After the Fight [for jakkujedi]

[fulfillourdestiny]

It was instinct, to raise his hand. feel the smack of the weight of the lightsaber hitting the leather of his gloves and to ignite. The guard choking him dropped to the floor and Kylo had not looked round once. His gaze focused on Rey, and he pushed himself to his feet, staring over at her. His breathing was hard - from exertion or adernaline, who knew - but his gaze did not move.

"I'll see if we can arrange that then." Rey said. She needed to learn from someone and surely Leia would see this was her only option. And maybe it would even help them to trust him more.

"I don't necessarily think they'll be enthused," he said drily, mouth tugging up in a slight smirk. They would naturally that training would mean that he would require a weapon. Him getting hold of a weapon was among the last thing anyone at the Resistance wanted.

"I will persuade them." Rey said. And she hoped she could. "You've been cooperating with everything else." He didn't even seem to be complaining about his cuffs or his too small cell. Soon everyone would see what she did, Ben meant them no harm. He had simply lost his way and she was going to help him find it again.

"Not like complaining would do me any good," he muttered, twisting his wrists again to try to keep feeling in his fingers. Complaining would fall on deaf ears, especially since they would prefer him being uncomfortable above anything else.

"Still, I'll see what I can do." Rey said. They needed to start to trust him more. And she wanted to be able to help with that.

"If you can get them to give me longer than five minutes for the fresher, I'd appreciate it." It was said just as dryly as his comment had been the moment before, but there was a look of wry humour on his face this time. Oh, he was sincere, but he could at least have a bit of a laugh about it all.

Or attempt to, at least.
