[He stares back at him, a little haunted and disturbed]
I'm sorry, I'm still struggling to understand. You. Potentially your brother. And half the people in the universe?
I murdered trillions, but it's still difficult to grasp. I think you may be underreacting.

[An exhale.]
I suppose, when put in that kind of perspective it makes sense. I was going to ask why, but any creature with 'Mad' as an adjective in their name must not have all their senses properly aligned. And it doesn't really line up with our original discussion.

So....indulge me a moment.
If I came across one of these portals to Sakkar and fell through, and you were alive and well there, what would happen?

[He shakes his head in agreement. Hux might be a life-long soldier, but he's not much of a hand-to-hand brawler. Not like Ren or Phasma.]
I think I would want to be useful. Endear myself to the highest authority I could find and then barter a way offplanet to return to where I came from. I'm good at flattery, crawling from the bottom to the top, backstabbing..

Really?
[He seems to brighten at that]
I never thought of it that way. Maybe you're right. It was always a bit of a game, politics within military, trying to figure out who to ally with and who was plotting to murder me.
[Hux tilts his head, curious]
Determination isn't something I've ever been lacking. I came from nothing; I made it to second in command of a cutthroat military hierarchy.
[and that was while being weedy and unassuming. But the Grandmaster is also right; he doesn't have a ton of experience in other areas]

[That sure shuts him up. Hux turns red in the face at just the word, the idea of it]
[He stares down at his hands, because, no. He couldn't do that]
I can't. I'm not....that isn't an option for me.

She sounds fascinating.
[please - any topic change he'll take, away from orgies and his own inability to deal with his asexuality]

[wait wait wait]
She exploded? The Mad Titan didn't murder her?

Your file says you may have some resurrection powers. You didn't think to....?
