Kylo looked down at the man, he sneered a bit. He knelt down to his level and gave a small smirk “Anything? You mean that do you? What do you have to offer me, pathetic man?” he held his hair to make him look at him in the eyes. 

It took him a long moment before he managed to lower his defenses enough to let Ren slip in without a struggle. Once he opened up a little, Techie’s tight bud of a mind bloomed and fully allowed Ren access.

It was scary to be so wide open and to show him all the horrors he’d lived through, but there was a steady current of calm transmitted through their connection and it felt to Techie like a relieved sigh. He sent to Ren as clearly as he could manage a burst of pure gratefulness and admiration.

It was Ren’s time to do his part now.
