Everything I'm good at I learned from the First Order. Poe shot at me just like every other stormtrooper on Jakku before we met. If I hadn't needed him to get off the ship when I decided to defect, he probably never would have trusted me at all. He makes kneejerk decisions and can be really stubborn.
