You don't have to ask, man.

[ he breathes out, long. he knows better than anyone that losing people is never so easily dulled, but he doesn't address it. they're both soldiers. it can go unspoken and still be there. ]

You wanna stay for a couple of days? You can take my room - I'll sleep in one of the dog's trailers.

I am not taking your room during your dating show, Owain. What if one of those dicks decides to try and come woo you in the night and I'm there instead?

It's fine. You've got camera crew there, right? I'll bunk with them.

[shadowglitter]

[ he laughs at "one of those dicks", tries not to let it warm him. fails, and so notably. the only reason this doesn't jump straight into hopeless, inappropriate flirting is because poe's going through something and it still has his focus. ]

It's the only place on the island without a camera... but if you don't mind getting footage of yourself snoring plastered all over native TV again, stay wherever you want.

[ silence, for a moment. ]

I'm really sorry. You of all people don't deserve loss.

[flightforfreedom]

Even your camera crew? Man. Poor guys. But it's fine. Pretty sure I might cause a national disturbance if I slept in your room. I still get hate mail. [He also got a lot of people sending him pictures of their genitalia, or drawings of him and Odin except one of them usually has two dicks. Fans are fucked up.]

[He lets out a breath.]

... Really not about what I deserve or not.

He deserved peace here a hell of a lot more than I do.

[shadowglitter]

[ he doesn't comment, but the guilt is pretty god damn tangible in his voice. fuck. he gets hate mail? fuck. ]

Yup. They have a little web series. We hate Debra. Fast forward any scene with her in it.

[ still dwelling on the hate mail. he moves on. ]

I can feel bad for both of you. [ it's quiet. ] Being ported away affects everyone. You've gotta be able to embrace the hurt without feeling guilty. Even if it's just with me.

[flightforfreedom]

If I embraced the hurt every time someone died or got ported out that would be the only thing I'd ever think about.

Mostly I'm just worried about Kay and Bodhi.

[shadowglitter]

It's-- just. Dealing with things when they happen-- it's about processing it so you don't blow up all at once. Later. So I just...

Nevermind. What the fuck do I know about moving on?

[ he scrubs at his eyes. ]

Goes without saying, but they can leave the island at any time, if you wanna take them home. If they wanna go, I mean. Eli too, maybe? [ he doesn't know what his and cassian's relationship was like, or if they even had one, but he seems pretty close to bodhi, so. stands to reason. ]

[flightforfreedom]

Nah. They look like they're having a good time. I don't want to ruin the party, but... probably should give them a heads up anyway. Kay likely already knows, because of the trackers, but still.

[He frowns to himself.]

I don't really know if Eli and Cass were friends.

... Shit, I should know that...
