( Well this is a stupid response but he's going to say it anyway because he's stupid and the image of that one bare, freckled shoulder is going to be burned into his brain for the rest of his life - )

Tython. ( Maybe it's taking advantage of her intoxication - although he's never claimed to be even a halfway decent person - but he's unabashed in the way he takes in the poorly illuminated angles of her face: the hollows underneath her eyes, thrown by the light of the communicator; the splatter of freckles over the rise of one cheekbone not totally dissipated into shadow; the lone ring of green hanging in the brown of her eyes, solidly aglow in the contrast between his call and the darkness of the room beyond. The bow of her mouth, and the memory of it against his own. )

Wherever you want to go. ( Pause. ) As long as the humidity is somewhere below ninety-eight percent.

( Literally so, so stupid. )

As long as the humidity is somewhere below ninety-eight percent. ( This is important, all things considered, and bears repeating. Never mind that it's easier to parrot than it is to come up with original statements.

So, so stupid.

He'll just. Get up. And do anything else other than sit there because there is a thread of anxious energy running like an electrical current underneath his skin. )


And no sarlaccs.

( One of them has to be the sane one, so it might as well be the sober one. )

You're already intoxicated. Why add reckless to the equation?

( He sits, this time on a cot jutting from the wall of the shuttle he's currently occupying. He props the comm on a side table so that they are more or less facing one another, wrists braced on his knees, nearly leveling with her. )

( That particular throwback does not go unnoticed, and the expression on his face should be enough to discredit that specific question but just in case there was any doubt - )

I could ask you the same question. ( Because, at this point, they both know the nuances and accuracy of that particular inquiry, but maybe right now he's the only one who understands the severity of both the question itself and the answer. The angle now, though, is interesting, and he chews the inside of his cheek, eyeing her clavicle under the blanket almost warily. ) I would confidently put money on 'no.'

( Never mind that he's in no position to book it halfway across the galaxy regardless of his own provocations. Never mind that she is in no position to book it halfway across the galaxy - or further or closer. He has no real idea where she is, but someone would notice. Fortunately, he's less inclined to challenge her given that she's yet to get out from underneath that blanket, which he is slowly starting to resent. )

I know where you are now. ( In the abstract, at least, and that's clear in his tone. He's never really had to deal with anyone in this state before but it's simultaneously aggravating and endearing. He wants to say - no it's stupid but it's going to come out before he has a chance to catch this runaway train of thought - ) What are you wearing under the blanket?

( - which immediately slams back into him with the speed of the freight that ran away from him in the first place because Leia Organa didn't raise no fuckboy. ) Sorry.

( Hopefully she's recording this because it's highly unlikely he'll ever apologize for anything ever again. )

( Maybe it's the nature of the connecting bridge between them, but he doesn't feel laughed at despite the pointed tip of it directed right toward him. If anything, he senses the echo of his own uncertainty in the lingering beat between the change in her expression and the clap of her laughter - admittedly not a sound he's overly familiar with and definitely not enough to judge, but he relies on intuition to lead him here - and rather than recoiling, he leans into it, just once. )

You can't possibly be that cold. ( Suggestive? Maybe, but he's hardly an expert at this, and despite his pronouncements otherwise, he's still Han Solo's son, and anyone who knows that man knows that his ability to smoothly navigate a conversation is lacking. So it sounds more dubious, even as he maneuvers to lie on his side, propped up on one bent elbow. ) Where are you?

( The leading note in his tone is somehow different even to his own ears. Less command and more layered, genuine curiosity. Exploitation is less on his mind than is trial and error, since Felucia. )

( He narrows his eyes. His location is arbitrary, but that's the nature of the beast these days. )

I asked first.

that diego is such a heathen

[personal profile] apparare 2020-11-27 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I can see that.

( A lot of this feels like a trap and a situation he should not be taking advantage of, but when allowances are rationed out like sips of water during a drought, he finds that the overwhelming scratch of the dryness in his throat is too much to contend with. He's felt the bow of that waist through the leather creaking in his palm as he's flexed his fingers, but his hands are bare now and there is no sensory memory to bridge the gap between reality as it stands and reality as he's experienced it before. )

I was aiming for the planet but apparently alcohol makes you only slightly more agreeable.

