[her words are accompanied with a warm feeling of affection, and whatever the mental equivalent of a smile feels like. She's not nor has she ever been the type to fawn over romantic relationships, or even place priority on them before now, but that future with Han is one of few things she doesn't want to change about the future.]
[Ezra somehow manages to convey the impression of blowing out a breath. He's still not sure he approves of Han calling her his woman, but anyone who can make Leia feel warm and smiley like that...
Well.]
Alright, I guess I won't bug him about that, then.
So, you're not married yet, but you know you will be? Then you met someone who knows you in the future?
[Maybe, eventually, someday she'll be more comfortable to want to talk about it. Poe was mostly curious to hear her opinions about her son. How does she truly think about him? There isn't much that can be done when going back didn't mean a difference. Yet, Poe still thinks that it's a wasted opportunity being given to him. That he could be with his parents in a space together.]
You're welcome.
[He lifts an eyebrow.]
I'm not hearing Darth Vader, so, I'll judge what caution to use. If he plans on causing any trouble I'll step in. Even if it's dangerous... but, {He glances down at the ground before back over to Leia.] I have been trying to use the dunamis more. At least I can try to throw the element of surprise into it.
Simply because he's not wearing a mask doesn't mean he's not Darth Vader.
[Because as far as Leia cares, Anakin is, was, and always will be Darth Vader. There's no proving to her that he isn't a danger or that she should trust him.]
I can't tell you what to do, but if you're inclined to do something like that, think of your own safety while you assess the situation. I don't want you getting hurt.
[Or worse. But she doesn't want to mention that, because she doesn't want to think about it. And she knows Poe is fully aware of what dark side Force users are capable of.]
No there's only one man that walks around wearing a mask.
[Leia might catch a glimpse of a different black mask along with it being with a rather tall figure that she'll notice as Kylo Ren. Poe seems to be rather grumpy by that fact. Even if it was particle for him to wear it the last time he ran into the other.]
I know the risks that can happen, Leia. I've gotten hurt enough times here already by other people. If Anakin does anything, he'll be more considered as Darth Vader. As long as there is some light to him, there has to be some hope.
[There's the barest hint of a frown at that comment because Poe doesn't have to say who he's talking about for Leia to know what he's hinting at. She'd seen Ben in his helmet, and it wasn't a memory she liked to remember. It was, after all, when Ben had shared what he did to Han.]
That's where we'll have to differ, then. I've made my opinion on him known, and nothing I've seen has proven otherwise to me.
[Because she doesn't think there is light to him. Even here, even now. None of that light made itself known to Leia, so she has no reason to trust its existence.]
[He hadn't known how Kylo Ren shared that information about Han. Poe just knew that he's encountered the other plenty of times in that matter. Last year, he had helped Kylo Ren pick out a hair clip when he wasn't wearing the helmet. He hadn't even known it was him.]
You can have your opinion. I'll have my own opinions too. As for Anakin, he hasn't done anything wrong here nor has he wanted to inflict fear on to others. Or even harm them for information. Yet, Kylo Ren has plenty of people to help him towards the light if needed. We can at least keep Anakin from turning fully while he's here. Isn't that at least enough?
[She may not want to spread it around too much after getting the word of other Jedi to help with this, but she can't keep silent with Poe assuming Anakin hasn't done anything wrong. He's a danger, he'd never be anything but a danger, and trusting him to behave is a mistake.]
He's already attacked an old friend of mine who arrived recently, as well as Obi-Wan Kenobi.
[Or so she's heard from Qui-Gon, at least.]
Don't make the mistake of thinking he's done nothing wrong. If Kylo Ren is dangerous enough to--rightfully--warrant continued supervision, then Anakin Skywalker should be extended the same treatment.
[Because she won't pretend that, while Ben had been kind of behaving lately, there wasn't reason for him to be under supervision and that the general public's attitude toward him wasn't unwarranted.]

[she does feel it, and there's a similar emotion matching that from Leia's side briefly, but she tamps it down quickly.]
We do. But evidently we didn't locate all remnants of the Empire. I don't know much about how it came to be, but when we return, I don't intend to let it happen.
[so, today some guy asked leia out on a date over the amulets, only for everyone to see, and han is Not Happy. well, he's a little happy with the way the guy was immediately intimidated by him, but the scenario as a whole is annoying to him. he paces around the kitchen, grumbling irritably and thinking more than is healthy about the drawing larry showed over the amulet. where does he get off anyway, dedicating that amount of time to wooing han's...you know...the girl he's gonna spend his whole life with??
suddenly remembering that leia is home, he changes pace and stalks into the living room, the sight of her existing calmly in their house setting him off again when it would probably settle a rational person.]
Can you believe this guy?? You saw that, right?
[he even gestures to his head, presumably to make that statement more clear and to insinuate that he's talking about a telepathic message and not, like, something that happened just now in the kitchen or something.]
[This time, at least, unlike the letter from Ezra, Leia knows what Han is going on about. But that doesn't mean she doesn't think his reaction is a bit much. She raises an eyebrow, not really bothering to move from where she's sitting to meet him, but she does shift her legs so that he can sit down if he wants to.]
I did. And I told him I'm taken. I don't think it's as big a deal as you're making it out to be.
