Thanks, man. I've never really experimented with growing one — I was in the military for a long time. I guess I could try here. Why the comment? Bad history with beards?
Starships. I mostly flew fighter class back home, but like I said. I can fly anything, don't care too much what it is.
If you want to, but I think you look better without it. Beards can be a bad choice sometimes. Might make you look like a trucker or something.
Starships? I've been learning about those from plans a friend of mine had. How common is space travel where you are from? I guess it has to be pretty common if you're flying a fighter. Were you in a war?
They transport cargo across the planet in land vehicles. I think you probably have a space variation. An acquaintance of mine from another universe with space travel worked as a cargo pilot for a time.
I hope you get the help you need. War is a terrible thing for both sides, and everyone caught in the middle, and I would not wish it on anyone.
Oh! Got it. My mom was a cargo pilot before the war. Not the one I'm in right now, the one before that. The Galactic Civil War. We thought the one my parents fought in would be the last one of its kind, but ... things are never that simple, I guess. Unfortunately.
I guess even animals fight for territory and food. The difference just seems to be scale, and the weapons used. It's strange. Sometimes sentient nature is capable of great and beautiful things, and other times- well. [He would just say war is a terrible thing, again, but he sidesteps it.]
Yeah, of course. How can I help if I never go back? I couldn't just stand by relaxing here while people were hurting, knowing I could do something about it.
I understand. I had a friend who felt similarly. I don't think I could do it. Even for the right cause, war isn't really something I have in me. But I have a lot of respect for you, fighting for what you believe in and trying to do your part to help.
[He doesn't need to know the cause or reason. Whether Poe was fighting for a side he would agree or disagree with, his sentiment is one Caleb understands. That desire to help others is deeply rooted in him, even if he didn't believe he could act on it to the scale of a war.]
I hope it works out for you, and that you never have to take the drastic measures others I have known had to take in their wars.

But what do you prefer to fly?

Really common! Space travel is completely normalized. And I was in a war, yeah. It's still going on. I hope that by being here, I can help.

Sometimes I think it's just human nature. We'll always find something to fight about.

Are you planning on going back to it?

Thanks, though. I hope so, too.
