[ she squats down and bb-8 rolls closer and then rocks back and force on the spot, chattering along all the while: that she's right, he's an astromech, about how many missions he's flown with poe, about that time he met r2-d2, maybe that's a model she knows?
poe watches, the expression on his face one of utter fondness. he's missed bb-8 more than he tried to let on. ]
[ she recognizes the model, having seen it all over the galaxy, but the D2 specification rings familiar as well. there was a droid by that designation on the rebel base. huh. the surprise registers on her face in a lift of her brows. ]
I might've met that Artoo model, too. Are they your friend?
[ friend, because droids can feel as much as anything else. ]
[ the next series of beeps is almost affronted in tone because r2-d2 is asleep or powered down and what droid does that and bb-8 has tried talking to r2 but r2 didn't answer.
poe, meanwhile, catches that friend and he's glad for it. jyn's a better person than she gives herself credit for, if you ask him. ]
[ that is unusual, but what's more unusual is keeping a powered down droid, when it would normally go to the scrap heap. she directs her next question at poe, tipping her chin up. ]

Is the droid important?
no subject
[ she probably doesn't, but she's not sure. and there's a point to the question, even if it might seem like a non-sequitur. ]
no subject
Never heard of him.

[ she gets excited over the mention of the jedi, his own expression grows just a little more starry-eyed when he mentions general organa. ]
