[ Dimly, he's aware of Kylo Ren backing away. Withdrawing with a sluggishness that he wouldn't normally attribute to the other man. Their mental link gives him a glimpse of vertigo, the shifting sickness in his stomach. Hux closes his eyes and turns a deaf ear to the buzzing of their minds.
Out of all the outcomes, this is one he hadn't expected. Then again, part of him had figured either one day, they'd kill each other. Too alike at the same time too dissimilar.
His breathing rattles worryingly and he knows if he lays here for too long, the cold will dig its claws in. With a pain groan, he rolls to the side, using one arm to prop himself up. Just as slowly as Ren, he sits up, though his head is still tipped down, letting the rain rinse the blood off his face in rivulets.
Eventually, he dares a glance towards the speeder, still waiting on enough work to be done to shudder to life again.
Reaching up, he swipes blood and water off his face with the back of his hand, ignoring the sting that follows. Everything hurts, but they don't really have time to be sitting around feeling awful about themselves. ]
