[ It would have been almost impossible to see anything without BB-8's help, the interior of the hanger is only lit in patches with pale light, but Poe would have recognized this silhouette anywhere. Hell, he's pretty sure he would have known it just from reaching out to touch it, which is exactly what he's planning to do when Gwen shakes him out of that almost trance-like state. She looks as exuberant as he feels, probably mirroring the look on his own face too, and somehow just hearing her say what he already knows out loud makes him feel another overwhelming rush of emotion. It would have been one thing to find any ship from home at all, just something that's not completely alien to him would have been something, for it to be his own is a whole other level. It's more than he would have dared to hope for, given the way the last few months have gone for him.

As Gwen comes back toward him he's just going to wrap her up in his arms, nearly spinning her around with a laugh that he just can't keep in. It would have been a lot more than that if he wasn't so eager to actually get into it, but as it is he'll still get in a quick kiss on her lips. ]


Yeah, it's mine.

[ Once he does let go of her he's immediately turning back to it, running his hands along the underside of the x-wing's nose, feeling his way along panels still sporting scorch marks from its last battle, across a section that should have a basic survival kit which might also prove useful, until he gets to a ladder and the control panel that's within an arm's reach of it. BB-8 is already in position underneath, trilling excitedly as he waits to be lifted up into it, seemingly just as eager as Poe is to give the ship a thorough inspection. The exterior looks to be intact, but it's impossible to tell just by glancing at it if it's actually in ny kind of shape to fly.

But they'll get it there, between the two of them. They always do. ]


It's supposed to be orange and black, but you know, I was kind of busy and we were running low on supplies. [ The lights flicker on just as they're supposed to, which is a relief. He was almost worried that it wouldn't budge at all, but he's already on his way up the ladder as the top swings open. He leans over the side, scanning over the panels briefly before shooting Gwen another grin. ] You didn't think I was exaggerating about the whole pilot thing, did you?

[ He's teasing, clearly, he knows it's one thing to hear that he's a General and a pilot and from an entirely different galaxy, and another to actually see that in person. Even if she didn't already know about him before they technically met, he doesn't think she would have doubted him. ]
