"No." There was no hesitance in his reply to the offer. "I definitely don't prefer that. Did that once, remember?" he added, his tone lighter for a moment. Attempting to joke in the face of stress and tension. He could do this, he would do this, but his ignoring of those issues even the other man had told him he needed to work through wasn't going to do him any favors.
Poe got serious again when Kylo's hand went to his shoulder and spoke of the possible future. Honestly, the words didn't surprise Poe. Only a fool would expect that stopping the fight now meant it was done forever. He brought his free hand up to cover Kylo's for a moment. "As long as she's safe. That's what matters." And if the two of them were at least united in that, Poe believed she would be safe.
"Well, good. Because I can think of some things I'd rather not see destroyed." Selfishly, his home planet of course, but really most of the galaxy was a good place to start. Sure, there were some rotten places, but that didn't mean they needed to be destroyed. But while they were speaking of destruction...
"So I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess most of your people aren't going to like this. Seeing as I've blown up a few of your big toys."
