Surprise! Poe hates it. He hates being helpless. He hates not doing anything. He hates that he's been here and things have somehow moved forward anyway, that he can't know. He wants to say he's already torturing himself, but he's not comfortable enough with her to admit that. Doesn't mean it's not written all over his face.
He looks away, hissing under his breath, "Damn it."
Slowly, finally, he looks back at her and just... nods, once. It's as close as he can get to admitting that she's right and he'll abide by it. Still--there's one more question. There's one more thing he's got to take the chance at finding out.
"Why'd you call me Captain?" He doesn't have a lot of hope that she'll answer. (But, but, but.) He can't not try.
