Leia knows her son better than anyone. She knows he has a temper and she knows how to calm that temper. She knows what he likes. She knows who he likes.
She knows that sending Poe out on doomed missions straight into her son’s hands over and over again can distract Kylo long enough to give the Resistance an edge. She understands the cost and is willing to pay it.
Poe doesn’t know, but he trusts the General and would follow her to the ends of the galaxy. Stars love him, he keeps finding ways to escape her son’s grasp. But one day, Leia knows, he won’t come back. And maybe then there will be peace.
