So what does that make you, huh? [An implication he supports, in spite of all his gentle ribbing: he was there when Poe was taken, staring down Kylo Ren and a full battalion of soldiers, outgunned and outnumbered, and still he never flinched. Never gave in.
If that doesn't count for heroism, then all those stories he heard as a kid? The ones that got suppressed right from the get go? They had it all wrong.
There's just a momentary pause left out in the open while he works up the nerve: rolling with an agitated, pinched-up grunt against gravity for the sake of turning over on his side. Away from the ache of screaming muscle and cauterized stitchwork that feels about as beautiful as Poe's needlework.]
