As they continued the walk to the ship Poe did his best to ignore any of the little things nagging at his mind. This wasn't a time to doubt himself. Maybe it was an uncomfortable decision and one that certain people wouldn't understand, but he knew that it was the right one. Even without the bond that had developed between himself and Kylo, if giving himself up would save Leia and the rest of the Resistance? Yeah, he'd do it. What was one life for the greater good?
Of course, it went without saying that he was thankful this wasn't a situation of choosing death for himself in order to save those he cared about.
The mention of General Hux had a small smirk curling Poe's lips as well. "Yeah, after that little prank above D'Qar I don't imagine he's in my fanclub." Following Kylo onboard, the background stress that was trying to get his attention gradually faded away, as stresses tended to always do when he was on a ship. There were few places Poe felt as comfortable as he did on a ship, even it was one unfamiliar to him.
He almost moved for the pilot's seat out of habit but caught himself about the same time Kylo gestured. Poe settled in without hesitation, glancing around at the ship's interior and taking mental notes. "I might not be the best student, been a while since anyone's tried to teach me anything." he remarked half-jokingly. His gaze shifted back over to Kylo though at the final words. That sounded... serious. But the decision to come with Kylo at all was serious, so really, what was one more level of depth? It wasn't as if a similar topic hadn't been breached in one of their last conversations.
"Well, I guess that's kind of what this has all been building toward, hasn't it? You, me..." Poe made a vague gesture with one hand. Thinking about it made him feel a different sort of nerves, but it didn't change his decision. "I suppose I better hope I don't wear out my welcome then and have you change your mind."
