[Where is that ringing bell coming from? What about that whistle? Is it the kitchen? No. The garden?

Still no, but you're getting warmer.

Han is waiting for everyone on the field, whistle in his mouth, and bell on the ground (because his hand got tired of ringing the damn thing).]

Finally! Alright, 1, 2, 3.... Do we have everyone here?

[close enough. He then says easily,]

We've got a fun activity today. We're doing trust falls.

Falls. As in multiple.

I expect you guys to partner off-- and don't just stick to someone you know!

In fact, I may be one of the more trustworthy ones around here!

I... what exactly makes you one of the more... ugh... trustworthy ones around here?

[He really doubts that... ]

Because you can trust that a clown will never be trustworthy!

[logic]

.........So I can always trust in never trusting you.

[That.... sounds about right.]

Thaaaaat's riiight! It's nice to have some consistency, isn't it?

I... suppose.

[Poe huffs.]

It.... it rather defeats the purpose of this exercise though.

Of course, no one is completely trustworthy after all.

[He offers Poe a sly grin.]

If an accomplished Clown never speaks a word of truth, how can he be trusted to be honest when he says he lies?

I- You-!

[Poe just..... he makes an small strangled frustrated noise in the back of his throat.]

Why are you like this....?

Because I’m a clown!

........ Of course.

[God.... he hates this man.]

Why... why are you a clown anyway?

[Is there any particular trope he needs to have an grudge against for training this particular clown?]

I was simply born as such.

....So you were born annoying.

[Sure... that makes sense.]

That’s right!

Wonderful.....

[What did he do to deserve being subjected to the Clown???]
