WARNING!!! SPOILERS FOR TROS AHEAD!
HER eyes looked up as he entered the room, the man who caught her stealing. She'd describe it less as stealing and more as just looking. Perhaps just strolling through their base and glancing at what they were hiding.
Her eyes concentrated on him making circles around her. She didn't know him, rarely going to places like this. Her eyes didn't leave him as he knelt in front of her, getting on her eye level.
"What were you doing in our base?"
"Nothing." the look in her eyes changed into a glare.
"Alright," his eyes shifting to the side, before going back. "Were you searching for something for you and your friends?"
"No."
"What? You got lost and strolled into our base?" he found it unbelievable, inspecting her eyes if perhaps he could see her true nature behind those glass walls.
"Perhaps." she shrugged, forcing him to get up on his feet in anger.
He rushed to the side, holding his hands against his hips. He gazed through the window, figuring out how to get information from the girl. He feared she might be working for someone. The last thing he needed was someone reporting them to the Republic.
"You are Poe Dameron, aren't you?"
"Yeah, why?"
Smirking, she didn't face him, only making a lucky guess. "Nothing. Just asking." the girl replied.
Poe responded by rushing back to her side and kneeling down again. He focused on her face once more, trying to make his own lucky guess. He couldn't recognise her.
"How do you know me?"
"You are not the only smuggler around."
She chuckled, leaving the poor smuggler speechless. He figured if she knew what he was doing, who knows what she'll do with that piece of information.
"I'm joking. I've heard the rumours. A daring son of a Rebel pilot staying on Kijimi," she burst into laughter, testing how naive he was. "You should have seen your face. It was precious."

"I still think this is not a good plan." muttered the prisoner, following Poe.
He had grabbed her tied hands, deciding to take her to Babu Frik who'll decide what to do with her. The two hid behind a wall with Poe peeking on the other side to see the enemy, holding onto his raised blaster.
