Rey and Kylo Ren

Choked

The stiffness in the way Kylo held himself was back almost immediately as Rey patted him down. He was just beginning to raise his hands to push hers away when Rey stepped back on her own, so Kylo instead grabbed her by the arm and started forward. "Because they did the exact same thing you just did," he snapped. He wasn't quite sure just yet where he was planning on leading Rey, but instincts told him that discussing whatever they were doing was best done far out of earshot of the chairman. "There are other ways of fighting that don't include a lightsaber. You would already know that if you had a teacher." His tone was snarky, the exact opposite of how he had been when he and Rey had last spoken.

Once out of the building, he let Rey go and stared down at her. "You aren't leaving this planet with those weapons, so it is foolish for you to stay," he agreed.

Rey looked at Kylo and shook her head. " Why is it that you've been doing this for longer than I but I'm the one who sees what this is?" Rey told him as her hands rested on her hips.

" They refused to let me back on my ship earlier. We are trapped here. They didn't get us both here to sell us weapons. This is a trap. If it was just A weapon order they wouldn't have tasted me Ben!" Rey sounded crazy but she knew she made slight sense as well.

"Don't call me that here." Kylo had a very prominent reputation to uphold, and as lenient as he was with Rey at other times, this was no place for the other side of him that felt like Ben Solo. "They're just using scare tactics. It's a boring deal if someone doesn't have a blaster aimed at their forehead at least once." Kylo glanced away for a moment, toward the landing bay. The colors in the sky were now painted with darker swirls. "I'm sure they just have travel restrictions." He looked back at her. "Just stay the night with me tonight and I'm sure you can leave first thing tomorrow morning."

Rey's expression showed amusement as Kylo spoke on about her staying the night with him.

" I either wake up eaten alive or I wake up on your ship being taken back to your master. I think I'll take eaten alive. At least that way I'll die fast." She told him before turning from him and walking on towards the nearest exit.

Rey was hungry and felt like walking about the area. Her main reason for leaving was due to the twin headed brothers, she felt the streets would be safer.

Kylo frowned after Rey and followed behind her, his long strides compared to her shorter once making it easier for him to catch up quickly. "I appreciate the idea. Hadn't even occurred to me," he said dryly. "You'd die faster being eaten alive, but at least if you came with me, you wouldn't be such an amateur at running deals. They're going to choose me over you just for that little outburst of yours," he commented, completely ghosting over the fact that he had had an outburst as well.

"The Order always gets their weapons --
one way or another." This insinuated a lot of things and the way Kylo looked at her made it clear that he would stop at nothing, too. "You'll be safe with me tonight and I'll even escort you out of here tomorrow."

Rey stepped in front of Kylo and locked eyes with him. Her front teeth nipped onto her bottom lip as she listened on and on about his reasoning to stay with him.

" They might not pick you. They didn't seem that happy with you pining over what's supose to be your enemy. " Rey told him in a rather amused tone as she stood there crossing her arms and looking away.

Her expression fell as she watched two cat like cretures across the street fighting over food.
" Do you know how hard it's going to be to kill the other one some day?" Her eyes fell the the ground as she lightly kicked dirt. " Much harder than this."
