rewatching some of the master episodes idk

[tapping]

You know, I really wish you would stop fighting this. We'd get along so famously if you would just make more of an effort - oh, don't shy away now. I've seen far too much for you to pretend this is a new thing - you and I, we go back a long way. You can't just ignore me now, not when I've taken the time to get to know you. Really know you.

You're very neurotic, aren't you? So much anxiety.

I can make it better. Just ignore it. Let it go. Descend into the madness.

It's so much more fun.

Has anyone ever told you, that you are really quite mad, Sir? Why, on a scale of one to ten-- I would put you at a ten to the Ren-th power!

[And now Hux pulls a face as he realises that he had added his subordinate's name to that saying, rather than the third and final "ten".]

sorry for the late, I was out eating dinner!

[tapping]

Oh, now that's just rude. You can't go around pointing out people's disabilities - you might call me mad, but I'd call you cruel.

<sub>[ Oh no, look at how very upset he is. It's a full on pout as he hops up onto a conveniently placed table.

The fact that he's swinging his legs dulls the illusion ever so slightly, but that's fine. He's insane - why not play the part? ]</sub>

Oh, no, it's fine, really; I understand the need to eat, after all!

[Hux smiles slowly, clearly not resenting being called cruel, nope, not at all.]

You flatter, sir, you really do....

Why, with half a chance...

[His face falls quickly, his lips pursing tightly as if to keep his words inside. Briefly he considers how to finish that sentence, that did not sound like flirting or some such nonsense, to his Storm-Troopers: lowly, lubricious sorts that they were, but then he shrugs and just -- smiles again.]

[Oh, now isn't this a trip down memory lane?]

You're really going about this the wrong way, honey. Just get them to relax. Unwind. Sometimes you need to give a clock a wee bit of a smack before it'll tick again.

I really wouldn't encourage them, if I were you.
