulling open all the emotional curtains like he's waiting for a guy in a scooby doo villain mask to finally pop out: AHA, I BET YOU THOUGHT I'D NEVER FIGURE OUT THE CATCH BEFORE YOU COULD DROP IT ON ME AFTER I LET MY GUARD DOWN. and then there's never an actual catch. it's poe being a good person who cares about what happens to him all the way down.

there's something legitimately touching about this idea even though he can't put his finger on exactly what about it is so touching. poe just like, has a home he could go to and he'd bring his weird kidnapped stormtrooper with him and give him a place to stay. like it matters so much to him to make sure he keeps the option to choose whatever on the table.

not having to fight has never been an option before. ]


Who makes sure nothing happens to you?

[ if they make it there and poe does decide to go back, would he want to stay behind? is it kosher to jump into a fight that terrifies you if it's just to follow one person through it? finn doesn't want to think about it while it's not a real thing happening. ]

[ Ah, there it is. She can feel his anger as it grows, surges to the surface, threatening to scald. That was the emotion she expected. (There was a part of her that didn't want to be right about that, but she was choosing to ignore it because Brianna was loud enough as it was and these wounds were going to be quite unpleasant later when she allowed herself to feel them.) It's only a small amount of satisfaction she takes from the anger. That's Kylo, unquestionably. Noting it so she can use it later. Use it for what she has planned for him.

But the darkness would have its turn at him in time. ]


Yes, she does. [ The quiet near-calm lingers, even in the face of Poe's passionate emotions. A small sign of how Kylo has changed in the absence of Snoke's presence. ] But a child also deserves a proper chance.

[ Thanks to how much she's been in his head recently, she catches the thought about his mother without seeking it. The small pang of sympathy within her is all Brianna, and it keeps Kylo from poking at it in an effort to see him unhinged. ]

It upsets you, that she didn't tell you the full truth. I don't blame you. Imagine how I felt when I learned at the same time as the rest of the galaxy that her father was Lord Vader. That's something a mother should share, don't you think?

Poe Dameron?

[ Technically speaking, Rey is not in his section. In fact, she's never seen him before in her life — a fact which she regrets immediately upon seeing him because he's the kind of person who's so beautiful that you're like how did I go my whole life without this shining angel's presence, but that's not really appropriate for

Poe's tutoring hours.

Office hours, after all, are for the professors. Poe is tucked into a study room that he has reserved for questions from people in his section of Intro Engineering. Rey is not in Intro Engineering. She took it two years ago as a freshman. Finn, however, has been really enjoying Poe's … class. Sure. That.

And it's on his recommendation that she's come here for an issue in her Astrophysics class. Finn had been so sure he'd be able — and willing — to help.

She's doubting that now. This is definitely asking too much.
]

Hi. Rey. [ She slips in the door and lets it thud shut to dampen the hushed collaboration in the stacks. ] You probably don't know me. [ Had Finn mentioned her? Or alerted Poe she was coming? With her luck, probably not. She hardly saw a reason he would. ]

Protect me? How, by pushing me out of her life? By sending me away because she, like everyone else, was afraid of what's inside of me?

[ Her calm wavers, not with anger but hurt, as she steps closer to the bars of the cell. It's been a very, very long time since she's even thought of such things. The past was the first thing Snoke sought to kill. And speaking of such things? She couldn't remember... had she ever? Perhaps to Luke, maybe. Not that the hero Luke Skywalker had time for a young girl's feelings of abandonment and loss at trying to find her place in the galaxy as the two sides of the Force tore at her soul. ]

No, that's not protection. She was protecting herself if anyone. She didn't care what I felt or what I wanted. No one ever has. They only see the strength of the Force, not the person that's been forced to carry it all their life. I never asked for this burden but it's mine just the same.

[ She stops as her eyes start to sting and she hastily wipes at them, frustrated with herself for still being upset about the past. Some poor stormtrooper or officer was probably going to suffer for this show of emotion later.

Not wanting to dwell on it any longer, she's all too happy to latch on to something else Poe said. Something that makes her huff out a breath and shake her head. ]


I'm not interested in destroying the galaxy. Don't confuse the First Order's desires with my own.

I'm not.

[ He's a TA and he has better things to be doing and limited time because he's working on his phD anyway, but she's here. Here to suck his time. Here to … suck. Rey drops her bag onto the study table. ]

Actually I already passed your class. [ No, that's not right. ] Intro Engineering, that is. But I have this astrophysics midterm coming up that's absolutely going to crush me. Finn told me that you might be able to help because you'd mentioned how the course had been a part of your undergrad too, and —

[ Oh, she sounds so stupid and presumptuous. ]

If you don't have time, or you want me to piss off, you can just say so. I won't mind. Really. But if you do ... well, I thought Finn and I could have you over for dinner to say thanks sometime.

[ Is she ... pimping out Finn ? ?? ? for help on her astrophysics midterm? Yes. Yes, she is. ]

[ A grin spreads over her face and she sits down with an immediate, earnest haste. It wasn't so much that Finn had been right about him —and maybe he had. Gorgeous, kind, a little radical. — but rather that Finn's insistence on its own that Poe was the perfect person to tutor her because he was a TA already and he'd taken that program and and and — had given her exactly the in she'd needed.

