a step closer , a tip of his head in idle curiosity . something was … off about her . nearly the same something that was off about him – hiding something . she’s hiding something important from him . the troopers that had brought her aboard the finalizer seemed to be weary of letting her be free in the interrogation room but those were ben’s kylo ren’s orders : they had to do as they were told , and so they did . there were only two seats , one occupied by the princess and one holding the weight of the prince’s hand . eyes narrow , brows furrow . something definitely not right . “ i know your name, however that doesn’t tell me who you are . ” his brain begins to sort through the information he was given at a rapid pace , piecing together the lackluster shards ; princess , aminali , naboo — grandfather , grandmother , mother — he is leia’s only child — luke , and his affairs were never of interest to ben but now it seems they could be . was this a cousin sat before him ? he had no way to be sure other than to ask , but the newly acquired hypothesis doesn’t change his expression . blockade on his mind builds up higher as he leans an inch closer , awaiting response .
Naltalda knew that Kylo was waiting for her to tell him the truth. It was life or death if she told him her parentage and the revelation of them being related.

With that, I do not want to make any deals with you... You might as well kill me ”