You suggested a planet. ( Which shouldn't be taken as an indication that he is at all planning to meet her there. Regardless of what's happened in the weeks and months since Crait, there are still some trajectories that he can't deviate from. ) I'm looking for a confirmation.

( If he can conceptualize the planet on his end, could he project himself there intentionally, rather than one of them accidentally stumbling into it? The academic nuances of their predicament are only slightly less interesting to him than the rise and fall of that blanket with the cadence of her breath, but Kylo is resolutely not addressing that. )

This is a video call. Where else should I look?

( As if he could. The whole of his attention is collapsed down to a pinhole, caught up in the gravity well that spans the distance between them and pulls, pushes, lengthens and condenses like the rhythmic breathing of something living. He could easily tip over and into her and find himself caught in that whirlpool, that black hole, and never surface, but reaching for the riptide intentionally always leaves him empty handed. Some piece refuses to connect, their fingers always touching but never catching in the dark. )

Hang up. I want to try something.

( Before Rey even has a chance to respond, he cuts the connection so that his screen goes dark, leaving only the illuminating wash of the solitary glowlamp still lit in the absence of the stark white-blue of his comm unit. Through the long line that pulls taut between them, the ever-there sensation of her through the Force, he follows the thread as best he can, the same way that he had reached out months ago, that first time, though this time he lacks the anchor of her extended hand to guide him up through the pitch. )

( A few of the last vestiges of rationality that manage to hang on by their own frayed ends persistently rationalize that most of what he's doing is still an academic choice. There is still room to make the argument that he's testing a hypothesis or pushing the limits and boundaries of this thing that they have both tried to be rid of at varying points and to varying degrees. Snoke had insisted that it was his creation, his manipulative experiment, that had bridged the gap, and so it stands to reason that examining it to its very end is not only necessary because of the tactical aspects of occupying one end of a direct connection to an enemy but also because the bond's continued existence itself could call into question some hard truths about the true status of that voice in the dark, that cold shadow lurking in the back of his mind.

He could also blame this lapse in judgment on the bleed between Rey and himself through their connection and claim that he was drunk, but Kylo doubts that the swimming sensation in his head has anything to do with blood alcohol content. But it's fun to explore it as an option. He sits up.

Of course, nothing happens at first, not for a while, and he listens to the whir of the shuttle around him, cutting through hyperspace like a blade. Of course, nothing happens at first but when it does, it's as subtle as it's always been, enough that he doesn't even notice at first. It's the drop in air pressure and then its rise, gravity pressing down on his shoulders, the back of his neck. He's still sitting there, knees akimbo, heels pressed nearly together on the floor, fingers curled under the edge of the cot. He doesn't even have to look behind him to know. )


Comfortable? ( He's asked the same question of at least one other person before, though this time the sarcasm is laced with a little less hostility than it had been then. )

( There is a weighted tug that pulls at the edges of his peripheral, guiding the lingering line of his gaze toward where he knows that he'll find her lying like an illusion, some play of the imagination, in the indentation that his own body hasn't left across the narrow slant of the mattress. The warmth of her floods the boundaries of his perception, the same way that the weird and heavy weight of humidity had settled over him that time he had found moisture pressed into the lines of his gloves. He knows that she's there without having to even turn and check for himself, and there is something both comforting and nerve-wracking about that knowledge, like keeping a secret he knows he should tell or tempting himself with a reward he knows he doesn't deserve.

He should stand, despite reaching out to her in some capacity in the first place. He should walk away, despite doing his part to close the distance between them whether by feet or parsecs, whether by physicality alone or through whatever strange bridge still connects them through the Force. If anything, he should remain seated just the way that he is, facing away, if only because he knows what's under the drape of that blanket. Still, there is only so much self-control in the galaxy. )


No answer? ( He can see her plainly when he turns to look at her, just the sharp line of his eye at first and then the entirety of his shoulders to follow as he turns, one hand plunged precariously next to her in the sheets but not touching. The fragility of the line that stretches between them, like a thread of woven, brittle glass, doesn't escape him, both in the physical sense and in terms of how her mood and attitude toward him might impact it.

The corner of his mouth quirks, definitely not a smile but not lacking in some degree of familiarity either, almost bordering on affection. )
That's highly unlike you.
