A discussion of tactics? It wasn't Ren's forte, but he'd indulge the general for now. It was a good enough distraction.

"They'll be caught up in red tape for a while as they try elect new officials and discuss what's to be done," he replied. "Even if they are fully united by the loss of Hosnian Prime, there will be arguments over how to proceed. The First Order will have no such issue, even if our return is delayed."

It was almost funny how stupid the New Republic and their Senate was. That they refused to listen to General Organa, when it was her hand that essentially rebuilt the government from scratch. He'd always hated politicians, even before he was able to put a reason to it. A single, strong leader was the reason the First Order had been able to grow the way it had. There was no argument to get in the way.

"Their weakness other than their indecision was their lack of knowledge, and I've no doubt that will continue to be the case. They've no charts of the Unknown Regions, no idea of our numbers, our weapons, or where our troops are stationed. They've been made aware of it now, but it will take time before they can remedy that weakness."

He knew Leader Snoke would be able to see the situation for what it was and take decisive action. Starkiller Base was an immense power, but it was one weapon. They had other resources.

Well, this was turning out to be better than he expected. Not only was he not angry anymore, but Ren was actually talking tactics with him. Hux wasn't so arrogant that he'd refused to listen to others, so he heard him out before responding.

"The fact that they're so easily thrown into chaos shows how weak the New Republic really is. They aren't disciplined or ready to rule this galaxy and it's because of their inaction that the First Order was able to grow this powerful in the first place." An angry, almost bitter tone finally reached into his voice, showing how he felt about the war he was fighting against them.

"However, resistance pilots are still out there and we are on this planet without any means to escape yet. We will do well to keep that in mind and not make any foolish mistake." The First Order will continue, even if Hux didn't make it back, but he highly preferred to be part of it rather than just wasting away on this planet. Everyone in the First Order should feel that way, honestly.

"And we must not forget that the traitor most likely leaked information to them as well." If Hux ever saw FN-2187 again... "We will defeat the Resistance, but overconfidence will serve no purpose for us right now."

The two of them making it back to the Supreme Leader's side went without saying. The Dark Jedi wouldn't allow anything to get in the way of that, no matter what they encountered here or on the way, regardless of his injuries.

"They won't get much more out of FN-2187," replied Ren, gloved hand gingerly brushing hair out of the burn on his face. "I doubt he's in any state to talk after the injuries I inflicted."

If nothing else, he was satisfied with that part of the battle. To think a stormtrooper would dare to strike him... he'd shown the young man his place, and if he ever woke up he would be sure to remember it. Meanwhile, Ren's arm would heal. It had only been a shallow cut.

Hux turned his full attention to him at the comment. He wasn't fully aware of the damage that Ren did to him, but hearing that he gravely injured FN-2187 was definitely pleasing. It a was real shame that he went rogue, Hux heard from Phasma that he was an excellent fighter and surely would've been a good soldier for the First Order. But that possibility couldn't happen, it was too much of a risk to keep him alive.

"How gravely did you injure him?" Hux never got the full report of what happened there, other than the fact that the Scavenger girl managed to defeat Ren in battle. Oh, and Han Solo died, which was definitely a big loss for Resistance. General Organa was probably still mourning him, but that also meant she was most likely going to redouble her efforts in getting rid of the First Order. She was one of the few people on the Republic that Hux did not want to take lightly.

"Far more than I was injured," he replied. "A slash the length of his back, and a deeper one to his shoulder."

Hux had seen the extent of his injuries, seen how he'd been limping from only a lightsaber's graze. He would be able to understand how severe injuries even worse than his would be to a man who wasn't nearly as tolerant of pain (nor Force-sensitive) as Ren was.

Keeping the other details to himself was deliberate; there was only so much he was willing to relay about the sequence of events on his end, as ultimately they weren't that important to the First Order's military. The death of Han Solo, the defeat of FN 2187, his injuries at the hands of the Resistance—these were the only things the general needed to know. The business of the Jedi was for the Supreme Leader's ears only, as far as he was concerned.

Hux frowned a little at that; he was expecting a wound far more critical than that. While he didn't doubt the power or strength of a lightsaber, it was still far from the confirmation he was hoping for. FN-2187 had escaped death multiple times and somehow came back to ruin several of his plans. He was a cockroach that needed to be squashed and Hux wouldn't be satisfied until he saw him dead with his own two eyes.

FN-2187 was a broken cog in his well-maintained and organized military. It almost felt like he was making a mockery of Hux's training methods and programs just by his mere existence.

He couldn't hide the scorn that crept into his tone. "But there's still a chance that he survived."

The corner of his mouth twitched, lip curling for a brief moment at the other man's tone of voice. The chance that the former trooper would survive was slim but it existed nonetheless. He'd been a little too preoccupied with other matters to consider finishing off an insignificant irritation important.

