[His tone is disbelieving - he clearly thinks the Resistance had a base there. He is looking out at the ocean, not really looking at her when he speaks again]
There's a lot of noise in the world. For it to be gone, even for a moment. That would be nice.
I didn't know he existed until BB-8 pointed him out.
[There was no Resistance base on Jakku, and wouldn't he be able to sense if she was lying to him? She looks at him, shaking her head and beginning to feel annoyed.]
Noise, the sound, it means something. To sit still and hear nothing, it's...[Like waiting for death. Waiting to see how much longer she could hold out with very little food and water. To hear nothing would take her back to those days of being stuck inside her AT-AT home, waiting for the sand storm to pass.]
[Yeah, he wasn't in the mood for that hunt. He was glad when he realized she'd seen the map because it meant not having to constantly look for a damn droid. He glances at her briefly and turns back to the ocean]
For those who have heard it, silence is unpleasant.
[A small thing that he and the First Order wanted...and she has to put up her guard a little more, just so he wouldn't try to see the map in her mind.]
..Yes, it is.
[She fully turns to look at him, her legs crossed. Her eyes studying his face and his posture.]
I don't know what to make of you. I really don't. [All the potential he has...of all the things he's had...why turn to the Darkness? Why throw everything away?]
[A monster hiding behind a mask, is what she wants to say. To repeat what was said when they first met.]
Someone who knows loss, someone who knows pain, and someone who had the capacity to protect but doesn't.
Someone who would probably kill off their apprentice if Snoke told them to. [The words fly out of her mouth before she had the chance to actually think about them.]
[She can see the hurt she's inflicted and has to look away...she didn't mean to do that.]
No...I don't. For in all of that, you have your ...moments. [He didn't kill her right on sight. She knows he carried her to his ship. And even now, he's not trying to convince her to join him.]
[He surprised that it did hurt. Why should he care? He doesn't, he thinks, but it's the assumption he would do it that annoys. Of course, he would obey his Master's commands, but to assume that he automatically would was... annoying to him.]
Perhaps I'm trying a different tactic to bring you to the side of the First Order
[He lets it hang and then]
But for now, I'm not. It wouldn't be worth it. Not here.
[Not worth it? Not here? She should be grateful he's not trying anything, but...why does that annoy her? What? Does she actually like bantering and arguing with him?]

[She was trying to get BB-8 to the Resistance.]
No...it wouldn't be nice. It would...stale. Empty..meaningless.

It isn't always as easy as Han Solo liked to make out.

Because it's truly confusing for someone like you to...become what you are.

Thus. Pointless.

Date: 2017-09-16 12:49 am (UTC)Still, it's an opportunity I'm sure someone else in the Order would've taken...
[So why wouldn't he? Unless he really does want to talk to her..]
Do you know why we're connected?
no subject
Date: 2017-09-16 12:55 am (UTC)[Does he?]
... No.
no subject
Date: 2017-09-16 01:03 am (UTC)[She doesn't believe him, but... he doesn't know why they're connected...that she can believe.]
Have you told Snoke about this?
no subject
Date: 2017-09-16 01:09 am (UTC)[No, he's not told him. Snoke tends to know everything about him. It can be ... tiring]
no subject
Date: 2017-09-16 01:11 am (UTC)Which only makes her think that if there was a chance in hell that she would turn to Ren as her Master, if Snoke wished it, he would kill her.]
Not always, otherwise he would've sent you to Jakku. [Before she found BB-8. Before any of this began.]
no subject
Date: 2017-09-16 01:15 am (UTC)[Listen, the droid escaping with the plans was not something they had seen. People being sneaky seems to confuse even the strongest of Force users]
