he tears himself away from this entire train of thought ASAP just to try to keep functioning. one thing at a time. it's only through deliberate and painful effort that he's not flipping the majority of his shits already, so he's repressing the heck out of everything he can for the time being.
AND HE'LL STAND UP TOO, HE GUESSES? THEY'RE DOING THIS? he's sure not in the mood to get stunned, because he wouldn't get a chance to punch this man in the face for doing it pre-death, so like. might as well, apparently. have the wariest/saltiest side-eye of your life tho, poe, you've earned it. ]
