Blaze Of Glory | Kylo Ren

A Kenobi In Canto Bight

Ani's P.O.V.

"So, what is your objective for this mission?"

"To hired a few bounties in search of the traitor who left on the tie fighter."

"We're going to a casino to find bounty hunters?" 

I question skeptically as I watch our ship land on a dock in Cantonica. Staring out the window, I admire all the elegant buildings in front of us. It's dark, but the lights from the building seem so bright that you'd think it's in the middle of the day. 

I see tons of people on balconies and on the deck in such lavish clothing. Lando was right years ago, this place seems like it bleeds money. Turning off the ship, Kylo nods and explains while messing with a few switches. 

"Yes, these people will know who's available for the job. Only the best bounties get hired by these people. After the piss-poor job General Hux has done, Snoke requested me to find people more appropriate for this task."

"I see..." I mumble as I watch Kylo get up; he helps me out of my seat while I claim as if it's not even a question. "... And I'm just here to gamble?"

"And to keep me company." He smirks while guiding us to the back of the ship; grabbing the two bags, he teases while helping me step off the ramp. "You're very good at that, Angel."

"I'm good at other things too, you know." 

I defend a little annoyed; a man comes up to us and takes Kylo's bag, informing him his usual room is ready whenever he is. I frown a little, realizing Kylo must have come here before. 

Nodding to the man, Kylo sets a hand on my back, walking us toward the closest building. Leaning his head toward my ear, he purrs out invitingly. 

"Oh, I know." I send him a suspicious eye his way and he mumbles playfully with a glint in his eyes. "I mean Sabacc, of course... What do you think I was insinuating?"

"Mhm." 

I growl out, and he chuckles as my cheeks grow pink. Walking toward two gold doors connected to a skyscraper, two men open them for us to enter. All around the room are tables and bars. 

It's packed with people. Scanning the room, I see many people here from planets all over the galaxy. I feel Kylo's hand slide from my back to my hip. 

Holding me this way, he steers me to an elevator. We get in and there's another couple. We all nod at one another before the door closes and goes up. 

I notice the man glancing at Kylo nervously, but the woman pays no mind. Peering up at him by my side, I notice his expression has become cold, emotionless, as if everyone in the elevator is beneath him. The elevator opens, and he escorts us out first. 

Glancing around, I notice fewer people on this level but just busy. People are laughing, dancing, drinking, and gambling all over the place. Not a single person looks sober in the room, they all appear intoxicated. 

Strolling through the floor, I notice people glancing our way and quiet down slightly from the sight of us. I peer up at Kylo again and see the same mindless expression face on him. He's looking straight ahead without bothering to glance at anything this room offers. 

I notice us heading toward a staircase, scanning the room again as I see the people glancing our way dart their eyes away from us. As we walk up the stairs, I hear a new set of laughter and music. When reaching the next level, I notice a change of atmosphere. 

It seems thicker with hostility and importance. I slow down my pace beside Kylo concerned, his grip on my waist keeps me walking at the same pace while speaking up.
