Kylo looked down at the man, he sneered a bit. He knelt down to his level and gave a small smirk “Anything? You mean that do you? What do you have to offer me, pathetic man?” he held his hair to make him look at him in the eyes. 

Techie’s breath caught in his throat. Could this powerful man really want to… Help him? It was such an insane thought that he nearly laughed aloud. Instead he choked it back and answered with a tremulous, unbelieving voice, “Y-yes! Of c-course!” Techie was about ready to throw himself at Ren’s feet and kiss them.

Without realizing it, he leant into his gentle touch and practically purred; How long had it been since someone had touched him kindly? Years? A decade?

“I won’t t-tell anyone, p-promise!”

He eased himself onto the bed at Ren’s insistence, running his fingers over the fabric and then gripping it hard. “I’m T-Techie. And I n-never got to find out wh-what happened to her. I was r-released before the J-Judges could get to h-her,” he confessed, defeated. Most nights he couldn’t sleep, wondering if she’d slip into his room once more.

“I know wh-who you a-are, Lord Ren. Hux, I- uh, I mean, the General, keeps me up to d-date.” His cheeks color. It’s strange to be invited to call such a powerful man by his first name.

He meets Ren’s gaze from below his orange eyelashes. “M-my memories? Y-you can help?”

The vaccuum makes a high-pitched suction sound and Techie scrambles to pull it out of the pipe. His gaze darts from Ren to the sonic and then back again.

“I was in a g-gang,” he says. “Not by choice. The l-leader, she- M-MaMa- scooped m-my eyes o-out like icecream w-with her own,” a shuddering sob, “Her own F-F-FUCKING FINGERS.”

His hands shake as he retracts the tube and tucks it into his toolbelt. “I didn’t earn th-them. They w-were a p-p-punishment.”

Looking aghast at Ren’s words, Techie shakes his head. “N-no, I… I want to l-live for a long t-time.” Quietly, he adds, “If I d-didn’t I wouldn’t be in the F-first Order at all.”

His tremors have calmed down to just a manageable shake. Techie reaches for his toolbelt and takes out a long, thin tube with a rounded, hollow end and scurries towards the sonic, disconnecting the pipes and lodging the tube near the clogged section.

As the little vaccuum hums to life, Techie asks, “Can’t y-you do this too? With th-the F-force?” He figures there’s no harm in asking; the worst has passed and Kylo Ren said he wouldn’t kill him. Techie can probably handle anything else that might happen. Or so he hopes.

Something like reverence dawned in Techie’s eyes. His pupils swallowed up most of the bright blue irises with an audible whirr. “Th-thank y-you, sir,” he said, picking himself off the floor on skinny, trembling legs. “My s-ss-sup- uh, fuck! My *boss* assigned m-me to fix y-your sonic.“

Techie gestured over to where he’d been before Ren force-dragged him over; the door to the bathroom is flung wide open and the sonic’s long metal pipe shudders. His eyes swirl in their sockets and grow darker. Within a moment he says, “There’s a b-buildup of cr-crud in the pipe.”

Carefully, Techie gives Ren the side-eye. Feeling braver now, maybe foolishly so, he adds, “Leslie w-wanted you to k-kill me. That’s why sh-she assigned me to y-your room.”

Techie let out a shuddering sob, arms rigid at his sides in fear. “I’m g-good at n-numbers! I can f-f-fix anyth-thing, oh pl-ease, oh please! D-don’t-! Um, ah-”

He had to come up with something, *anything* to make this terror spare him!

“My eyes!” he accidentally shouts right into Ren’s face. “N-night vision, heat vis-vision, whatev-ever you w-want!”

He looked at the man, taking in the adrenaline of the terror. Then perplexed he looked at the mans eyes. “What the hell…” he looked at them close, noting they were cybernetic. “What the hell happened to your eyes?” he noted the mans rather scruffy and dirty look. He also noted the immense waves of anxiety flowing from him. He looked at his scared face, and he didn’t even flinch at the mans nervous shout. “What are you so afraid of?”

“I’m af-afraid of everyth-thing,” he admitted, ashamed, and added, “But mostly th-the woman who took m-my eyes.” Techie’s mouth snaps shut like a steel trap. He’d said more than he meant to.

You never give out info people can use against you. Techie knew this, and yet… how easily the words had come out of his mouth! He squirmed in Ren’s grip, desperate to get down and far, far away. “P-please,” he sobbed once more, lost in the fog of terror.
