This was possibly the first time in months that they'd actually had time to do nothing.

They had come to Dantooine for legendary caves that contained the crystals used in lightsabres - according to Rey anyway, and even though she'd shown them a tome on it, they'd all just trusted her on it. She had directed them to the ruins of a Jedi compound from aeons ago that they could use as a landing pad. They probably would have enjoyed the hike across the Khoonda plains if it weren't for the kath hounds and kinrath, the caves themselves not so much as they fought through hordes of kinrath whilst collecting crystals.

Once they'd got their haul Rey had retreated into the ruins to meditate with them - apparently another important aspect, but as they knew nothing about the process they took her word for it - which had left the rest of them at a loose end.

Chewbacca had decided he could have some good fun hunting down kath hounds. R2-D2, BB-8 and D-O had gone exploring as C-3PO fussed over them all. That left Poe and Finn, they'd done a once over of their systems and supplies before deciding that even they couldn't make work today.

They explored the ruins a bit - making sure they went in the opposite direction Rey had so as not to disturb her - before finding what looked like it had once been a training area, and so had set up a variety of blaster targets. What followed had become a good-natured, competitive banter session as they tried to outdo each other.

Poe had called it quits when they nearly caused a landslide of rubble after using a barely stable wall to jump off. Knowing that they were just the wrong side of competitive to remember to tone it down a bit and leaving Finn to continue practising, not that he really needed to. Which was how he found himself lying on the top of the Millennium Falcon, enjoying the sun on a planet that wasn't far too hot for once.

He hadn't realised he'd dozed off until he was snapped out of it when he heard a pointed cough. Blinking his eyes open to adjust to the sunlight he turned to the source, and found Rey halfway up, her feet still in a couple of makeshift footholds and her arms crossed in front of her on the hull. He smiled a greeting and she raised a pointed eyebrow at him. For a moment he was thoroughly confused, before remembering he'd shucked his jacket and undershirt and quickly grabbed the latter to pull it back on. "I bring you to an ancient, sacred Jedi enclave and your response is to strip off?" She teased, pushing herself up the last little bit to join him.

Poe blanched, she hadn't mentioned anything about his place being sacred before. "I... I didn't..." He started trying - and failing - to articulate an appropriate apology but Rey couldn't hold her laughter in any more. "You're messing with me?"

She nodded as she sat down nearby. "Not sacred, just a standard training compound. They maintained it so that they had access to the caves."

"Why not build it nearer then?"

Rey shrugged. "No idea, maybe someone else owned the land? There used to be a whole settlement here, before it got bombed centuries ago. There's been various settlements since, but not around here."

"I didn't know you knew much history."

"I don't, or at least, I didn't. Not before my Jedi training." Rey admitted. "Master Skywalker and General Organa both left dozens of tomes behind, and they include everything from techniques, schematics and history of the order. Some of it sticks."

Poe nodded to himself, that made sense. "So, did you get the crystals you were after?"

Rey nodded. "I've even selected the ones best attuned to my abilities and nature." She explained, and Poe gave her a confused look. "That was why I needed to meditate with them, to find out which ones resonate to me and which ones are best suited to others - because each one has different properties - otherwise it would be like handing a Wookiee bowcaster to someone trained in pistols." Poe figured that made sense as he nodded carefully. "Why did you let me just off and do this if you didn't know why?" Rey asked, clearly curious and confused.

Poe shrugged, managing to resist rubbing the back of his neck. "We trust you, if you say that's what you need to do, then it's what you need to do." A look of surprise flickered over Rey's face before she schooled it back into neutral, and it suddenly occurred to Poe that she thought he'd jumped into a fray she considered under control was because he didn't trust her, not because he was worried. Shit. "We all trust you. I trust you." He suddenly found himself saying. "That incident with the speeder... I was trying to stop you getting hurt, or worse."

Rey was quiet for a long moment. "Yeah, I get that." She admitted quietly, and somehow, Poe knew that she was talking about that same argument.
