A place not unlike the moon, though not poisonous to our health. I am hoping the next has a warm climate - maybe somewhere we can relax for a change and stretch our legs.

[She's envisioning a beach or even the vast grass plains of Vaes Dothrak, not that she ever planned to go back there. As long as it wasn't a desert she was fine. The las thing she needed was to fight to find shelter with her crew.]

[helluva_pilot]

Yeah, me too. I haven't had anything that felt like real leave in... over a year. I kind of need it. [Still hasn't had a chance to try to unwind after the whole getting tortured thing. The last moon wasn't exactly relaxing, not with having just arrived.]

[moonofmylife]

[She can't help but laugh a bit.]

I think you'll find that while I do my best to keep things running smoothly, I am not quite so strict as your General sounds. Finn did tell me a bit about her, though you paint an interesting picture yourself.

[helluva_pilot]

I think she'd be less of a hard ass if I'd let her. [He grins.] But no way in heck I'm calling her anything but General Organa.

[moonofmylife]

I think she'd agree with that. Where I am from, I hold a similar position as she does. I am a Queen, though I don't ask others to call me 'Your Grace' when 'Captain' will do just as well.

[helluva_pilot]

You'd think so, but she keeps trying to get me to call her Leia. [Grin.] But I can't imagine calling a legend like her by her first name.

I didn't know you were a queen. [Poe, were you not paying attention?] Of what planet? [It's a serious question.]

[moonofmylife]

If you wish, you may call me Daenerys. I don't mind. We're apart of the same crew, after all.

[She can't help but laugh a little at such a serious question. She's fairly certain no one would like it if she was queen of Essos and Westeros and whatever came west of that.]

Not a planet but a country. It's called Westeros.

[helluva_pilot]

Okay, Daenerys. [Grin. He didn't grow up on stories of her, so it doesn't weird him out.]

Oh, gotcha. What's Westeros like?

[moonofmylife]

It's... well, I was born there but I had to leave when I was very young so I'm not sure what the state of it is now.

[Which is quite a bitter thing to admit.]

[helluva_pilot]

How can you be queen of somewhere you haven't been?

[That came out... not how he meant.]

I don't mean to be rude, I promise. I don't know how the whole... royalty thing works.

oh my god I'm laughing my ass off i think Poe's the first one to ever ask that

[moonofmylife]

It is my birth right. My father was killed and his throne was stolen from him.

[Because he was batshit so it was a good reason but-!!]

You aren't being rude.

[He is but... well he's Finn's friend she'll forgive him.]

Poe asks the tough questions

[helluva_pilot]

[Well, he feels like a jerk now.]

I'm sorry. That sounds... rough. [Awkward.]

[moonofmylife]

I don't mean to... to make it sound so horrible. It is and what happened was horrible, but if I could remember the home my parents built and the home my brothers lived I think I'd feel more at peace. I want to take back my home. I want to be somewhere where I can be at peace. If that is where I'll be at peace then it is only right I seek it out, wouldn't you say?

[She's patient, not begrudging him in the slightest. He had no idea what things had transpired.]

[helluva_pilot]

So you don't even remember your home?

[Even worse. That puts her in close to the same boat as poor Finn, though at least she has an identity to call her own, rather than needing to build one from the ground up like Finn has.]

Well yeah, you gotta. And it sounds like it's a matter of--of justice.

[moonofmylife]

No. My brother, Viserys, told me stories of it.

[She shakes her head, smiling a bit sadly. Viserys hurt to think of. If he'd just been more patient... and yet she doesn't think Drogo would have ever taken them home. Only she could see it through now, completely alone.]

I think it is justice, but not everyone would agree. There are some here who are from my home, who have seen it and know its people. I was hoping to rally them to my cause.

[Robb Stark would be hard won, not that he could help her much. He was long dead now.]

[helluva_pilot]

[He nods, just listening.]

Any luck with that so far?
