force_sensitive: (well...)

She was hardly surprised to hear Ben agree to her idea. But Poe's little outburst? It both shocked and angered her a bit, before remorse took over. Rey knew she was already asking too much of her partner. General Dameron was not going through an easy time. Ever since being promoted, Poe's responsibilities towards the Resistance, even to the New Republic, had increased no matter of where in the galaxy he found himself these days.

And the reason why he had taken Leia Organa's role was sitting right across him, sharing a meal with him. The reason why Poe had lost fellow solderies, many friends.

She didn't dare chastise him, despite off the bitter taste his comment left in her mouth.

"We won't, don't worry. We'll just take some stuff into storage."

A little reluctant, Rey looked across the table, dreading how Ben had taken those words. Pushing her food in her plate a bit, she tried to find words to try and make ammends for this. Maybe she needed to remind them both of why it was worth, being all three of them together in this journey?

"Ben's been helping me so much. Before, the Force was like some slippery thing, I could rarely focus enough to be sure I had control over it. Half the time, I thought I was imagining things. Now-- I feel so much more focused."

She smiled gently and her Master Organa's son. Her new teacher, in a way.

Turning to Poe, she reached for his hand, giving it a gentle squeeze.

"Think of the things we'll be able to do, having two Jedi. Maybe we'll even find other people like us. We'll be able to help so many people."
