You step out into a hangar, half sheltered, but open to the air along one side. The sky is blue, and in the distance there's scattered chatter from resistance members passing by as Poe and BB-8 work. Poe's perched atop the broken wing of his X-wing, scorch marks on her belly suggesting they'd recently come out of a tough scrape.

Poe's still half in his flight suit, the upper half tied round his waist, his old jacket sitting off to the side, draped over a ladder rung with care. There's scattered tools and wires to navigate, a makeshift workbench set up with his helmet and blaster abandoned there, next to his data pad which flashes at him with some unread message, though Poe seems to be pointedly ignoring it. Looking quite out of place, there's a tooka doll, not the sort of sentiment one might associate with Poe, and beside it, and old model of an A-Wing.

Comments

Poe gives a small smile, and Cloud's words seem to resonate with him.

"...there's a rank badge on the desk there, it'll open the door for you," he offers, nodding back to the sealed doors he'd entered through.

[backoff]

Cloud's eyebrows knit in the center at that statement of the badge being in the desk. He's confused and keeps his attention on Poe.

"Are you sure that's how this works?" He's questioning it a little bit.

[happybeeps]

"I'm sure," he promises, "It'll open. Badge wasn't there a moment ago. It is now." Cloud's helped him. Poe's gotten what he needs out of this, even if it's taken him by surprise.

[backoff]

Cloud takes a look towards the blue skies of this room as he heads over to the desk. "You have a nice view here." He's hesitant on picking up the badge right away but he does it anyway.

Besides everyone has memories they would rather keep to themselves. Cloud looks back over at Poe before trying the badge on the door.

"It is, isn't it?" Poe misses it. He wants to hang on to it a little bit longer.

The door slides open as promised and Poe flashes him a smile. "Thanks for the talk."

[backoff]

Cloud tilts his head at the sliding door not quite expecting it. He gives Poe a slow nod while smiling a little. "Come find me if you ever need something."

He gives a two finger wave before going to step out the door.
