[ with the Force, okay, that makes sense. the torrent that is the Force in Ren's head is chaotic, destructive mess, so yeah, training would be good. or Snoke's just a shit teacher.

It's the bit about Anakin that has Sam's head tilting for a moment. ]


Interesting? Define interesting. [ Interesting could be good or could be bad. Anakin hadn't really seemed fond of Ren, so maybe more on the bad side. ]

His last tantrum got a Host killed. I don't need to get out of his way, I need to have him not do it. [ sam's not concerned about himself here. hell, considering how he's not actually happy to have been yanked away from the death he was headed for, sam probably wouldn't have much issue throwing himself in front of a tantrum to stop it from getting brought back to the Nest. ] Or I need a way to make sure it only happens in a safe environment.

I'm surprised the Force has sides, honestly.

[ which is half absent minded commentary. from what Sam's known of divine universal forces, they're above concepts like good and evil, things that men dream up. but there had definitely been that stark duality in Ren and what he'd experienced of the Force while in his mind.

it is what it is. no point arguing it. ]
So Anakin's on... what? The nice people side of the Force?

[ is that what it is? he doesn't want to say 'good', for the fact it just slams Ren right into evil, and people are more complicated than that. but that seems to be painted pretty clear already. if for nothing else than the fact he walks around in all black and a creepy looking mask. ] No one's really giving clear details about Avera. I got that Ilde killed someone, and Ren took out a lot of guards, so it came out to bounty hunters, but it looked like self-defense gone overboard, so the blame's pointed to Ilde and Ren.

[ Ren had been pretty clear about his lack of remorse for it, but who even knows what that means. Steve hadn't really given him a lot, either. it'd been frustrating enough that Sam just decided to stop asking. still, the last part has a sharp laugh coming from him. ]

I doubt anyone could control him. You'd probably get yourself killed for trying. [ because Sam knows what the recoil from control looks like. catastrophe. ] I'm asking how to reason with him. Before bodies start dropping.

[ Sam's attention is rapt, taking note of all the details he's given, and even if it isn't a sure-fire, fool proof methodology for handling Ren's fits better, it's advice that will help (and that he'll screw up with a bit later).

while he doesn't pick up on the tension that Hux starts to build, Sam's settled with the conversation ending there, and genuinely grateful for how much he'd been given. any insight is helpful, and he hadn't been expecting to have all the work done for him at all to begin with.

After all, the conversations they'd had previously had been enjoyable, and mostly civil. It'd told him a lot about the man. ]


Of course. You've been more than helpful either way, thank you. [ Sam pushes himself to stand, ready to head back to the training wing, giving a small lift of a hand in parting. ] I'll see you around.
