Hello everyone,

Last week sure had been something else. To those who helped me, or at least made a valiant attempt at not stepping on me, I can't thank you enough. To those who has no idea what I am talking about, ...lucky you! Feel free to ignore this message.

It is me or the hell had started pulsing at night? I haven't been in this city long enough to tell if that's normal. I am guessing it might have something to do with the Turtle finally awakening?


[Locked to Rey]

Can we talk? I'd like to know if you are okay.

[Locked to Kylo Ren]

So that was a thing that actually happened, uh?

I was asking about you, not him. And you never gave me a proper answer.

Who was flirting with you, though? Now I am curious. Was it Hux?

[That doesn't sound too safe.]

[no_light]

[ It's so good this is a text message, for otherwise he would have blurted out "Hux thought I was kissing you." ]

You don't know her.

It's also none of your business.

What is with this sudden fascination everyone has with my sex life?

[aprettyflyboy]

[Thankfully it's text, yes. That would have been really awkward.]

A lady, uh?

'Two people' isn't everyone. Don't flatter yourself. And you can't complain, you should see my squadrons, they are much worse. At least I'm not taking bets about what are you gonna do. Or who are you gonna do.

[no_light]

You're welcome to try, but I don't know how you're going to figure out if you won the bet.

[ He did grow up surrounded by other bored teenagers, whose greatest entertainment was meditation. Such bets aren't foreign to him. But it's still not fun when the bets are about him. ]

Yes, a lady. [ And he's not interested in talking preferences, if that's where Poe is heading, so best head this off. ] Maybe we should be discussing you instead.

[aprettyflyboy]

No, thanks. I'm not really that interested in your personal life, I'm just amazed that you have one.

[Poe knows that pain which is why he's not exactly prone to do it.

Ey, he was just curious, he won't pry more.]

Me...? What is there to discuss?

[no_light]

I don't know. If I were at all interested in your personal life I would have informed myself on the Finalizer.

[ He just wants it for fair play. If he has to suffer discomfort, so should Poe. ]

[aprettyflyboy]

Putting your abilities to good, use, I see.

[This is not aiming for discomfort, this is a low blow.]

[no_light]

[ If he knew more about Poe he would go for low blows, but basically all he knows about him is that he screams nicely. ]

You would be surprised. People are very motivated to secure the well-being of their love interests.

[aprettyflyboy]

[Babe, you haven't heard him scream nicely yet.]

Any possible love interest of mine can more than take care of themselves and obliterate you in the process.

[Poe has a type and that type is people who are lovable badasses.]

[no_light]

[ All your fault for leaving before the party had really started. Not even a kiss and run. Rude. ]

You have no idea how often I have heard such bravado.

They all falter, in the end.

You faltered.

[aprettyflyboy]

[What can I say, I'm not really masochistic so I had to leave.

And way to hit a man when he's down, you had to bring up that?]

They're better than me. And you as well, no doubt.

[no_light]

Everything and everybody breaks when enough pressure is applied in the right places.

[ He's not going to deny it, not as such. ]

[aprettyflyboy]

That includes you too then.

[no_light]

[ Okay and suddenly...this is no longer fun.

More like the exact opposite of fun.

His hand is shaking slightly as he shuts off the console. There won't be another reply, only silence, but that's telling in itself. ]

[aprettyflyboy]

[Poe waits and when nothing else comes after a few minutes he too shuts off the console.

The conversation didn't go as planned and now he's left thinking about about the Finalizer.]
