I met here there too.

[ he'd given her finger food. she wasn't pleased. not the best first impression. ]

If we somehow develop a multidimensional bond that spans across space, you will be the first to know. In the meantime, I don't think you have to worry about that. She is kind, and reminds me of you, yes, but there is only you.

[ Displeased with food? Rey is starting to doubt that this girl is anything at all like her! ]

I'm not worried.

We can work this to all of our advantages. Have you seen the marriage suites? I say we go along with it all, secure ourselves our own kitchens, and work out equitable bed-sharing arrangements.

[dyaddyissues]

[ They were fingers. Human fingers. ]

I haven't seen them, but I hear they are quite spacious. Much more so than the room we've shared together.

There's a kitchen? You could've started with that in the first place.

I suppose we could make this work.

[jedied]

[ ... Okay, probably not the worst thing Rey has ever eaten in that they wouldn't poison her, but fair! ]

I thought I should start with "are we okay" before I got to "I have a plan that involves food" but as I type that out I realize that it was a ridiculous and truly uncharacteristic approach.

Are we okay, though? I'm tired of fighting. We could skip it this once.

[dyaddyissues]

I figured you would've brought up the plan involving food first, my mistake.

[ is he ribbing her? perhaps a little bit. but there's a slight pause, in which Kylo reads her text over and over again before starting on his own reply. "are we okay? can we skip the fighting?" he frowns, an uncomfortable comparison coming front to his mind.

they're like his parents, if his parents had lightsabers. ]

I thought we were going to fight when you first contacted me. I was... counting on it, really.

[jedied]

I know. I thought texting was a better idea than waiting until we were within shouting range.

[ And stabbing range, for that matter. ]

I'm sorry you were hurt by the choice of partner. It wasn't my choice. We'll work out how to get it undone once things are more settled, if it matters that much to you. And in the meantime you can talk to Luke. He cares about you. I'm sure he doesn't want this to hurt you, either.

[dyaddyissues]

We're still able to argue over the text, but there is at least less of a chance of someone getting stabbed this way.

[ just saying what you're thinking here, Rey. ]

I know. That you didn't get to choose. I shouldn't have gotten angry with you over it.

You have more faith in me than you should in that regard. If it makes you happy, I'll try.

[jedied]

Please. You haven't done anything stab-worthy in months.

[ Now she's definitely teasing him. ]

It would make me happy to see the two of you at peace with one another. Trying is all I can ask for.

[dyaddyissues]

That is truly an accomplishment for me. I must be doing something right.

[ it's definitely working, he preens slightly under the praise. ]

I make no promises as to how it will go, but I will at least make the effort.

[jedied]

I do appreciate it, Ben. Trying is all anyone can ask.

Will you be back soon? If we're going to be living apart for a while, we should make the best of our time here.

[dyaddyissues]

What did you have in mind?

[jedied]

I was just about to get into the shower. Get here fast enough and you can join me.

[dyaddyissues]

I can be there in five. I'll wash your back for you.

[jedied]

Deal. I'll brush your hair after if we don't get distracted first.

[dyaddyissues]

So persuasive. You have a deal.
