"What were you thinking!?"

"What was I thinking?" Rey demanded incredulously. "What were you thinking!?"

Poe narrowed his eyes at the young Jedi in front of him. The defiant, fiesty woman who was demanding he explain why he'd - admittedly, but not out loud - done something incredibly stupid to save their lives. "I asked first." He decided stubbornness was his best bet at surviving this encounter.

Rey set her jaw, they had had this conversation before. More times than she could count. It always started the same way, each demanding the other explain themselves and stubbornly refusing to be the one to give ground first. "You destroyed our speeder!" Poe briefly glanced at the wreckage. "And C-3 lost an arm!"

"Oh, that's quite all right, once I find it it's an easy matter to reattach it." C-3PO interjected.

"What was I supposed to do? Watch from the sidelines as you jumped into a fray of sith rebels?"

"Yes!" Rey retorted. "I knew what I was doing, and it was under control until you swept in!"

"Oh, really?" Poe challenged, reaching to grab one of her arms so he could turn it to show the blaster marks there. "This is under control?"

Rey yanked her arm back. "They're just grazes, and yes." She added. "At least I had the situation contained until you split my attention!"

"We can handle ourselves." Poe retorted as Rey indicated to the still smoking speeder, that BB-8 and Chewbacca were trying to salvage. Poe knew she kinda had a point there, but he wasn't going to admit that, ever. "We're still alive, aren't we?"

"So that's a good enough excuse for you but not me?" Rey demanded. "You hypocritical gammorean - !"

"Rey!" Finn suddenly cut in from where he and R2-D2 had been searching for C-3PO's arm. If it had got to insults then he needed to step in, though he wasn't going to lie he was kind of grateful it wasn't him in the firing line for once. Rey and Poe turned to him and he almost bolted at the look in their eyes. Chewbacca roared with laughter. "Please can you help us look for C-3PO's arm, and Poe, help Chewy with the speeder." There was a whirling, clicking noise. "And BB-8, sorry buddy."

Poe and Rey turned back to each other, as if to say this wasn't over, before parting ways to go and help rather than arguing.
