The mention of Hux definitely helped to wake him up. A reminder of where he was, what -- and who -- he would now have to deal with. Poe frowned a little as he listened, somewhat feeling like there was more to it than how simple Kylo made it sound. "He's going to be a constant problem, isn't he?" Call it a hunch, mixed with Poe's own experiences in the military. Even without his prior antagonizing of Hux they were unlikely to get along. That said, he would make an effort not to make things worse than they had to be. At least, he would try.

Combing his fingers through his hair to tame it down, his mind shifted gears when Kylo noticed the small mess he had forgotten to clean up. "Yeah, didn't realize I did." he replied, lightly shrugging a shoulder as if it were nothing. He wasn't sure what to make of the look Kylo gave him. "I just let them know a cease fire was arranged. Told Finn and Rey to look after Leia and keep her safe. That keeping her safe was what mattered. And I told them not to worry about me, that it was my decision." It would have been easy to paint otherwise but Poe had no reason to. Almost more than that, he didn't want his friends thinking that he'd been forced into this. A rumor was inevitable of course, that he'd been mind tricked into going with Kylo or something similar, but such a rumor wouldn't start with him.

"That was all that really needed to be said so afterward I broke it. I don't need it anymore." he added as he looked up at Kylo. He wasn't going back to the Resistance. He knew that the moment he took the other man's hand.
