[ Rex saying his name like that was enough to get the muzzle of the blaster to drop a little, some of the anger ebbing into exhaustion instead.
But then Andy started talking.
Take some fucking responsibility, she tells him, like he's the one that just ran away for five days and was trying to run away again. A dark look crosses his face and pulls the edge of his lip up to bear his teeth.
Then he fires.
The thing with Poe, is that he's a surprising good shot, and he knows how blasters work. Even on stun settings. He knows that if he hits the bulkhead just behind her knees, he can bounce the force off the wall and dull some of the impact, so when it ricochets and hits her, it's just enough to cause paralysis in her lower half and not enough to knock her out. No way is he letting her out of this argument that easy. ]
I have never loved anything like how I love the two of you, [ He hissed, as if he was cursing her. He set the safety on and the tossed the blaster down at Rex's feet like it disgusted him. ] So if you're trying to save either of us pain with this bantha shit, you're doing one terrible fucking job, Andy.
[ Because nothing had ever hurt worse than this. ]
I'm taking off. Stun her again if you have to. She's not leaving this damn ship until she stops fucking lying to me. [ And goes to push past the both of them to get to the cockpit. ]
