( No one is truly objective. I'd appreciate your viewpoint all the same, if you're willing to give it. )

[ He just doesn't want to hear Ren's side only since that's trouble. ]

[decommission]

[ A deep breath. ]

( Anakin's death sent Ren over the edge. He was going to hurt people. I tried to stop him, but he had help. ) [ The Darkling's face passes between the link. ]

[exhuxperation]

[ Anakin sending Ren over the edge and pushing him into violence is hardly surprising. Hux had kept it to himself– the family ties, that is. He had been more than happy to let Ren handle that on his own time. Steve, naturally, would try and stop something like that.

However, the image of Darkling gives him pause. He frowns deeply, not sure he likes this development overmuch. ]

( Darkling actively goaded him? Why? )

[decommission]

( He's got funny ideas on how someone ought to deal with their grief. )

[ Funny as in terrible. ]

[exhuxperation]

( He thought it wise to provoke Ren into causing more destruction? )

[ Steve you can probably feel the frown from here at this point. ]

[decommission]

( Yeah. We agreed to disagree. )

[ Steve's not too thrilled with the guy, putting it lightly. ]

[exhuxperation]

[ Hux is more than agreeing to disagree. This Darkling is creeping up his shit list. ]

( Did he seem to say anything particular, if you ca– nevermind, I suppose it doesn't matter. I sincerely hope your injuries are healing quickly. I'll see what I can do to dissuade Ren from accepting... unsavory opinions. )

[decommission]

[ He wonders about the interruption, but leaves it for now. Steve didn't actually catch any of the conversation between Ren and the Darkling before arriving on the scene. ]

( Thanks. Good to have you back. )

[ ONE DAY HE'S GONNA REGRET SAYING THAT ]
