It's exposure that makes one tolerant of a poison. Measured, not constant, and in this, Hux is fortunate to struggle not as most Force-sensitive children did— as he himself did— without a hand at his side to still the noise of something so infinite, so hateful. He waits. Grants the General time before bothering to speak.]
Breathe.
