( video - un: blacksquadron ) all the stars are laying at our feet
[ the video clicks on to a soft beep that ends in a worried trill, the sound mechanical and still managing to seem hushed. for a moment, the camera swings around, then it steadies, showing poe dameron in workout gear, hands and ankles taped, pummeling a punching bag. it's clear he knows what he's doing. it's equally clear that he's unhappy about something.
poe is clearly unaware of the video; this is bb-8's way of trying to get poe some company and comfort. there's a series of beeps that indicates as much, to anyone who understands binary.
eventually, poe stops, steadying the bag (and himself) and then glances at bb-8 -- and the comms device bb-8 is still pointing at him. poe runs a hand through his hair. ]
What're you doing that for, BB?
[ another series of noises from bb, i'm worried and maybe you shouldn't be alone right now. poe shakes his head, crossing the distance to bb-8 and holds out a hand. ] I'm all right, buddy. Give that here.
[ when bb-8 does, the video cuts off. ]

And you understand what he's saying?
[because so far as Linneus can tell, he just trills and whistles - albeit endearing trills and whistles.]

[ bb-8 whistles his confirmation. ]

Ah, I see. So you... understand, but don't speak each other's languages?
[he can see how that works, though it's strange]
I never really learned any other languages, myself. But then, there was little need for them.

I see. Best not to, then.
Do all droids help with flying, then?

[the hesitation is his struggling with how to put it. He's never heard of anything like that before - even medical care from humans where he came from is not that advanced, compared to things he has seen here.]
And translations? They must be very well-read...

[ buddy, your world sounds very backwater -- but poe's not going to think less of it for that reason. ]
no subject
[because, yes, his world was pretty backward compared to a lot of the technology everyone else seems to have lived with... but he can't keep pestering them with silly questions about things few people seem to be fazed by]
Have you settled for the time being?
no subject
Yeah, I’m sticking around Wyver for the time being. And you?
no subject
[harder than it sounds, after all the looting, but he isn't going to bring that up]
But it's colder here than in the south - and to what I am used to. I'm having to learn to adapt to the chill...!

[ poe hasn't been back to olympia, so he hasn't seen any snow on this planet yet. ]
That's great.

As I say, the cold is a little unfamiliar for me, but with a fire built it's quite comfortable.

[ah, but Poe doesn't need to know all of this. A light shake of his head]
But I'm settled, now. Everything is quite all right.
