He definitely knew, and didn't use it as liberally as she feared, mostly because he only liked using it when it was genuine. He couldn't help but smile -if somewhat softer- when she addressed BB-8 herself, biting the inside of his cheek briefly to keep from grinning outright, as he knew that the droid was going to play up any imagined damage now that there was an audience.
He wasn't wrong, either, as the little astromech trundled out from behind the tree, somehow managing to limp, its dome wobbling every couple of rotations, as if sticking. It made a forlorn noise once it was close enough, dome dipping as if to show her where it had been bumped.
If she was familiar with -what for her would be a newer style- companion therapy droids, BB-8 was similar, though with a dome in place of the squarer, more blocky head of most therapy droids.
There was, in fact, a smudge on the back of the dome, probably either from hitting the rubber of the socket in the ship or bumping something on the way to the forest floor, but there was no dent and no chipped enamel. Poe, for his part, was practically vibrating with amusement, trying not to laugh as he knew it would upset the droid, thinking he was making fun of what was very clearly some serious damage.
