Thread: OF EMERALD & HOPE: A Star Wars Saga [HopefulRebel x Temptationist]

I was trying to get in contact before landing, Poe pointed out as he was marched across the open walkway and towards a tower. He looked to the left, knowing there wasn't a real exit point from here. He could see another walkway but both were narrow, the other had columns and was a bit wider but from where he was, he'd need a jetpack to get anywhere. We know, a guard answered as his hand was placed on Poe's shoulder and the pilot was pushed forward a bit. Keep walking, he instructed. Still walking. Ya know, you could have replied with a simple 'go away' or 'we're not interested in hearing from a diplomatic envoy, please leave,' he said then turned so he was walking backwards and facing the guard. You're welcoming skills are lacking, I could always help you out with that. In exchange for freedom, perhaps? Do you shut up? The guard huffed and grabbed his arm to spin him around. Stay forward facing and pick up the pace. And keep your mouth shut. We'd all appreciate that, another stated. I'd appreciate knowing what you're going to do with my droid and my ship. I'd also appreciate a bathroom, a drink an audience with your Emperor but apparently it doesn't matter, he said with a shrug of his shoulder. Keep talking and we'll stun you again. I'll drag you into your cell myself if it'll shut you up, the second guard warned. Poe licked over his lower lip and heard a quiet sigh from behind him. The thing with that threat is then I don't ha- He hit the ground with a huff as he clenched his jaw as electricity shot through his body. Poe had passed the time in his cell staring out the window, his mind continued to drift back to his home planet of Yavin IV. The lush foliage reminded him of his home which brought on regret at not stopping by to switch out his ship like he had before travelling to Jakku. He'd inspected the cell when he'd first arrived but there was only a stone bench with a window. Energy bars gave off their usual hum but other than that, there was nothing to be used to his advantage. When the call came he was being transferred he stood and watched the guards, when he saw the cuffs he held his hands out and locked his gaze on Typhonis as she spoke. So which is it? Don't speak or speak only when spoken to? He arched a brow. You can call me Poe if we're going to be more personal than professional. Once on the ship Poe got himself settled and opted to take in the scenery as they moved rather than antagonize the troops any further. The more he saw the more he thought of home, a random tree would catch his attention or way the foliage had taken over an ancient building would bring back old child hood memories. Poe snorted when the Kom'ander spoke again. Death and suicide go hand in hand where I'm from as well, don't need an explanation for that one, he informed her. Poe truly hadn't been expecting such expansive buildings when he'd been flying in but then again, he'd been expecting to find a more desolate like planet. A dying civilization. Upon entering the throne room Poe took it all in, while this place did seem it would be easier to get out of with all the windows he'd never make it back to his X-Wing and he couldn't leave BB-8 behind. He kept his gaze ahead after the first few moments after entering and once they neared the throne itself he noticed the white fabric and continued on until he was made to stop and grunted when he was pushed to kneel. Just gotta say, no need to be so pushy, he stated to the guard who'd pushed him down. When the movement in front of him caught his attention he was quick to shut his mouth and stared a moment at the woman. She was probably the biggest surprise yet. The general had definitely said emperor, last he checked that meant male. When Kom'ander Typhonis introduced her Poe gave a little nod, his train of thought being correct. This wasn't Emporer Lucian and this planet wasn't dying. Their entire intelligence had been wrong. Go figure. Poe's gaze never left the woman's face though when she called him Commander he had to flick his gaze to the Kom'ander for a split second before turning his eyes back to Empress Ka'leria. He stood at her command, she wasn't his ruler but he knew how to show respect where it was due. Empress Ka'leria, he said with a small dip of his head. I've come on behalf of General Leia Organa. I had a droid with me, he obtains the message she has sent in hopes of breaching an alliance between the Resistance and Kaspian people.
