[ Ah. Hux truly does wish to know about Ren. The bombing as well, yes, but it seems the man - not brood, perhaps a long-standing companion? wishes to narrow down the order of events that left Ren in such a state. ]

( No, he did not. He held the body, and mourned as you do. I don't know his mind.

I also do not enjoy recounting his actions as though being cross-examined. Can he not answer? )

[ After Sam and Steve, he's really not in the mood to tiptoe. Curt and polite, he's managing himself. ]

( Was there anything more you wished to know about the explosion? I believe we have acquired the video footage. )

[ He does want to know about Ren. They may not be broodmates, but there's a different bond. Years of working together makes them nearly as close as brood. At Darkling's side-step, he thins his lips, thinking over his approach here. While he wants information on both sets of events, he's not ready to move on just yet.

After all, Hux has never been one to back down once he had something close to his grasp. ]

( I would ask and likely get an answer. Though he's in a fragile and grieving state, so I would rather not press the issue when it's still so fresh.

So please, humor me; when did he go from mourning to lashing out? And how? )

[ For now, he'll tiptoe. Until he can't get what he wants. Then all bets are off. ]

( I've seen quite a few different news sources reporting on it. Though, the video footage could prove invaluable if it can be dissected. )

[ Far from fragile, he might argue.

( the steady beat of a heart that knew not shame; the frost-heavy weight of still, dark waters ) - his mind is the forest, treacherous and deep. ]

( Grief and violence are not mutually exclusive, there was no true shift.

However, if I had to pinpoint the moment -- it was directly after I offered him the means to do what it was he desired. )