Look at Finn go. Hot for teacher. Well, TA at least. If it happened to benefit Rey as well, there was nothing wrong with that.
]

Brilliant.

[ She pulls the binder out of her bag and flips it open, revealing a chaotic mess of chicken scratch notes. ]

My professor's a real piece of work. The labs are torture, and he acts like he's the only person in the whole galaxy qualified to teach anything. Not that he'll help you, if you don't get it the first time. [ She scoffs rudely, then realizes that … someone in this department must be Poe's phD advisor, and she starts moving more slowly. Hopefully it was not ? ? ?? the same person?? ? ] Uh, you know. I just mean … he rides us.

Ren. [ She corrects him ominously, her mouth dry. She doesn't really want to have to explain the humiliation of last semester, but — ] I needed a faculty recommendation for the course. Skywalker wouldn't give me his, so I wound up in Ren's section.

[ And now she's going to fail out of her degree program because she can't pass his torture session of an astrophysics section. She moves on from that. She is not going to fail this course. She is not going to lose her scholarship. She is not going to be kicked out of her degree program. ]

I get the concepts. The principles. But everyone says his midterm is a practical, and I … I freeze in the lab, Poe. It's terrible.
forcevisions: (They say)

[personal profile] forcevisions 2018-05-16 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
Work something out like …?

[ Slowly Rey's eyebrows creep up on her forehead. Like this is an anime and they are wandering up into the stratosphere. This is now a college au anime. ]

I don't — Poe, I swear, I didn't come here looking for special treatment. I don't need any favors. [ She holds her hands up. She doesn't want to cheat or make a fuss or — Any of that!!! That's another good way to get a target painted on her back. ] I just want to keep my scholarship. That's all. And without a B in Ren's course, I can't do that.
forcevisions: (we can share my mood)

[personal profile] forcevisions 2018-05-16 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ If Poe was going for 'emotionally supportive mentor figure,' he has not landed among the stars here. He's stuck in orbit like space debris that's destined to come plummeting down as a fake asteroid into the ocean and killing some reef or another. ]

Oh. [ She pulls her notebook back towards her. Oh. That's all she's got. Replacing the grade on her transcript won't keep her scholarship because it'll take too long, but there's no point to saying that, is there? He's failed people for stupid reasons, minor stuff, and he seems to entirely hate her. Even though she knows all the content, even though she works harder than everyone else in the section. She folds the notebook back up.

She's going to get kicked out and sent back to Jakku to wait tables at Cafe Niima for the rest of her life. And everyone there will make fun of her for ever thinking she could escape.
]

I see. [ She's clearly shellshocked by this news. Her mind has also cycled now to the fact that there's no way she can take another teacher's section because she couldn't get Skywalker's recommendation the first time, would he really give it to her after she'd failed Ren's??? And that's even assuming she could somehow sustain herself for the next semester without her scholarship money and while on academic probation for her degree program and— ] I'm sorry; I've wasted your time.
forcevisions: (and head to new york city)

[ 'Be realistic.' That's what they'd said to her in Jakku too when she'd gone off to get her fancypants education. They'd thought she considered herself better than them, and … and maybe for a minute she'd dared to hope that she was.

Maybe that was it. Maybe that was what bothered Professor Ren so much about her.

It didn't matter now. Poe was right; she had to be realistic. Realistically, she wouldn't pass this class. That meant she needed a back-up plan for her scholarship money, not just for this midterm. She'd need to find a way to make up the money to cover tuition and her half of the rent.
]

It sounds like you can't help me at all. [ She holds up a hand. ] I don't mean that unkindly. But Professor Ren has already decided he hates me. If he's failing students for no reason, why does he even have that section? Why is he even here, and why hasn't the administration done something?

[ Her eyes narrow slightly, his attitude only adding pressure to the old wounds. Were the side of her that he's most familiar with in control, she would have lashed out by now, and violently so. ]

Well you'll just have to learn to see it differently. [ It comes out more as a statement than a threat.

After a moment she sighs and spares a glance down the corridor. The Knight she had earlier dismissed was sending her a signal, a reminder that a patrol would be coming through the area shortly. If there was anything else she didn't wish being overheard, she needed to say it. ]


Not that you're inclined to listen, but I'd recommend resting up while you can. Hold onto that anger to keep you warm. You're not going to like what General Hux has planned for tomorrow.

[ Kylo didn't not like it, but she would also be there to supervise. She certainly didn't trust the general alone with Poe. Especially not when working on something designed to damage the Resistance; a little bit of propaganda to enhance the war effort. Once she was done here with him she would be off to the armory to see if her new helmet had been completed. She wanted to be sure to paint a suitably intimidating picture. ]
forcevisions: (that i probably shouldn't)

[personal profile] forcevisions 2018-05-16 03:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Adds up tbh. ]

Isn't that cheating?

[ Should Poe be encouraging her to cheat? No. Probably not. But he is, and he seems so trustworthy, and he's gotten to be a TA in the engineering school somehow. (Nepotism. It's nepotism.) ]

Poe, if he catches me, I don't just lose my scholarship. I'm done. Kicked out done.
