He had gone back to doing other things. Including some training. He had been going over some other things that were on his plate. There were not any missions that Snoke was going to send him on. He was still trying to figure out what to do in regards to the map that would take him to his uncle. He looked over as his data pad vibrated. He looked over at the message.

He was looking at stats in front of him.

{Text} She is fine

{Text} If you see any drastic changes get a medic

[hosnianleft]

Over the course of several hours, Rose had hardly stirred in her sleep. A medic had come around periodically to make sure her vitals were stable. On the charts, they appeared to be fluctuating but nothing seemed to indicate a problem.

It wasn't until later when Rose finally opened her eyes again. The headache from earlier still persisted. Her body ached all over. She looked over and seen that there was a second undisturbed cup of water sitting on the makeshift table beside her cot. The room still felt as if it was spinning. She rolled over onto her side and stared blankly at the door of the room. The cloak still laid across her like a weighted blanket. It offered a sense of security in both that she was safe, and that she still was trapped.

She slowly sat herself up on the bed. The more vertical she got, the worse her vertigo had gotten. She leaned her back against the wall and rested her head against it. Rose was almost certain that she could sleep the day away if someone let her at this point.

[legends-and-savages]

Kylo looked at her not that she could see it. "I could see it, but there is something more I'm sure." Kylo said. They could be using the Force on her, but that was not something he was going to be keeping that close.

"Yes." He said. "You have information that we want." Kylo said. "There are plenty of stories that are true, and I could talk to someone if you really want to experience it." Kylo said. "I make no decisions on you I'm just here for a conversation."

[hosnianleft]

Rose pursed her lips together as she shifted her gaze from his mask to the floor. Being treated worse was something that she did not want on the table. She tightened the cloak around her as thoughts began to flood her mind. Every word, every possible outcome was starting to come to her.

His cloak sat heavy on her shoulders. The weight of the cloth was comforting. It was like a hug she had all but longed for. A warm sign of affection that she would never experience again. "What kind of conversation are we having? Business or personal?" She finally asked, breaking the silence that had fallen over the room. Rose lifted her gaze from the floor, settling on his gloved hands that rested in his lap. "What else are you needing to know? We already determined I don't know what map you're talking about."

[legends-and-savages]

"No it did not." He said. He had seen what some change had done to his parents, but all together they're not the worst example he had ever seen. And really they still did care about each other there was just a lot to be said about their personal lives even he didn't know.

He looked over and followed her gaze. A nod from him. "You're probably right." He said. "It's fine." He said. "We get too far we'll have to find our way back in the dark." Which was doable, but not his favorite thing really. Especially without any light in new territory.

[hosnianleft]

He was right, as he usually was. Rose knew they didn’t have long before they had to head back down back towards the broken ship. She lowered herself and sat down on the ground. The skyline was covered in a myriad of colors against the tops of the trees. It looked magical.

“Do you think we’ll be stuck here long?” She asked, crossing one leg over the other as she continued to look over the vast forest. “What happens if we never get found?”

[legends-and-savages]

"Yes they are." He said. "But that is the way of politics." He continued. And he had learned from the best. Though honestly a lot of those meetings were not necessary fruitful, but he made it work.

"Sometimes there are night out because it helps with some negotiations." Ben said. "But there are a lot of boring senate meetings when the senate is in session, and there are plenty of gatherings as well." There was always something in the social season, and he usually went in place of his mother.

[hosnianleft]

Rose nodded her head along in agreement as she took a sip of her drink. “Sounds like overall, it’s a lot do negotiations in general.” She tapped her foot against the side of the bar as she continued, “Is this something that you pictured yourself doing at ten years old? Being in the Senate with your family, that is.”

[legends-and-savages]

"There was no torture so it seemed far less like ruining don't you think?" He asked. "I've only ever asked you questions which is all anyone wants here." He continued. He had never participated in the rest of her captivity.

"They have been less invasive then some." He said. That was the thing you could only push so much before it was trouble. He had learned that sometime you needed to be delicate, but sometimes you did need a sledgehammer to do the job. Which is not what he used with her.

[hosnianleft]

“I truly find that hard to believe. Being sedated, electro therapy, those are all things that seem high interrogation and invasive.” She paused, and tilted her head slightly as she looked at him.

“So you’re telling me that this entire time I’ve been treated with kid gloves?” She found that very hard to believe. “Why, though?” She asked, lifting her gaze to meet his. “I’ve heard stories, horror stories, about people that have been taken captive. I didn’t think I’d be some sort of exception. You don’t seem like the type to make those.”