"Unfortunately," he replied tersely. "But it will be enough to give us more time. We'll crush the Resistance before he ever has the chance to recover and share any other information."

Ren wouldn't allow something so stupid to get in their way. His voice took on the higher note he used when mocking or questioning Hux, reflecting the failure right back onto the general.

"Though I suppose that depends largely on how well your troops perform. Hopefully none of the others will see fit to follow in his footsteps."

Hux didn't like it, but there wasn't much they could do about the traitor now. He grudgingly agreed with Ren that they just needed to wipe out the Resistance before FN-2187 did any more damage by leaking First Order information and secrets. While all of this could've been prevented if Ren just killed him off to begin with, there was no point in bringing that up.

Ren was effective in getting under Hux's skin, anger crossing his expression at both the tone and his words. How dare he question his men, his training methods. It wasn't the first time the Knight had done this, but Hux really didn't want to hear it from him right now.

"I've taken great measures to ensure that other soldiers don't follow the traitor's footsteps." Mostly through more simulations and speeches and reconditioning if even the slight deviation was shown. FN-2187 not only escaped and joined the Resistance, but his actions were like a virus that Hux needed to stamp out before it spread to anyone else in his military. Luckily, Phasma was more than willing to promote loyalty and retrain troops for the First Order.

"I don't need you questioning my ability to control the First Order's military."

Edited 2016-01-17 07:45 (UTC)

"I don't want you questioning my abilities either," he all but hissed in response, a threat barely hidden behind his words. He hadn't missed the look on Hux's face when the troopers helped him aboard the shuttle. It was impossible that the thought hadn't crossed the general's mind—especially with the red streak across Ren's face that doubtless invited it.

"But if we're going to put an end to these sorts of mistakes in the future we're going to have to. I will be returning to my training under the Supreme Leader—I suggest you reexamine your methods as well."

Although he loathed to admit it, Hux knew that Ren had a point in his comments. Yes, he upped the training that the stormtroopers were going through, but that wasn't a 100% guarantee for fixing the problem. They tried that before with FN-2187 and he still ended up betraying them in battle.

Perhaps Phasma was correct about having troops experience some combat that wasn't just simulations. Maybe establish that as some sort of standard, a final test. They didn't have the resources to do that, but Hux would figure something out. He had to. Brendol Hux started these training methods and he would make sure that they were still a standard for the First Order.

"I'm taking full responsibility for FN-2187's betrayal-- just as I expect that you'll take responsibility for letting the girl get to Luke Skywalker." There was definitely some mockery in his voice, a slight sneer on his face as he looked at Kylo.

The girl was probably with the last Jedi by now. She had a connection to the Force and a map to Luke Skywalker. There would be no reason for the Resistance to not use Rey's abilities to their advantage.

His jaw tensed as he looked away, back to the fire. He could not deny that the droid's escape was his fault, even if he could not possibly have foreseen the scavenger girl's resistance to his interrogation attempts. To think he'd been so close to everything he'd been looking forward to—even the original saber of Darth Vader had emerged—just for it to squirm out of his grip. He was livid. At the Resistance, at the girl, at himself.

"I will personally make sure the threat of Skywalker is eliminated," he replied, insistent. He had a reputation to uphold—and he intended his title of Jedi Killer to be absolute. He would destroy the last of the Jedi, and in time the girl would see the truth and come to his side, or else die.

Hux looked at him for a few more moments before returning his gaze to the fire as well. There wasn't much else he could add to that; he didn't doubt that Ren would try his hardest to make sure that Skywalker was a thing of the past. Hux trusted Kylo that much at least-- even though he disliked him on a good day.

His earlier anger and irritation left him, leaving the general in his usual mood: calm. Thinking about their next move, analyzing different scenarios and possibilities and what they could do. It helped him to concentrate, soothe some of the anxiety that he felt. Better than just sitting here and staring up at the sky and being completely unproductive.

If he was at least partially prepared for whatever news that the scouters will bring, then he would at least have some control of the situation.

Hux's silence allowed him to retreat into his thoughts again, but this time he managed to keep the turmoil in his mind from surfacing. He simply sat quietly staring into the fire, meditating on his master's training.

It was two more hours before the troopers returned with the information they'd sought: it would take them a few days to procure transportation, if they wanted to get a ship that couldn't be tracked. Something could be acquired sooner if they wanted to risk being detected, but even Kylo wasn't willing to take it. Not after the loss of Starkiller Base.

Assuming Hux would feel the same about it, he simply returned to his thoughts. They should probably get some rest soon—though Ren wasn't certain he wanted to sleep around the others at all.

