[There is some clear irritation on the other end of the bond, like someone throwing wood on a fire. That had not been why he asked, of course — but the answer she gives after her call out answers it for him. His body language tightens and he goes too silent for someone still meant to be engaged in conversation. In the same breath that she looks away from him, he looks away from her.
There are things he wants to say, particularly about Keith’s notion about how to get a job done, and her choices in teammates. He’d been one step from offering to journey there himself, either to prove his own claims, or to find the true culprit of this nonsense, but it is easier to fall silent and let that particular thread of conversation die, lest he be accused of weakness again.
It leaves another awkward silence hanging heavy in the room. Kylo isn’t sure where to pick up the conversation again. Maybe if he just stays quiet long enough, the bond will pull them away from each other again.]
Ok.
[What else can he say? The bond is still there, forcing them to confront and endure the wall they can’t seem to pass between. Somewhere in the middle of the silence, he has started to tap one impatient finger on the side of his thigh.]
