Goo.... [ Poe's impulse is to say good, but he catches himself on the first half of the syllable. This is one of the people from Finn's fire-team. This is one of Finn's former companions. For all he knows, before Finn's defection, Nines could have been in the same emotional category as Slip.
So he just tightens his grip on Finn's arm, a protectively little gesture. It's not like there's much else he can do, except shoot this ghostly figure again and that did a whole lot of good the first time.
Why doesn't this place give them things they can fight? ]
Let's go, Finn. Let's just... walk away. He's not gonna say anything you need to hear.
[ Finn's presence is the only reason Poe suggests it. Left to his own devices he'd probably stand here fighting with a ghost until it got frustrated and found a ghostly way to punch him in the head. Particularly if that ghost isn't one of his own.
There's a voice on the air, though. A voice he knows he recognizes, a voice he's maybe trying to block out. A murmur that says You did this, echoed again and again by more and more people until the whisper billows around them like a light wind.
This time, when Poe's grip tightens on Finn's arm yet again, it's for very different reason. ]
