It is apparently connected to your supposed social life.

[realists]

Nicky is my friend, ask him yourself.

[evasives]

I believe that. I am just questioning your use of active.

[realists]

It's subjective

[evasives]

Fair.

So what qualifies as active for you?

[realists]

I get to choose who I talk to, instead of being forced to listen to my cellmate telling me how she is going to murder me in my sleep.

That isn't the point!

The person from after us, did you talk to them about the rebellion?

[evasives]

All right, that is reasonable sociability in comparison. But you brought it up in the first place.

No. He was from Tatooine and did not seem to know a lot about the Rebellion so much as the end of the Empire.

[realists]

We won

[evasives]

That was the implication I got too, if not so directly.

It still feels hard to wrap my head around.

[realists]

Yeah

[ it's fine, it's fine, there is no existential crisis to be had ]

[evasives]

Are you okay?

[realists]

Yeah

I mean that makes it worth it, right?

[evasives]

I hope it does.

But it is hard to process.

[realists]

Yeah

[ apparently her vocabulary has broken ]

[evasives]

You are not convincing me you are okay.

[realists]

As if you wouldn't be equally concerned should I suddenly become loquacious

[ SHE CAN BE EVASIVE TOO ]

[evasives]

You are right, I would be concerned for both.

[ he is concerned and she has to deal with it. ]

[realists]

I didn't go there wanting to die and I guess not knowing meant I didn't have to think about it

They got the plans which means we did the right thing

[ how can she be upset about having died when it helped free the galaxy? it seems inordinately selfish to wish they had a chance when it would mean condemning the galaxy. ]

[evasives]

I do not think any of us went there wanting to die.

Even if it lead to the Rebellion's success, we can know it was the right thing and still have...

Complicated feelings.

[ he hadn't ever really expected to see a post-empire galaxy, but being confronted with stories of what it might be like is still A Lot. ]

[realists]

I'm not great with feelings

[evasives]

Me neither.

I have been trying not to think about our galaxy much.

[realists]

Yeah

But I keep meeting people that remind me of it

[evasives]

It was much easier speaking with the person from the past. Not a reminder.

[realists]

Maybe we can just ignore them

[ wishful thinking as jyn is 100% sure poe would hunt her down if she tried, that man is so earnest. ]

[evasives]

That might be impossible on a ship like this.

And depending on their nature as people.
