[sometimes you just gotta cry it out man. cryfest 2k18. poe is gonna try to act real cool like he did not just spend several minutes minimum silently crying on someone who doesn't remember him. he's cool. everything is cool. that's why he pulls away to wipe his face off with his sleeve. he just got some toxic fumes from the lower levels in his eyes. for several minutes. don't worry about it.]

Yeah, no. Wasn't planning on making my new home here. [he releases finn from the cryfest hug and unsteadily pushes himself to his feet.

a thought occurs to him, and he climbs back into the tie fighter to come out with two blasters -- one that is actually his, and the one he stole with his stormtrooper uniform. nothing says let's go on a date in the slums like making sure you're armed. after a beat, he offers the resistance-issue one to finn. definitely on purpose.]

Just in case. Anybody who's down here is probably down here to do things they don't want anybody else to know about, so they'll leave us alone, but... [but.]
