[ The fact that it's Rex is the far more important part of the action anyway, and despite Rex's corpse impression, Poe still gets that weird tingle sensation right down his spine. He can't help it, and he starts chuckling against Rex's lips, before ducking his head to press a smack of a kiss to Rex's jaw.

He's glad he asked first, because that sort of reaction would generally be a red flag - but he's pretty sure that in this case it's just nerves and inexperience. He trusts Rex to tell him to back off if he wants Poe to stop. ]

[ It's not quite chastising or teasing - closer to an amused purr. He slides a hand onto Rex's chest over his blacks - no apparent goal attached save simple touch, and turns his head to press a kiss to Rex's ear, instead, gently pulling at his earlobe with his teeth. ]
