[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.

[realists]

You underestimate my skill at leaving conversations

Do you think we're friends because [ because they died, together, clinging to the one good thing left in the galaxy ]

Or would we have been friends anyway?

[evasives]

That will not stop others from trying to find you again after you walk away.

[ oh. that's the underlying cusp of the issue then. ]

I like to think we would have been friends anyway. We are here again together, aren't we?

[realists]

Circumstance doesn't seem like a reason for friendship

[evasives]

I am fairly certain all friendships start from some kind of circumstance.

People have to meet somehow for it to begin.

[realists]

I guess

[evasives]

Does it matter that much, how it started?

[realists]

Doesn't it? We didn't exactly treat each other kindly

[evasives]

Why are you trying to deconstruct us?
