poeticforce: (is this what darkness feels like)
Poe Dameron. ([personal profile] poeticforce) wrote 2021-05-16 01:31 am (UTC)

He was really starting to get tired of this Jedi constantly countering his words, acting like she knew him, like she knew what he would or wouldn't do. A part of him, the new part, almost could understand why the Sith had said she was so dangerous and why they seemed so determined to want her to suffer. Poe grit his teeth and might have had a snappy remark to fire back if his rifle wasn't suddenly being ripped away from his hands.

The action makes him stumble forward slightly since he wasn't expecting it, a hand reflexively reaching after the rifle as if he might be able to snatch it back though he only reaches normally. He loses sight of exactly where it ends up landing. That was fine, he could retrieve it after he's done dealing with her, assuming he had the time for it, as it was more important to keep as much of his attention as he could focused on her. His gaze did flicker the direction her lightsaber had gone, but then focused squarely on her.

Hand-to-hand combat seemed like a terrible idea with a Jedi. It was something he was trained in however, and that he felt confident in if it came to that. But for now that would sit as a last option, if a swift escape from the situation didn't seem possible and things shifted pointedly into the life-or-death category. His orders weren't to harm her, certainly not to kill her (somehow he knew the Sith would be upset if he unintentionally robbed them of that), but the whole situation had gone sideways rather quickly and now... well...

"For someone who agreed to be taken prisoner, you're not being very cooperative, Jedi." he stated with mild aggravation as he straightened, holding his ground but not making to approach her — or the direction of their weapons — at least not for the moment.