The choice was obvious: they would bide their time here until they secured a ship that had a harder time being detected. While there were risks for both decisions, Hux would rather wait out a few days than chance getting blown up by the Resistance again. They might not be so lucky next time. Besides, this was a big planet and they could most likely escape detection for a bit longer.

Honestly, they had a better chance of survival on the ground.

Hux dismissed his men once they were done with their report, satisfied for the time being about the information. Most of his anxiety was gone now and he was starting to feel tired, but he first turned his attention back to Kylo.

"Go to sleep."

Ren's gaze turned to Hux when he spoke, his expression impassive. When he replied, there was a definite pride in the way he lifted his chin, despite the fact that it was, considering his exhaustion, a completely reasonable request.

"I don't follow your orders, General."

The Dark Jedi rose to his feet with some effort, the few hours of rest enough to dull the pain to the point he considered the attempt to stand and walk worth it. As far as he was concerned, he didn't need the heat of the fire, nor any of the guards, nor any of Hux's conversation. The only thing the general and his soldiers were good for right now was acquiring the transportation they needed, and that wasn't going to happen for some time.

Clearly, Ren was so arrogant that he'd rather put his own physical health in danger than listen to him. Hux was sorely tempted to bring back his soldiers just so that he could tell the idiot to go to bed in front of them, but he dismissed the thought. It wasn't worth his time-- it wasn't worth of the time of his soldiers to deal with Kylo when he was being a stubborn fool.

"Very well. When you pass out, make sure you do it in a place where we can easily retrieve you later."

He almost sounded bored, almost uninterested in Ren's stubborn behavior. What was the point of getting mad over his blatant disrespect now? The Dark Jedi was just being so over the top that Hux didn't feel angry. Mild annoyance, yes. But not much more than that.

Ren made a dismissive noise in response as he continued to leave, an acknowledgement that he wouldn't have normally given Hux if they hadn't been stuck in the situation they were in. Perhaps the pain and exhaustion were getting to him.

With the troopers and the general behind him, he trailed silently through the forest for nearly an hour, until the trees blocked out the moons above him, the physical darkness bringing forward darker thoughts. It was, despite their ship's wreckage not so far away, completely silent. The nearest town was a few miles away, and there were no noisy animals nor vagabonds of any sort around.

That meant it was that much easier for Hux and the others to hear the echoes of Ren's screams and the strikes of his saber against the trees.

It lasted for about ten minutes, and the crackle of falling branches and trees sounded a bit after that, but afterwards there was nothing. None of the telltale sounds from his weapon, nothing of his voice, nor anything else from the forest at all. Ren didn't return to the campfire either, and nor would he even as the hours passed. It appeared that someone might need to go fetch him after all—whether that night or the morning after.

Was Kylo trying to attract as much attention as possible?

Hux glowered to himself, his irritation fully coming back as Ren's screams continued to echo through the forest. They were lucky that their ship crashed in a remote location, but that didn't excuse this full blown tantrum. He waved off the somewhat worried questions of the stormtroopers that came up to him; Ren was fine. He was just having another one of his childish fits. At least this time, he wasn't destroying expensive equipment on the Finalizer and making Hux work through more paperwork than he already had.

Even though the yelling only lasted for ten minutes, it felt like hours to Hux. He was very thankful when it finally stopped; the silence felt like a blessing after all that noise. Maybe the idiot finally calmed down after destroying some trees. Destroy things usually made him feel better. So, Hux figured that he was fine now.

Except that Ren wasn't returning. Not even when hours passed by.

Hux frowned, looking back at the forest where Ren disappeared. What in the blazes was he doing out there? Did he get eaten by something? Or maybe he just passed out. If this was any other time, he would've just let him rot in the forest, but he couldn't really leave him out there when Snoke expected Hux to bring Kylo to his current location.

It seemed like it was Ren's goal in life to make Hux's miserable. Sure felt like that sometimes.

The general stood up with a scowl and he waved off the questioning looks from the troopers. He needed them to keep patrolling and covering each other. Besides, Hux wasn't helpless; he had his blaster in case anything went sour. Somehow it was the second time in a week where he had to find Ren's sorry ass and bring him back.

Apparently, being a general of the First Order now included the duty of taking care of an emotionally unstable Force user. Just perfect. Nonetheless, Hux started to make his way into the forest.

It would take the general some time, but the smell of scorched wood would help guide him towards the area that Ren had decided to wander off to. Thankfully none of his strikes had started any fires, and the smoke they left behind was minor enough that it wouldn't make the location particularly obvious to anyone looking for them.

At first it would be difficult to spot him, given how dark his robes were, but Hux would find him lying on his side, huddled amongst the roots of a tree that looked like it had taken a bit of a beating. Some of its branches had even fallen on top of the Dark Jedi, signaling that he'd fallen very quickly after his outburst. It was far too dark to see it, but the wound on his side had opened; the general would be able to smell the blood that soaked into his robe if he came within arm's length. His saber still rested in his right hand, though it had thankfully been deactivated.

