[as soon as poe gets a free minute to dedicate to talking to rey, he's knocking on the door to her room and calling out] Hey Rey, it's Poe. You got a minute?

[Rey was in the middle of trying to rebuild her staff into something a bit more structurally stable and balanced, a few boxes of assorted scraps stored in one corner of her place.

As soon as she hears Poe she sets it all aside andgets up to open the door for him, greeting him with a hug. Sorry Poe those are going to be pretty common now. When she lets go she glances out past him before moving against the door to hold it open. Currently he is the only one she would let in.]

Of course. Come in.

[wow there is no need to apologize HE IS INTO THE HUGS. he bear hugs her back before taking a step inside. he takes a glance around but doesn't say anything until the door is closed, at which point — ]

I know you said you spent your whole life on Jakku, I'm just wondering — how much First Order stuff did you see out there? You know, holos? Anything?

[findingbalance]

Posters and word of mouth, mainly. We didn't get many holos, and when we did, I didn't often watch them.

[Hugs are just going to be a thing with them now, clearly. She takes a seat on the edge of a chair when he comes in, picking one of the gadgets she's been tinkering with back up.]

Why?

[followhim]

[he leans against the side of her sofa, but doesn't sit yet.] There was a person who used to show up in the holos sometimes. Armitage Hux. I can't be sure, but I think he's here. I know it sounds crazy, but if you and me made it through the portal, why not him?

[findingbalance]

I think the portal makes almost anyone being here possible. [She's not going to make the implications but, well, they did both think Poe was dead, and if the portal could bring the dead back, it could bring just about anyone, couldn't it?]

Is he someone important? [She assumes as much, at least. The name Hux rings a vague bell of familiarity, like she must have heard it at some point. But there's only two people one person she directly knew of from the First Order.]

Does he wear a mask? [Because she'd like to give him a swift kick in the groin if so, or at least know to head far in the opposite direction.]

[followhim]

Yeah, a leading member. I don't think he ever wore a mask. [his mouth slants to one side while he tries to assemble the best way to describe hux] Tall, red hair, pale, always looks kind of mad about something. He's going by Aran around here, if the person I met is him.

And if it is ... he's not in a position to do anything to us, for now. But things could change. And I want to be ready.
