[ Kylo's expression is tight, his eyes intensely sharp- and those who have seen him before will note something else, too. His face is scarred- a long, neatly healed line running right over it, from his brow down to his neck. ]

Thankfully, he hasn't taken his clothing off for the occasion. ]

I'm back.

[ That's it. ]

[ He laughs. It's becoming an oddly familiar response to Persephone's approach- irreverent and blunt.

It's also... flattering. To have her respond at all. He likes it. ]

As far as I know, the First Order doesn't recognise anything equivalent to a weekend.
But yes.
You could say that.

I'm beginning to suspect your dark legion has genuinely shite labor protection.
Welcome back though.

Adequate vacation time is not the main concern of the army of darkness, no.

[ What? He has a sense of humour and a certain level of self-awareness! Just... not a particularly great or well-developed one, admittedly... ]

Thank you.
Have you been Ported out?
It's not an experience I wish to repeat.

[pummelgranite]

Troubling, tbh.
And only once.

[ The first time she came back with everything she'd ever wished for, but also with blood on her hands and a pile of ash where her home and family used to be. The next time it happens may well be worse. ]

[photophobic]

[ He has no idea what tbh means, and that's actually the reason why his response is delayed. It's just a pleasant side-effect that the time taken to look it up lends his reply a little more gravitas. ]

We should meet.

[pummelgranite]

[ Well, it's enough gravitas to hold her attention, at least. (It does not actually take all that much.) ]

When?

[photophobic]

Perhaps later this week. I have business to attend to. Threads to pick up.

[ And immediately following, a question that he hopes makes it obvious that his interest is not idle. ]

Is it finished? Your temple.

[pummelgranite]

Constructed, but not consecrated.

Sunday then. Traditional time for church visits.

[photophobic]

[ He wonders, briefly, what might be involved in consecration, in this case.
And he suspects that might have been her intention. To pique his curiosity. ]

Sunday. Agreed. I will look for you then.

[ and a few moments later, because that brief thought will not leave him alone: ]

Perhaps I will bring you a gift.

[pummelgranite]

[ The answer doesn't take long. ]

Perhaps I'll accept it. See you then.