The fact that his chest rose slowly was an indication he wasn't dead, at least. He was merely asleep.

Miraculously, no fires have started since Kylo Ren decided that he wanted to take his frustration out on some trees. Really, his temper was getting out of hand. Ren was extremely fortunate that his anger hadn't led to something worse, although perhaps it should someday. Maybe he would learn that throwing fits wasn't an appropriate reaction in any scenario.

It was embarrassing being near him, when he was the epitome of control and calm.

Hux held back a sneer as he looked at the rather pathetic form resting on his side. Of course, he would pass out in the middle of a forest after making such a scene. Well, there was no point in leaving him here, especially since Hux came all this way to retrieve him. The general walked closer to the fallen Jedi, his nose crinkling when he smelled the blood coming from his clothes. Fantastic. He reopened his wound. It couldn't get any better.

He mentally weighed the options of waking him up or just picking him up. On one hand, he really didn't want to carry this idiot but on the other hand, he didn't want to talk to said idiot either. Both options were quite undesirable, but Hux had to make a decision anyway.

He was going to try and carry him.

Well, before he did that, the general knelt down by Ren and carefully pulled the lightsaber from his hand. He didn't want him to suddenly wake up and stab Hux through the chest while he was carrying him. That would be such a stupid and embarrassing way to die and he would find a way to haunt the asshole for the rest of his irritating life if he did.

Ren would probably wake up while he was moving him, but Hux was just going to feebly hope that he didn't. Maybe he'd just be unconscious enough that he wouldn't notice. After heaving one last sigh, Hux grabbed Ren by the arm and tried to lift it over his shoulders, so that he could start pulling him back to their makeshift base.

Though his fingers were still curled around the hilt, it was loosely enough that Hux had no problem taking it without disturbing the man's sleep. His attempts to pull Kylo up, however, were a different matter; after his arm was around Hux's shoulders, his brows knit together and he let out a lethargic groan. Up close, it was even more obvious what a mess he was—even aside from the dirt on his face and the leaves and sticks that clung to his hair and robe, the slash on his face had clearly opened in places as well, trails of dried blood stuck to the bridge of his nose and his jaw.

The general was lucky Ren was still drowsy and in a lot of pain, or else it was likely he would have been attacked, even with the saber out of reach. It only took the slowly waking man a few moments to realize what was going on; he'd become familiar enough with Hux's presence over the years to recognize it even without looking.

"Hux," he said, hardly above a mumble, his eyes still closed. His voice was almost scratchy. "What are you doing."

The groan wasn't a surprise, even though Hux wished that Ren would stay asleep during the entire time. Guess he wasn't so lucky. Regardless, he continued to keep moving, since they needed to return back to base as soon as possible. Ren's wounds have reopened and Hux needed to bandage them up before they became worse.

"Taking you back to camp. You passed out by a tree after causing your usual senseless destruction." Hux couldn't help but add that last comment, even if it was completely unnecessary. He was just annoyed by Ren's antics. "Your injuries reopened and thus need to be redressed as well."

Because Ren had to make things even harder for everyone around him. It was what he did. "If you're upset about this, you only have yourself to blame."

The knight let out another grunt of effort as he was forced to his feet, leaning almost his full weight on Hux. The general seemed to be making a few assumptions, he noted sleepily.

"Is there an actual need for me," he replied in that same tired mumble, "or is my absence really so distressing for you."

If he wasn't needed, why was he being moved? His injuries would close by themselves if he was left alone, and being dragged around like this was going to make them worse than they already were. At least he didn't have to open his eyes.

"Y-You were gone for hours." Hux huffed, unable to hold back a slight splutter at the accusation. He was worried for a good reason, okay. Snoke wanted his dumb apprentice and Ren was passed out in the middle of a forest with open wounds. Not only was he open to attack, but he could've froze or caught some sort of illness. All of that would be blamed on Hux, probably.

That was how these things went.

"I've been ordered to bring you to the Supreme Leader. If you suddenly disappeared or died, all the blame will land on me." He didn't need any more blame thank you very much. "And don't tell me that you would've been fine."

Ren finally opened his eyes to look at the man carrying him, regarding him with an expression that was too tired to actually show any emotion.

"I would have returned on my own after getting enough rest," he replied in spite of Hux's demand, "but you decided to take that from me."

The idea of the general attending to him because he was wounded was partly humiliating and partly aggravating. Even if Ren begrudgingly appreciated his help in the escape from Starkiller Base, he was of the mind that Hux needed to mind his own business. (It would be easier to hide his weakness that way.)
