CHARACTERS: REY and FINN
DATE: 1/25
WARNINGS: sadness? ? ?? talk of mind violations probably
SUMMARY: Finn confronts Rey about her falling out with Poe, trying to get to the truth.
[ even resigned to it as she is, there is a sadness about rey as she steps out of the inn, and she stops to look back up at the sign as she leaves. her bag is slung over her shoulder, her staff in hand. there is still a flushed fatigue written across her face, but her tears have long since dried. they're far behind her, even if her regret isn't.
not regret over what she had done, though. regret that it had turned out this way. regret that she hadn't known to expect it sooner.
she sighs and drops her head. there was nothing for it. whatever poe told finn, and whatever finn decided from that, she has no control over. all she can do was hope that eventually, they understand. when this mission is resolved peacefully, perhaps.
turning she starts off into the street, heading down towards the edge of town. something catches the edge of her awareness. a presence, one she recognizes. she lifts her head and turns and—
there. in the crowd.
finn.
her mistake lies in lingering. she knows this. it's too soon, the wounds too fresh, and this could easily make things worse. he might even be coming here specifically to ask her to leave. poe had certainly been quick about reaching for extremes. but her bag should make it clear; she has already done that.
she stops when she senses him, freezes when she sees him, but does not go for him. she … doesn't feel like she has the right, not when she has no idea what he's thinking at a time like this. ]

I mean to head towards Sea Clan territory soon with Keith. I'll find him.
[ and in the meantime sleep in the woods but honestly that's fine by her. she was going to do it originally anyway. ]
no subject
Are you taking anyone else with you when you go? I can come along, if you want.
[At least he's aware that Rey and Keith are already well acquainted, so it's not like she's going off to stay with some random person.]
no subject
[ the source of her hesitation isn't a real mystery — she doesn't want to be perceived as drawing him away from poe. she's not some villain. not some rival. not some torturess. and until she's sure that poe can see that, she feels the need to tread lightly with finn. ]
Let me know when you speak with Poe, okay?
[ she bends to pick her bag up. ]
no subject
One thing at a time.]
I will. And if you need anything...
[He trails off. He doesn't need to tell her she can contact him anytime.]
no subject
[ she nods then, her smile spreading. ]
I will.
[ at least, she assumes he means she should call for him, in which case, she will. she lets it hang there without further correction, though. ]
And Finn ... Keep an eye on Poe. I'm afraid that if this conflict he has with Kylo continues, it will only escalate. No matter what he believes of me, I don't want him getting hurt again.
no subject
I'll make sure he doesn't do anything crazy. [Or try, at least.] Don't worry.
[This feels a little like an extended goodbye, and he hates that.]
Speaking of, I should go find him before he potentially...does something crazy.
no subject
Go. I'll see you soon.
[ and in case that isn't enough impetus to send him off, she adjusts her grip on her bag and turns to continue into the crowd. time to go find a tree to live in. ]
