A sigh escaped Hux's parted lips. He had just paid for the repairs for the damage Kylo Ren had contrived. For goodness sake how many more computers was this idiot going to eradicate?

The General was completely done with Ren's frivolous behaviour. He was practically cleaning up after the Knight of Ren's messes and it was honestly tiring. He's a general of the First Order not a care taker for some fool. Sometimes, Hux thought it was ludicrous that Kylo Ren was Force Sensitive and had amazing abilities that he clearly didn't use to their best extent.even if he was still in training. If he were in the Knight's position, he would damn sure do a better job the Ren.

Speaking of Ren, Kylo Ren had entered the room. Of course, he wore that godforsaken helmet. What was the reason he even needed a helmet? Lord Vader needed it to breathe and cover his facial disfigurement. Did Ren have those same problems? Or was he just insecure about his looks? Or perhaps it's just some facade to make him look more intimidating?

"General." Ren acknowledged the redheads presence nonchalantly. Which it was alright for the general. It wasn't like he was going to give Kylo Ren the satisfaction with some overexaggerated welcoming.

"Ren." Hux responded back in the same tone. Nonchalance. That was all Ren and Hux showed to each other besides exasperation. From time to time the two would both exchange a glance or two. Hux would give Kylo Ren a small smile only when the two actually agree on a plan together without any infantile disputes. It was rarely though. The two argued too much. Kylo even had thoughts of force choking the general but he never did. It would've been pointless if he did it would've erupted yet another argument.

Kylo Ren stood beside the general. His gaze was set on the bill in Hux's hands.

"You should be paying this.." Hux grumbled irritatedly.

Kylo rolled his eyes under his helmet. His brows furrowed together once more as a soft sigh escaped his lips, creating a metallic crackle noise that resonated from outside his helmet. Hux couldn't help but stop what he was doing.

"If you're here to be a nuisance then do it some other time later otherwise whatever you want to say, say it now or leave. I have work to do." The general's voice was stern. It was even in the way he looked. Brows knitted together tightly, jaw clenched, and still not a strand of hair out of place.

Kylo Ren frowned. It was true though, Hux was working and standing over his shoulder wasn't going to help him finish it.

"I don't have anything to say to you at the moment.." Ren responded. He spun around on his heels, his robe swishing behind him lightly before leaving. He actually did have something on his mind. He wanted to tell the general but it wasn't going to do much for him or the redhead. Words are just fabrications. Something that can create a perception but as well as blindness to the mind.

It didn't matter. He had to go to training anyway.
