Techie is tempted to apologize to him for his quick-shifting moods, but with the amount of stress he’s been under while awaiting a response, some momentary
craziness can be excused. Hopefully.
“That’s… that’s okay! I n-never even thought I’d get this far. I’ll clean up r-real nice and then try to catch him in a good mood! Maybe he’ll say yes!”
Hux smiled and nodded. “I do hope so. If that’s what you really want. I can’t even imagine Ren being nice. Not to mention pleasant. I am happy for you, though. It’s important that he treats you well. You deserve it.”
Armitage has been such a comfort for him, all throughout his transition from a (hellish) life to another, much more pleasant, one. And yet he selfishly sends Hux out on weird intelligence-gathering missions just because he has a crush…
Techie wants to make it up to him, somehow.
“Armie, is th-there… I mean, can I go somewhere w-with you? Like on a mission to, um, h-help? I feel bad that all I d-do is take and take your kindness and n-never return the favor…”
