You should know where to find me.
But if you leave a message here, I will see it.

Call | Maybe not when Ren is pissed already...

[craftpunk]

Oh, good. You picked up.

How's our friend doing? Everything working out just fine?

[ It's woden. The amount of care is much less than the question implies. ]

since when has woden ever had good timing about these things

[photophobic]

I haven't heard anything that gives me cause for concern, and we both know if I had, I wouldn't wait for you to ask me about it.

What do you want?

[craftpunk]

Yes. You're rather protective of him. I assume this means you care about him a great deal.

Are you like that with everyone from your world?

[photophobic]

Why don't you ask Dameron how protective of him I am.

[craftpunk]

Then you understand. When important figures arrive, how one could be... protective of them.

[photophobic]

[ A pause.

And a laugh.

He had been so sure that this posturing was about someone Ren cared about. ]

I see. Yes, I understand. But do go on.
I'm curious what you think would stop me from contacting her again.

[craftpunk]

I don't care that you contact her.

[ It's not too fast, but it's sharp. Clearly he does care, but he's being magnanimous about it. ]

I care that the contact has anything to do with me. Do what you want, but leave mention of me out of it. In any form.

[photophobic]

Listen to me very carefully.

[ Yeah, this was... not a good time for this, Woden. ]

I will do whatever I like. I will speak with whoever I want to, about whatever I wish.
Fortunately for you, I have very little interest in sharing my secrets with others, and you are far from my favourite topic of conversation.

Don't try me, Woden. You won't enjoy the results.

[craftpunk]

[ It's a long moment, while Woden considers how to proceed. He could push it, but he won't. Kylo knows he won't. Kylo knows that he is properly cowed, properly controlled due to the hold he has over him.

He grips his fist. The boy doesn't understand the meaning, then. He can claim ownership over Eli all he wants, but he has no idea what it means for someone to be his.

When he speaks up, his tone is musical, light. As if he is completely unbothered by Kylo Ren's statement. As if this isn't a grave insult, but also, still not what he wanted. He's being magnanimous, after all. ]

Well then, we will have no conflict. Thank you, for keeping this quiet.
