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.
“R-really?” Now that they’d gotten this far, Techie realized with a start that he’d expected Ren to think this was a waste of time, something silly, and that it wouldn’t actually make him happy. It wasn’t much of a stretch to say that Techie sucked at most things he did, so why should this have been an exception?
So to have Ren tell him, in no uncertain terms that LOVED his gift was… amazing! Techie’s heart raced and he couldn’t wipe the goofy grin off his face. “I’m so g-glad you do!” He ached to pull Ren into a hug but wasn’t sure if that was a good idea.
