WHO: Poe Dameron and Rey
WHAT: They're going to have a talk about a certain someone
WHEN: In the afternoon after his encounter with Kylo Ren
WHERE: The Gallows
NOTES: N/A

After encountering Kylo Ren the late morning and hearing something surprising to him. Poe couldn't shake the frustrated feelings away. The Gallows seemed to be the safest bet to linger around. He found a few practice dummies that were padded enough to throw a few punches at along with kicks. Any time he had been frustrated in the past doing these particular exercises helped. He would find himself in the work out area of the base on D’Qar in a similar way. BB-8 was always a good listener when he was in these moods. It helped to clear his mind or put it onto the path he needed to go. Right now, he didn't truly have anyone that could come close. Sometimes he needed to tell everything to someone maybe someday he’ll find the person here. Rey is someone he’s trying to get to know yet. He knows that he can trust her, even if things become complicated. The people he met wouldn't fully understand and he wouldn't bother them with it. If anything he’s hoping he can punch his frustrations out.

His punches hit harder than intended but it’s helping with every connection on the dummy. There’s a round of quick jabs before giving it a sidekick. Poe isn't sure for how long he’s been at it, but all of his focus is on the hits. It’s the same rotation before he changes it up slightly, putting in low hits with a few high ones.

He finally takes a minute to catch his breath after giving the dummy a few more swift kicks. The words of what Kylo Ren told him still echoing. The son of Leia and Han. Poe could only feel that slight doubt forming in the pit of his gut. It wasn't the first time he has felt these things. But the question floating in his mind would not be answered. He would have to continue moving forward. Poe wipes off the building sweat from his forehead before getting back into position in front of the dummy.

She presses her lips together, picking at the skin on the side of one of her fingers as she tries to think of a delicate way to broach the subject of what exactly Poe had walked in on. He knew what he'd seen, of course. Her pushed up on her desk with Ben's mouth on hers. No way of brushing that off as something unimportant, or even something that had happened unwarranted.

She doesn't want to lie, anyway. Not about this.

"You know what. Him and I, being involved with one-another. I don't want you thinking I've turned to the dark side because of him. It's more the opposite."

He watches her keeping his facial expression neutral. Poe wanted to hear what she may have to say about what exactly it was he walked in on. They could have been dating for a while. There truthfully was no real reason to keep them apart. He doesn't exactly approve but he can't control human nature. Things happen and people get together for one reason or another.

Poe let's out a small puff of air as if being relieved over her being honest.

"I'll tell you what I told him. I trust you. My thoughts never went to you going dark side because of what I had seen. If you're involved, what can I do exactly about it?" There's a shrug while his eyes go downward staring at the ground. "I may never need to understand why you both are. We're not back at home. Things are different here."

He lifts his head while looking at her while sucking in his bottom lip a bit. "I don't particularly trust him. But," A small pause as he tilts his head a bit. "What do you mean by the opposite?"

"He's conflicted. There's good in him, and this place... being away from the First Order has been good for him. Being free of Snoke's influence has been good for him." She doesn't know what awaits them in their own world, but she knows that one way or another, him being free of Snoke will be nothing but good for him.

"I think he was starting to turn back towards the light, even back in our own universe. I'm not the one who killed Snoke, despite what the reports said. He killed him and saved my life."
