new places with new people are always stressful for bb-8. after all, there’s no telling how they may react to a resistance droid. it’s for this reason that the little astromech usually prefers to hide until they can get a read on those around them, but this time they didn’t find a spot quite fast enough.
there are many things bb-8 has learned to better handle since they first became a part of the resistance. if the sudden shriek they emit as they go flying is any indication, explosions are not one of those things.
they take a moment to reconnect their head to their body before their optic starts scanning the now decimated area for their friend.
for a droid as small as bb-8, doing something as simple as getting the attention of a friend can ( occasionally ) be a challenge. fortunately they aren’t above head-butting rey until she notices them.
the little astromech comes racing into the room, only barely managing to come to a stop before they crash into their friend as startled tones escape them.

it’s a good - no, it’s an okay plan. and more importantly, poe is counting on her success. or at least that’s what bb-8 keeps telling herself so she’ll stay still and continue pretending that she’s been reprogrammed instead or rolling off to the nearest hiding spot.
