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.

[amorexmachina]

We had a war like that, on my world. They thought it would be the war to end all wars. A couple decades later, we had another.

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

[followhim]

Not just humans. At least, not where I come from. Sentient nature, maybe.

[amorexmachina]

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.]

Are you planning on going back to it?

[followhim]

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.

[amorexmachina]

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.

[followhim]

I understand that, too. I know it's not for everyone. Which is why I think it's so important that the ones who can do something act.

Thanks, though. I hope so, too.
