I so wish I had the mental capacity remaining this week to sit down and write about baby Poe teething on L'ulo’s fingers because Kes has looked everywhere and cannot find his leather belt and holy hell does this kid have a set of lungs – and L'ulo reminding adult Poe of it by silently holding up two fingers every time Poe says anything remotely self-congratulatory. Pretty sure some of the newer Resistance pilots now think two fingers signify some kind of threat in L'ulo’s culture.
Save up some spoons and write it sometime, I would love to read that.
I haven’t yet worked out when in the chronology Poe meets L’ullo. I have an awesome short story written where L’ullo and Green Squadron are all bonding, and the young human woman in the group that he’d assumed would be shy turns out to be awesome and tells a very colorful story of how she accidentally got married.
Everyone was laughing; Pick looked impressed, Crynyd looked a little uncomfortable. “So I hunted him down,” Shara said, “got my teeth in him, dragged him back to my place. I figured I’d use him up and throw him away, because you know.” She shrugged. “Life is cheap out on those spaceports, and he was– well, he was a juicy specimen.”
“Just gonna use him up, huh?” Kokely chuckled. “I approve.”
“I had solid plans,” Shara said. “I was going to use him up, wear him out, suck him dry, and break his heart.”
Everyone had a good laugh at that, although L’ulo decided against trying to read any literal meanings into that. He knew humans did not as a rule practice sexual cannibalism, so clearly, it was all metaphor.
But I don’t want to post it because then all the stuff I wrote about how Kes wound up in the Resistance would already have been told.
I do have this idea that Poe being in so many of the propaganda/PR holos from during the Rebellion (there must have been other kids around, but he was exceptionally cute) means that he’s in a ton of historical material as this wide-eyed infant, and it’s probably sort of embarrassing to him and yet, on the other hand, sometimes it works out in his favor and people think he’s cool. So it’s all a little bit fraught.
But his continuing relationship with L’ullo would definitely be one of those instances of Insanely Cool colliding with Sort Of Mortifying, I think, for sure.
