[ He could tell her so much more about what getting sent to his uncle entailed, but thankfully, Rey moves past that. She understands some of it, at least. Though being sent away isn't the real source of his grievances with his parents, it's certainly a significant piece of the puzzle. Enough so that they can move on from the subject. ]

Fine. [ THERE. QUICK AND EASY. As if he doesn't have an explosive temper that gets the best of him time and time again. Really, he's just relieved there aren't any more prying questions to entertain. ] How many people are included in this ceasefire now?

[talentedscavenger]

[There's a lot for them to discuss. A lot for them to realize how similar they were. How they know the pains of loneliness and of being abandoned...but not today. Not right now.

But they're quick to move onto a different subject and Rey finds herself letting out a sigh.]

Everyone on this moon.

[Better than giving out a list of names for Ren to look over. Better than giving him insight to which relationship were stronger friends and others.]

All of us are on a ceasefire on this moon. And you want me to train with you, you have to uphold that.

[Beat.] I don't want to fight you.

[ On the one hand... he hadn't any intentions of going around wreaking havoc. His goal on this moon is-- and has always been-- to get off and return to his rightful place ASAP. This is a temporary stop, and with so many uncertainties in his path, he has little to gain from starting a war here.

Effectively, there had always been a ceasefire-- except where a few were concerned.

That being said, if he gives in to the questioning and the ultimatums this time and every time, things will rapidly tip in her favor. Agreeing to her terms so readily will only make him appear a pushover. So he just... shifts gears a bit. ]

Then don't. Haven't I shown already that I don't want to fight you, either?

[talentedscavenger]

[ Everyone from their world—minus Jyn and Cassian—wanted to go back ASAP. Thus far, they hadn’t found a way to do now. Now that list of people included Ren.

Why does he make things so difficult? Did he do it to annoy her or was this just in his nature. ]

By harming Poe, you’ve harmed me too. An attack on my friends is an attack on me. [ Just like if someone else from the Order was here and she stacked them, he might consider it an attack on him. ]

I don’t want to but you’re pushing my hand. What if Poe had been killed?

[killthepast]

[ It's probably a little from column a, and a little from column b...

Also, if she attacked Hux, he'd probably laugh. Secretly. On the inside. ]

If I wanted to kill him, I'd have already done it.

[ SURE. ]

[talentedscavenger]

If you had, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

[ Her voice is harsh there, holding back from issuing a threat.]

Do not do it again, Ren. [ Final warning before she hangs up. ]
