[ He's used to the snow. There's nothing novel about it, nothing magical or whimsical, though Ren will admit that there's a certain beauty when it blankets the earth. Pretty to look at sometimes, but otherwise... It's just wet and cold.
But what he can appreciate about it, right now, is how silent it can be when so much life is dormant under winter's grip. That's what he needs right now, if he wants to keep his most explosive impulses in check. And this place, it's certainly trying him. A walk to somewhere quiet and isolated will allow Ren to clear his head and center himself, reach out to commune with the Dark Side. And this time, he'll find some place where he can truly be alone, not like before, when Poe managed to stumble upon him.
This time, however, it's Ren who comes across somebody without intending to. Rey, marveling at the snow, playing with it, enjoying it so wholly and openly that he can't help but feel something just watching her.
Envy, probably. How long has it been since he's enjoyed anything that much?
The Force must have guided him to her. And now he's standing there, uncharacteristically gawky and awkward, feeling like an intruder into something private and personal.
Normally, he wouldn't care. But then, normally his intrusions are purposeful. Not... this.