[legends-and-savages]

This entire thing was complicated. Even he knew that in the end it may not even really matter. But he wasn't going to say those words out loud to Snoke. He should be focusing on getting the map not interrogating pilots on things that his mother would change and probably had already changed.

He didn't know why he had left his cloak with her, but he had. He had told them to keep her monitored until she was better, and if she did wake up he was to know about it.

It was going to be a few days before they went back to try to get back in the room to ask questions.

[hosnianleft]

The headache that had settled at the base of her head throbbed. It seemed with every breath a new wave pulsed through her like a sharp knife. Rose peered her eyes open and seen a glass of undisturbed water sitting on the makeshift table beside her prison cot. She stared at the water, debating on if drinking it would make things worse or if it might help. The overwhelming feeling of fatigue won and she decided to stay wrapped in Kylo’s heavy cloak. She closed her eyes. It seemed that was the only way the room stopped spinning.

Meanwhile, one of the guards was watching her closely, as instructed by Kylo. One he noticed that there was movement that didn’t appear to be her sleeping, he tapped a quick message on his data pad to Kylo to alert him she was awake.

[text:] She is stirring

[text:] Please review her stat’s and let me know if a medic is required.

@hosnianleft sent:  'When exactly did you decide not to ruin me?' (For Kylo Ren)

YOU CAN NEVER TRULY HATE SOMEONE WITHOUT LOVING THEM. | Accepting

Kylo turned at the sound of her voice. "What makes you think that I've ever tried to ruin you?"

[hosnianleft]

Rose tilted her head to the side in confusion as she looked at Kylo. "You don't consider the several interrogations trying to ruin someone?" She asked, fingertips tightening on his cloak that hung across her shoulders. It was heavy and it brought a warmth to her skin that she had been missing for what seemed like months.

"With how invasive the interrogations are, one would assume that you're trying to ruining someone. People don't ruin others just because they had nothing else to do on a Tuesday afternoon."

[legends-and-savages]

"That's good." Ben said. A nod from him as he sat down. There was for a second considering if he said his name if it would speed the process up, but it was about the time they were spending together now. Ben made a small gesture to the bartender to get his own drink. "Some things accomplished, but there are always meetings. We want to make sure that everything is best for everyone." They were not going to win every battle, but they could make some wise moves.

[hosnianleft]

Rose crossed one leg over the other as she shifted in her chair, turning fully towards Ben so she could focus on him. "Meetings are always never ending it seems," She grabbed her drink and pulled it to her lips. "It always seemed that way for my parents at least."

She took a sip of her drink before setting the glass back down on the wooden countertop. "So, what's a normal day for you? I assume early nights out aren't a normal thing in your schedule."

[legends-and-savages]

A nod from him. "No it does not." His mother did much of the same and he had been training with his uncle since he was young. "Ah that might be my fault." He said. "We haven't really talked about it, but you don't have to change anything about your life." He said.

He hadn't been in a lot of crashes, but he knew how to lessen damages in a crash. That was all of his dad really. A soft sigh all the same as he looked around still trying to figure out where exactly where they were. Hopefully it wasn't going to be a long time that they were here. He knew his mother and she'd come looking before long.

"Yes we did." Ben said. There was at least that. It was at least a small bit of a good thing he would like to think. He kept an eye on her as he continued to scan the horizon.

[hosnianleft]

"a little change never hurt anyone." said Rose as she examined the area around them. She was glad to hear that there were going to be no major life changes, but apart of her anticipated something. She walked around the small plateau and looked around.

They were high enough to see the tops of some trees they had surpassed on the way to the top, but from the looks, Rose could tell they were not even at the top of the hill. It appeared the hill they were on was apart of a much larger mountainous chain. She walked to the edge and scanned the scenery. Everything was green as far as she could tell. The forest looked healthy

Rose glanced up at the sky and the slowly setting sun. "If I had to guess, it'll probably set within the hour," She said, turning back towards Ben. "What do you think about this spot?"

[legends-and-savages]

"Right." He said. He didn't buy it, and he was sure his tone would convey that. She was certainly trying to be tough which wasn't really a surprise given that he knew his mother wouldn't allow just anyone in to help her.

"What kind of negotiation?" He asked. They should not be negotiating with each other, but if she could just give him something well that would be worth it.

He'd been about to answer her when she passed out. A sigh from him. The sound distorted. He stood and considered her. He couldn't leave her here, and he wasn't going to take her back to her cell. He would take her down to the medbay.

