During the following hours, everyone was trying to keep their mind busy.
Rey and Cane were isolated from the rest of the crew to work on the Zabrak's meditation. Indeed, the Cyborg, learning what was waiting for them on Korriban, decided to work harder to not become the victim of the Dark Side.
Chewie and R2 were working on small repairs on the Hyperdrive, so that they would not be stuck on the planet if they had to leave quickly.
As for Poe, he was settled in the cockpit, his brown eyes fixed on the lines of stars in front of him. But his spirit was completely elsewhere. The pilot was feeling guilty because of his anger crisis of earlier and to have beat the shit out of Hux. Of course he hated the man and he provoked him in the first place, but he also knew he was better than that and that Leia would have never approved such a behavior. Unconsciously, he removed his left hand glove and started playing with this wedding ring. Ly'ra had given it to him few weeks after the Battle of Exegol. A smile slowly appeared on his face as he remembered the moment...
"Perfect. I want a mission report in five minutes!"
The Felucia Battle went pretty well. The Last Order kept on retreating, while the ranks of the Resistance kept on growing. The General quickly checked his control panel, a satisfied smile on his face. A smile that quickly disappeared when he realised that there was no trace left of Ly'ra and her men.
"Where's the Princess' squadron?"
"I don't know General, we have lost the contact for few minutes now..."
Poe could feel his worry growing and he grabbed his blaster.
"What was their last position?"
Oxana quickly checked but shook her head. She didn't know the panels well enough and she could easily panic.
"I... I..."
A frustrated groan escaped Dameron's lips as he left the Command tent. At the same time, Ly'ra's squadron, led by the young woman, appeared in front of him.
"In the name of... Where the hell were you??"
Ly'ra offered the man a beautiful smile before stepping closer and kissing him.
"I had a problem with my comlink, sorry Love."
She was starting to walk away, but the pilot quickly grabbed her arm before bringing her to him again.
"Don't ever do that again!"
The young woman couldn't hold back a laugh before taking his face and kissing again her husband.
"By the way, I have something for you. I found it few days ago in Dante's stuff and I wanted to give it to you..."
Arching a brow, Poe freed his wife so she could look into the small bag on her leg. After a small battle, she finally took out a small object she was keeping in her hand.
"I believe it's fair you have one too..."
A smile appeared on the pilot's face when he discovered the silver ring she slid onto his finger.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
"Dameron?"
Surprised, Poe shook his head and quickly put his glove back on, clearing his throat. He then frowned as he noticed who called him out.
"What?"
