[ Not much sense in putting it off, and the bombing was definitely an uncomfortable reminder that he doesn't have much but balls of steel to fall back on when he can't be Nova. ]
(My schedules are flexible.) [Especially since Angel is asleep, and she's Lexa's other major concern in terms of training.] (We can begin early in the day and get it over with, or later just before we rest for the night.)
(I'll find you in the evening, then. When we return to the Station, I'll want a demonstration of your abilities as ... "Nova" so that we can employ that in your training.)
[While the Bearings are private, she doesn't really think they're anymore equipped for his abilities than they are her symbiote ones.]
(I'm pretty sure by the time we get off this rock the first thing I'm gonna want to do is fly for like an hour straight, so I'll be sure you get to see it.)
[ The Bearings are very unequipped for his abilities, she is on the money. ]
(He wants to use the Force to see if they're hiding anything we should know about. And...okay, to be fair, he'd probably be better at that than me. I'm pretty sure I can tell if anything they're saying is actually BS, but only if it's something they're saying, you know?)
[ In an ideal situation, this would all be an amicable alliance and this kind of thing wouldn't be necessary, of course.
But how often has anything here been ideal for them? ]
(He said he wasn't planning on starting anything, because, you know. That was the first question I asked.)
[ And that, at least, didn't ping Sam as bullshit, but he's pretty sure the problem with Kylo Ren is less about what he plans to do and more about what he...winds up doing. ]
(It would leave the two of us responsible for him should he choose to act out. I can ask questions in a way that provide us the answers we need. We won't be bringing him.)
[The exact words are outside of her vocabulary, but what she means is this: she is not taking Kylo Ren on a leash so they have to babysit him.]
(Yeah, I...kind of get the feeling he doesn't know the meaning of "subtle"?)
[ Which is slightly hypocritical, coming from someone who's routinely accompanied by explosions in half the places he goes and who's brought down a few alien attacks on Earth (even if never on purpose), but Sam's able to put a lid on it here and there. If he and Rocket, of all people, could refrain from shooting their way into Oblitus, he figures he's at least slightly ahead here. ]

Sam's a teenager. He gets how teenagers operate, and Kylo Ren is, as far as he can tell so far, the world's oldest teenager. ]

Technically.]
