I'm just going to assume this is Hux, what do you need?

I don't know, I've known him a little longer than a year?

[He is now playing dumb, but only sort of, because he doesn't know what point to start being cagey about. Not the part where they just discussed books, certainly, or the fight that didn't last, or even the weeks and months after of carefully trying to figure out the next bit. Sometime past there.]

AWWWWWW.

[TOO BAD, this tiny nugget of information will be added to the COLLECTIVE.]

LOOK, I ACTUALLY CAME TO SAY THAT YOU SEEM REALLY HAPPY WITH HIM. I'VE NEVER SEEN YOU LIKE THAT. I'M GLAD - YOU KNOW - I'M GLAD AT LEAST ONE THING HERE ISN'T TERRIBLE.

[Force, there aren't a lot of loops like the "Bill is being nice" loop. He reacts badly to everyone being nice. Bill is just a layer of weird on top of that.]

He's... good to me.

NEAT!

HEY, SO SINCE YOU HAVE THE INSIDER INFORMATION, DOES HE HAVE ANY KIND OF SENSE OF HUMOR WHATSOEVER OR ...?

[Okay, better.]

He had to work on it a bit, but he's there.

[It occurs to him suddenly that, given Bill's premise, the news that Hux laughs at all Bodhi's jokes might not be all the convincing.]

YOU EVER THINK ITS KINDA EXHAUSTING THAT THIS PLACE IS PREMISED ON TELLING TOTALLY UNWILLING ADULTS HOW TO LIVE THEIR LIVES?

...

I'M GLAD HE'S NOT A STIFF!
