There's a more minute aspect of Pyre and Tierny's relationship on tumblr much since I overlooked it during my watch of swres while the series was airing. I wouldn't consider either of them "the dumb one", but Tierny tends to rely on her brains more than her brawn due to her FOSB duties, while Pyre, being in the role of a military commander, is more associated with combat as a rule.

This sort of dynamic usually tends toward the more strategic of the pair being the cynic or realist of the duo, but that role actually goes to Pyre during season 2, with Tierny more frequently playing the optimist against him.

It makes sense when you look into it canonically—Tierny's confident in Tam and her plan to use her to draw out the Colossus, and as season 2 unfolds, it's implied that Pyre is either shielding Tierny from how much Kylo and Hux are pushing them to destroy the Colossus, or else; or he doesn't have the clearance to tell her.

#commander pyre #agent tierny #can be read as pyreny but also I think this meta applies to how the two interact in canon as well #and hear me out about the shielding bit because I get that can sound shippy (and it kind of is in fairness)#BUT #in Station to Station he downplays the part that Kaz and Neeku stole to Hux #but names the exact part to Tierny a few minutes later so he knows damn well what got stolen #and to me this shows he's clearly trying to downplay his (and tierny's) failures to first order leadership to buy them time #and recognizes how serious the situation is #(see also: 'it's not general hux I'm worried about')#star dorks #sw headcanons
