Chapter Notes: What follows is not an accurate portrayal of healthy BDSM, not is intended to be. This is fiction, and should not be practiced in real life. If you are going to be bothered or triggered by extremely rough explicit sexual content, lack of safewords, and lack of and proper practices, please don't read this chapter or probably the rest of this fic. The sexual content that follows is consensual.

Secondarily, there is also some forced humiliation and physical roughness that is absolutely not okay in any way shape or form. Please read with discretion.

In another epic fashion moment, reader is sporting purple for moral ambiguity.

The walk back to your quarters was suspiciously silent. Apparently, Gil no longer had anything to say about whatever was going on between you and the Emperor. Perhaps he was actually considering your feelings for once. Or perhaps he'd just run out of jokes.

It wasn't until you were only a couple minutes away from your room when you finally turned to the Knight.

"Gil," you murmured.

"What," he replied lowly.

"What happened in that training room? Why would Ren tell me he's not going to teach me to use the Dark Side?"

"That's between you and him."

"But I don't understand. He's a master of the Dark Side, isn't he?"

"He is."

"Well, is that what he taught you?"

"It's complicated."

"Complicated? How?" You heard the Knight sigh from behind his mask, but for the first time since you'd met him, he was silent. Furrowing your brow, you retracted your head, staring at him with a frustrated expression. "What's your problem?"

"Nothing," he said quickly.

"You can either answer my question, or tell me why you're acting so fucking weird."

"Alright, alright," he snapped, and then sighed again. "When Master came back from Exegol, he was...different."

"How?" You pressed.

Gil turned away, like he'd already said too much. But you just kept staring at him, saying nothing, so finally, he continued. "I don't know. I didn't know him before."

You gave him a look. "Everyone in the galaxy knows Kylo Ren."

He hesitated, but continued. "Before Exegol, Snoke taught him how to wield the Dark Side. But that's not Master's way."

"So...he didn't teach you to use the Dark Side?"

"Oh, he did," Gil murmured. "He did. The things he taught me to do, the power he taught me to feel..." He swallowed thickly before continuing, abandoning the thought. "But he urged us not to be seduced by it. He said we can't let it consume us, or it'll only be our undoing."

"That's...surprisingly smart of him."

"Right. Well, not everyone thinks so. Many people on this ship would have us believe that the Dark Side is the only way."

"And what do you think?"

"I think what Master Ren taught me to think. There must be a balance, or both sides of the Force will collapse. You must master both of them. It's how he rose to power. How he defeated Snoke. Except when he came back from Exegol people thought he seemed...weaker. Not everyone thinks he's fit to rule."
