[Considering the previous conversation, Leia does not match the smile he offers. Instead, she tilts her head, lifting her chin as she looks him over.
He's not wrong about thinking it a good idea to join in on the traditions here, and she does consider Poe a friend, in some sense. But the more he brings up "not always agreeing on certain things," the worse her mood gets. Not enough to lose her composure and snap at him, but certainly enough to act less like her actual self, and more like the sort of facade she would put on to hide herself and her true feelings.]
Because you don't seem to understand, even now, Poe: this is not an issue we can calmly discuss as if it doesn't affect us. This is not a matter of debate, or agreeing or disagreeing with one another. The fact of the matter is he's dangerous--to us, to the other otherworlders, and to the natives of this world--and this is not just a perspective I have. It's a fact, and it's supported by his own behavior.
You can choose to believe otherwise if that suits you, but you and anyone else blindly ignoring these warning signs are mistaken if that's what you choose. I consider you a friend, as well, but stating that in the midst of an argument does not change my viewpoint.
