@first-order-generalā:Ā Hux stands at the doorway, silhouetted by the light from outside. "I did it," he says, in a hushed voice. "I left." Trying to speak loudly enough to wake Ben, if he's sleeping, but not loudly enough to attract attention. "Are you awake?" he asks, his voice shaking a little bit. "We need to go." He steps into the room, and Ben can see that his lip is bleeding.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā The words stir him, his eyes opening as he lifts his head. He hasnāt been asleep really, only lightly resting here and there, fitful rests that have happened ever since Hux hadnāt come back. Slowly, he lifts up at the words, looking over at Hux and breathing out shakily.Ā ā ---go? ā Nidge is here at the camp, he knows, but at the same time --- well. Ben stands, and his eyes sweep straight to his lip, only to grab at him and pull him close, his eyes darkening.Ā ā ---- Iāll kill him. ā Or at the very least, beat him to damn near death.
