[ Not wanting anybody to see his face, Kylo switches the video off before pressing record. He takes a deep breath, not really satisfied with having to do this - he should be able to find out more about this place and find the people he is looking for without any assistance - but this place is large and this seems much more efficient. The technology is outdated, the small device similar to a datapad but much less useful and without a holo function. This must be something that pre-dates his parents, his grandparents, even. ]

This place, I'm not familiar with it. It's not where I'm supposed to be, not even in our galaxy, yet...

[ He pauses, taking a breath, giving himself a moment to gather his thoughts and center himself. There are Force users here, more than one, and he's certain of it. He'll search every city until he finds them, burn them down, kill them all until he finds what he's looking for. However, if anybody can give him any information, save him from traveling through each city until he finds them... ]

Tell me where Skywalker and Solo are. I know they're here, I can feel it.

Telepathically? ( Weird. ) As cool as that could potentially be, I'm pretty sure they'd respond if you called them.

( Oh Kara, you have no idea. )

It's not that simple!

[ Nothing is ever that simple with the Skywalker family, but that's a minor detail in this huge tangled web. ]

They may respond, but that doesn't mean they'll reveal their exact locations to me, and that's what I'm looking for. I need to know where they are.

Hang on a second and breathe. Chill.

( She knows a thing or two about having a bad temper and getting frustrated easily, but this is a bit... different. )

Well to be honest, they don't have to; that's up to them, you know? If they won't tell you, then there's a good reason why.

( And now he sounds more than a bit entitled. )

You know they're safe, right? That's good unto itself.

[ He's not really concerned about their safety, but she doesn't have to know that part. ]

I don't need somebody counseling me on how to behave. [ He's a grown man! ] And, if you don't have any information I'm looking for, I see no reason for this conversation to go any further.

Well considering I have a bad temper too, I'm more or less telling you that you're not going to be very productive until you calm down.

( Unless she was beating the crap out of someone, she never was. Though that's not the first conclusion she draws from this; just that he's stressed after just arriving in a new world.

But sure, totally grown up of him! Kara's going to ignore the rudeness as if she hadn't heard it. )

What's your name?

Why do you care so much? This isn't any of your business.

[ He doesn't appreciate the advice; it's difficult to calm down when there is so much happening outside of one's control. The presence of his family, the sudden departure from his own galaxy, it's all a bit overwhelming. And, having a bad temper on top of all of this is just icing on the cake.

Kylo takes a deep breath, tries to calm down because (though he hates to admit it) she's right. So, he'll answer her question, try to calm down because his previous method clearly wasn't going to work with her. ]

My name is Kylo Ren. [ A pause ] Yours?

Because my parents raised me to have manners, and you seem upset. There's nothing wrong with being worried, is there?

( Especially since she can empathize. She'd fried a combat AI so badly with her heat vision once that she'd burned herself out. Literally. She's oblivious to a lot, but not to the fact that he seems stressed about having family here.

It makes her wonder a bit, but she doesn't bother asking any questions. Not now, at least. )

Nice to meet you. I'm Kara. ( Just Kara, for now. ) Feeling a bit better?

[ There's nothing wrong with being worried or showing somebody you care. It's been a minute since anybody has shown that to Kylo, though. ]

I don't know that I'll ever be feeling better as long as I'm trapped on this planet.

[ Being stuck here with his father, who should be deceased, and his uncle, who has been MIA for approximately six years, is difficult, to say the least. He had things he needed to accomplish, things that had already been taken care of... And now? Well, now everything he and the First Order have been working toward seems meaningless. ]

I suppose I would be feeling better if I could locate those two people. It's important... [ He hesitates ] They're family.

Never is a long time; though I'm probably biased. This place is almost a carbon copy of my planet.

( She can't claim otherwise when she's introduced herself by her real name. And she's fortunate (or unfortunate) enough to have no family here to complicate things one way or the other.

She pauses for a minute, and then sighs quietly. If she'd met them before, she could tell their heartbeats apart individually from everyone within earshot. Alas. Probably for the better, since they don't seem to be on good terms if they won't tell him where they are. Whoever thinks they're right or wrong in that mess, doesn't matter. Staying uninvolved is best. )

So in other words: "complicated." I get that. If you guys aren't in a good place, maybe they'll call you, and you can work it out. Life's too short not to.
