( 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. ]

Snow?

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

That's great.

It was. Unfortunate that a good deal of it ended up inside of my home, but there are worse things to clean up.

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

So long as it didn't end up melting on some carpet and soaking it, I guess.

[inaurare]

Luckily it stayed cold enough the snow didn't melt too much and I could shovel the worst of it outside. The damage isn't too severe...

[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.

I'm glad to hear it, buddy.
