No, Poe wasn't one to run off over dramatics -- not since he was a teenager anyway. What did he look like, Luke Skywalker? Anyway, there'd been nothing to run from; if anything, Poe would have preferred to stick around even when Ben had turned up alive again this morning, it'd still been something of a strange mood between all his people. Fragile, maybe.
So yeah, of course Poe felt like he was making it worse. Even if this clearly hadn't been his fault.
"Life happened, I guess," he said after a moment where he pulled back too and inspected Armitage in the same way he knew he was being looked at. It wasn't hard to spot out those almost tears, and he reached up to brush a thumb underneath one of his eyes. Poe felt a little bit like he might cry himself. He probably would if he let himself stop and think for too long. "I went back -- for a bit."
