done and done you get the indian i'll get something for desert just order whatever - all of it is good and i can never remember the names of things anyway

[There's a pause before the next text, because he is trolling through google on his phone, and:]

.... apparently ice cream cakes exist? yay or nay

YAY
ice cream cakes are so good
especially the ones with the crunchy chocolate stuff between the layers
you'll see

okay i am ordering
chicken shahi korma
beef curry
lamb biryani
some bread i think
do you think that's enough???

maybe one more dish

we can always eat the left over later

and alright, ice cream cake with crunchy chocolate stuff coming up

yessssssssss

while we're waiting for the food
can i ask you another question???
it's kind of personal

yeah, of course shoot

so is finn your boyfriend????

[.........]

haha you'd have to ask him we're both from the same place and time

[Because that was definitely an answer to her question?]

[uhhhhhhh.]

i know you are
there's lots of people from home I wouldn't share a room with though

it's not like i mind
im from georgia but not THAT part of georgia

[There's a pause before he sends the next text, but - since she lives with them, she's probably going to hear it at some point.]

i sleep badly get bad nightmares sometimes he makes sure i don't hurt myself

[Still not an answer, Poe.]

[it's a really good redirection, though. excellent work, poe. ]

oh
i get that
im sorry

it's alright probably better to tell you, wouldn't want you to worry

yeah
it's okay
sometimes i do too

was it bad where you came from???

well if you're having a bad night, let me know we'll just watch movies or something instead it's - relative. the galaxy i came from was a hell of a lot bigger than just one planets. some places? like where i grew up? paradise. but we both came from a war and no matter how beautiful a place is war leaves scars

sure :o)
ive missed movies
i forgot how loud tv gets

yeah
i think i know what you mean

what planet were you from???
not earth, right????

Earth doesn't even exist where I'm from. At least I don't think so - none of the stars here are the same.

I'm from a place called Yavin 4. It's a moon, technically. The entire thing is covered in jungle, from pole to pole.

you're the second person i've met who said that
i've never heard of yavin 4 so if your universe or dimension or whatever has an earth it's probably REALLY far away
yavin 4 sounds really pretty though

well finn and i aren't the only ones from our galaxy. i lost count, somewhere.

which actually leads me to a point i should have made a while ago: just because they're from our galaxy does not mean you can trust them, okay? Unless it's Bodhi, Cassian, Kaytoo, or Leia, make sure to tell me if any of them show up around the house or start hassling you, alright? They might be fine, but. There are some bad people here, and I don't want you to get caught up in this by accident.

it is really pretty

you know what's weird? i found a place on earth that basically looks exactly like it. it's called guatemala. i'm used to planets looking similar before, but yeah, it is almost uncanny

i know about stranger danger poe
don't worry

[...On the other hand, after the hospital, she can't deny that she wouldn't mind getting a thumbs-up or thumbs-down from somebody she trusts. And she's pretty close to positive she can trust Poe.]

is padme from your galaxy???
she's the other one i talked to

so you lived in the rainforest :o)
i've never been to guatemala but the pictures are so pretty

this isn't so much stranger danger as "beth these people literally committed genocide and would kill you in a heart beat if they thought it would get to me"

padme is, yeah. she's good, i think, but her husband is uh you can trust padme but be careful

Yeah, i guess. never really thought of it like that because it just was how Yavin was. and it looks gorgeous, right? kind of want to go

we had bad people at home, too
don't worry i'll be careful

what's wrong with her husband???

you should!
and take me :o) i've never been outside america
except for coming here i guess
but we're still in america just a different one

at the moment? nothing. but in his future... look, i promised i would give the guy a second chance so i'm not going to spout a bunch of shit to bias you. he might turn out fine, here. just, you know. be careful.

haha, done

i was talking to bodhi about it, too. maybe we just all just go on one big family roadtrip or something

okay
and if you meet anybody who calls himself the governor
or like
has the last name gorman or lerner
tell me right away okay????
your galaxy isn't the only one with bad people in it
they don't deserve second chances

that would be awesome
you can introduce me to your friends

duly noted

there's a gun, in the house. finn has it. it is absolutely only a last resort, but it has someone's powers tied into it, so though it's no where near the blasters we have back home, it'll shoot a bullet that will freeze a target completely

like i said absolutely last resort - if your guy shows up or ours do, run first.

but i am going to get away from this conversation now before you decide i'm a paranoid grand father or something

okay don't tell finn but

you know anything about this holiday called christmas?

it sounds like life day. i thought i'd throw a party, on the night before. for all our friends. then you and him and i can just chill and have a proper life day the next day i guess but i figured you could meet them all at the party?

but don't tell finn he's never had a proper life day back home so i want it to be a surprise

i know how to shoot don't worry

[And this time, it's not even sarcastic! Though who knows if that'll come through in text.]

we should probably have more than one gun you know
i'll get one later

life day is the one they celebrate on kashyyyyyk right????

[(Look, she's not flipping back to a different conversation just to look up how many "Y"s it was.]

i can keep a secret :o)
especially a fun one
so what do you do on a proper life day?????

i want to be surprised by that, but every tiny thing i hear about your home just makes this make sense

just make sure anything we have is secure last thing i want is someone breaking in and then finding exactly what they need to kill us though to be fair most of the people who want to kill me, at least, really don't need a gun so i don't know why i'm worried

yeah that's right

technically it's a wookie holiday but a lot of families that fought in the rebellion just sort of picked it up, after so there aren't a lot of particular traditions, exactly. mostly just a lot of food and the people you love.

let's just say they didn't appreciate that kind of thing, in the organisation he was brought up in but now he's with us so it's time to celebrate
