[ She accepts this because it fits with her naive expectations of how Right everything should go. : ) Rey has learned and grown as a person since her big ol' Hanabira failure. But she looks serious about that nod she gives him at least. ]
Thrawn has probably already guessed that I've revealed to you what he told me. But … If he says anything else to you, if you learn more, please. [ She gets to her feet. ] He's clever. We won't win if we don't do this together.
[he gets up, too. he can tell rey is 100% set and self-assured that she's doing the Right Thing and they're going to outsmart thrawn and live happily ever after and
here he is feeling like he sold someone out. that's not right. the feeling's not right, but also he knows that it's not right that he should feel that way at all.
that's probably not weird? maybe rey won't pick up on it and bother him about it because clearly They All Trusted Thrawn. that's all it is. clearly. if he tells himself that's all it is enough times, he'll believe it. (you'll never guess how that goes.)]
Sure, yeah. You're right. We've gotta work together.
[ Ah yes. The melancholy of trusting Thrawn and still feeling a connection to him, accepting that Thrawn had fulfilled a need for them both that was now hollow again. She understands it well. She reaches out to squeeze his arm reassuringly. Implicit understanding. Such a powerful thing. Wow. ]
Thank you. For trusting me. [ She shifts her weight a little. ] I know it's hard, still.
[ But they've found something good in the middle here. They're working on it. He's apparently accepted that she's 'training with Kylo Ren' and that there's more stuff she's not sharing, but he's not demanding it from her. That's good. He's let it go. Just like he's trying to let Thrawn go.
Anyway she needs to escape the Feelings happening here. ]
You know more Empire history than I do. If you get an idea on how we can sabotage his efforts, let me know.
[yep. he sure did. poe dameron, master of letting things go. so good at letting things go he's actually elsa. that sure does sound like poe elizabeth dameron.
[ She gives him a friendly kiss on the cheek before she leaves him with that — gratitude for the concessions he had made with her, for the effort.
Of course, she doesn't expect him to come up with anything more substantial than she and Ben were able to figure out, but she wants to give him the chance to weigh in — particularly since she doesn't feel like she can bounce her plan off him. ]

WHAT THE FUCK REY.]
Yeah. I know it's been rough between us, but I'm trying. [he means that much.] I'll think about it.
