(Tell me, have any of you spoken to Cathaway within the last two months.)

[The newer Hosts are the most likely suspects, but perhaps through the link—

Perhaps he feels nothing not because of distance, but because she's chosen to keep him locked out. The possibility is a nagging itch at the base of his skull; he'd rather know for certain.]

[ That catches him off-guard. That's...not what he's used to seeing. Not what he expects to hear, either, really.

Ren's just...Ren. Kind of a dickhead, no manners, leaves his dirty dishes in the kitchen and doesn't care about collateral damage on people who aren't theirs (maybe sometimes on people who are?). Has some good points about the training stuff, sometimes, but rides Sam hard about it and usually seems to consider "too much, time to take a break" in terms of "my shoes are in direct danger of being puked on if this goes any longer."

But that was a compliment, and the feeling across the link is...not so much "dickhead" and a lot more "human."

He's not quite sure how to take that. ]

( Thanks. )

[This time, it's Ren that says nothing - thinks less. For a moment he's there, a reassuring pressure at Sam's shoulder through both the Force and their symbiotic bond, and then he's gone. Retreated back into his own space and whatever misery (and self-righteousness) it houses.

That's enough holding figurative hands for today. Tomorrow. Possibly even the next month.

Or ten.]
