Techie froze and felt ice run through his veins. Why is Kylo Ren, of all people, talking to him?! The blood is pulsing so hard in his ears that he doesn’t even know what the man is saying, and can only stare blankly at him.
“Um, ah,” he says, very intelligently.
And then bolts for the nearest exit.
“I’m, uh, having some t-trouble,” Techie admits and fixes his gaze on Ren’s face, cautiously observing. He’d heard horror stories about this man and all he’d done, but at the moment he seemed… A little kind?
It was a surprise, a pleasant one, and Techie decided he must be in a very good mood indeed if he’s treating his rival’s brother well.
“I w-would appreciate y-your help,” he says, realizing Ren had lessened the stream of peace. Techie wilts a little but does not complain.
