[She doesn't appreciate the tone Poe's using, taking it to be him attempting to lecture her on listening to others, about the subject of their earlier conversation in particular. Because she has no reason to listen to anyone saying Anakin can't be, won't be, and isn't a danger, it's not even just her bias talking. Anakin himself has already proven it, and the people who were still saying that sort of thing were the ones who needed to listen.

She looks Poe over coolly once more, raising her chin slightly as she does so.]

Then perhaps you should heed your own advice and listen to what I've been telling you. I don't want to see you injured, or worse.

The person I listen to the most is you. It's what I've been trying to say. Just in a more of a less direct kind of way, since it's a you in the future. Leia, if I wanted to be quite frank with you, and I will be now. Your words mean a lot. I'm not about to brush them off to the wayside. I've been through worse already. I'm willing to learn what else you may be able to show me. If you're willing to do the same.

[He wasn't about to lie about that but he's not about to go into Ren talks either. Ren can stay far into the corner right now. This was about Leia.]

But if there's trouble I can't help it. I can't sit and do nothing. If I have to stay on the sidelines... I'll figure out another way to help or hopefully solve the solution without fighting in the first place.

[She's glad, at least, that someone besides Han and Luke is willing to listen to her on this. Well, Qui-Gon listened, too, but not until later on. But commenting on it isn't something she wants to do. Instead, her posture relaxes slightly, softening and seeming more open than before.]

I respect that, Poe, so long as you promise me you won't risk your personal safety for this.