[hosnianleft]

Everything was still spinning as Rose started to come to. Beeps and noises from the monitoring machines sounded periodically. One read her pulse, heart rate, and breathing respirations while another was an IV machine hooked with medication. Something heavy pressed over her entire body. Rose peeped opened one of her eyes and seen a familiar black cloak covering her. Kylo’s cloak was heavier than she would have anticipate it to be but god, was she ever warm. She sighed as she glanced around the room she was in. The room was dimly lit, the lights turned down for her to sleep.  She glanced at the back of her left hand where an IV had been placed. She raised a single brow before she laid her head back on the pillow. She was tired.

Kylo had saved her. Again.

Possibly because of the information she had but, she could still remember his words. Everyone had an expiration date and she was still nearing the end of hers. As much as Rose wanted to rip out the IV and leave, she knew she couldn’t. The medical ward was under consistent supervision and Rose just didn’t have the energy.

She grabbed a hold of Kylo’s cloak and pulled it up over her shoulder as she rolled onto her side. His cloak was warm, and the weight of it felt comforting like a hug. She sighed as closed her eyes, trying to catch a few more minutes of sleep before they wake her up again.

[legends-and-savages]

"I mean there are worse ways this trip could have turned out." Ben said. "None of which I am actually going to say out loud." He said. Because the moment he did well it was more likely to happen. It had turned out a time or tow like that honestly. "You know you could ask my mom or I could ask her for you if you wanted time off."

"Well when your mother is in the Senate and your father does odd work you get a little more leeway." Ben said. "But I could get why someone would want to keep you close." He said. His parents could be overprotective as well.

"I mean I don't know if I would call it a new power arrangement." Ben said. "Just a marriage really not much really has to change." Or at least not from what he had been told. "I have no idea." He said. "My parents' honeymoon was interrupted by saving a whole planet." Ben said. "So hopefully that doesn't happen with us."

[hosnianleft]

“I think they were just extra protective because of their positions in the Senate. I’ve gotten more freedom as I’ve gotten older, but I think as a parent, that side never truly goes away.” Rose shrugged her shoulders a bit. “ She thought back on the contract arrangements between both houses. Rose pursed her lips together in thought for a moment. “Ah, that was my misunderstanding. I honestly haven’t been told that much about the circumstances surrounding the marriage. But, that makes me feel a little bit better at least.”

After climbing for what seemed like a while, the top of the hill started to come into view.  She couldn’t believe they had made it. Before her she could see the forest below them. Everything was in various shades of green. Everything looked alive. She could see the destruction their plane made as it landed. With as hard landing as they had, Ben seemed minimize the damage as much as he could.

“It looks like we made it in time for the sunset at least.” She moved ahead of Ben and started to scout out the perfect spot for them to sit.

[legends-and-savages]

Ben took a deep breath as he stepped out. This was hopefully going to go well. He at least thought it would considering that they seemed to have something in common. He didn't know a lot of people, but he was sure plenty knew him. So he nodded to a few people as he walked in.

He started scanning for her. He spotted her by the bar and started toward her. "Hello." He said as he approached her. "I hope you haven't been waiting very long."

[hosnianleft]

Rose lifted her head from her phone as she heard Ben’s voice. She smiled warmly and placed her phone immediately in her pocket, focusing on giving him her full attention. “I haven’t been waiting long at all.” She grabbed her drink from the bar counter and took a drink. “I think we still have a while for a table. Would you care to join me for a drink?”  She placed her drink back on the counter and focused her full attention back on him. “How was work? Did anything get accomplished or are there meetings again for next week?”

[legends-and-savages]

"I do pay attention." He said. "And I don't get information if you pass out on me." He said. The cup tossed into a bin in the corner as he moved to sit back down on his chair again.

"We can't have that and you know it." He said. Which made him think that he was going to have to make some adjustments if she was going to fall asleep. But there was certainly something to be said about depriving one of sleep and getting what they want. But that wasn't what they were going for.

"You don't need to know." He said. Most of it he could verify himself, but he was almost certain his mother would have changed something by now.

[hosnianleft]

It was growing more and more evident that Rose wasn’t going to be able to sneak anything past Kylo. He seemed ever observant, even when he wasn’t physically standing before her. She rocked her head back and fourth ever weakly against the back of the chair. “-‘m not gonna pass out.” The blonde muttered as she brought a hand up to her eyes. Gently she rubbed the back of her thumb against her eyes, hoping that the action would rub away whatever fatigue was settling deep within her.

She lowered her hand and looked back to Kylo. The room around him seemed to be moving despite her remaining still. Her brows furrowed as she struggled to focus on his increate helmet. “You seem to be a mad of your word,” She spoke low and slowly, as if it was growing harder for her to focus on her words. “But---can we negotiate?”

The Resistance was going to kill her. General Organa was going to be highly disappointed but Rose just wanted to ensure that whatever happened, her parents would be safe.
