Techie gave a quiet sigh of relief. Threat neutralized?
He peeked out from behind Hux and waved awkwardly, more than a little shy. The co-commander, Kylo Ren, was muscular and, though not conventionally attractive, was still handsome in his own way. Techie gulped. It was more than fear that made his heart race!
“H-hello, Commander Ren…”
Techie wouldn’t mind if Ren bit him…
The naughty thought flickered over his face for a moment before he covered it up with a neutral expression. His pink cheeks gave him away no matter what, though!
“Wh-what does Commander Ren do, exactly?”
Hux looked at his brother closely.
“I am not sure anyone really
even knows. He is a sort of mystic. Deals with the Force more than I am
willing to indulge. But our Supreme Leader sees immense value in him,”
he explained. “He usually wears a dark helmet and a hood to make himself
seem more intimidating. Do you want me to arrange for him to meet with
you to make sure he’s playing nice?”
“That s-sounds good,” Techie says, trying to stifle the smile that threatens to break out on his lips. Ren does not seem to wish him harm… maybe another visit will prove him an ally? The silly, sudden infatuation Techie now has with Kylo Ren is probably the result of an affection-starved optimist hell-bent on having a happy ending with all the stops. (He knows this, he knows, but still he hopes.)
“Can we go see my room n-now? And…can I request s-something for it?” There’s a few little things he’d like to own in order to settle in smoothly.
