“We can always t-talk next time you come, Armitage. I don’t m-mind if you take a nap!” Techie says, a little too quickly to be normal.
There’s something he’s avoiding.
Something big.
Hux noted the quick response and found it just a little suspicious. Was he so tired he turned paranoid? Or was there something to it?
“Do you want me to go, Billy? If you do, I can go…” But the thought still hurt a little.
“N-no!” Techie lurched forward, grabbing Hux’s sleeve to keep him in place, cheeks red. “There’s someth-thing I need to tell you, okay? B-but you have to promise n-not to be mad…”
His eyes were wide and scared; hoping, praying, that his brother would understand what he was about to say.
