"But he still likes you, or the arc welder would have come out."
BB-8 chirrups a grudging confirmation. Poe, meanwhile, studies her face like maybe it will tell him something that her questions don't, that her attitude doesn't. He knows the patterns of the lives that exist behind personalities like hers. He knows that questions--even if she remembered--would be met either with hostility or retreat.
Rogue One. The heroes, the legends, one of them standing here younger than he is. He wishes he could remember more about them, wonders if he knows anything beyond the fact that they were responsible for the destruction of the first Death Star. Given the way Cassian reacted to the mention of 'Fulcrum', he thinks maybe not.
It's a good thing she remembers so little, right now. It's a good thing he knows she remembers so little. He's not going to ask, not her or BB-8. It wouldn't be right to learn from the droid what she wouldn't share herself.
