It's fitting, he supposes, that he should arrive while it's winter on this moon. Though it's a small detail, and ultimately insignificant, as-- other than the snow-- this place has little in common with Starkiller Base.

There's no sense of order in this city. It's loud and the streets are bustling with activity, much of it lacking purpose. Still, Ren needs to get a lay of the land to fully assess his situation here. And besides: he's in need of some essentials, like... food. And clothes.

(Thanks to recent events with the scavenger, his own clothing was deemed damaged and tossed out while he was receiving medical care at the hospital here. Now he's down his one-and-only outfit and has some new scars to show it.)

So yeah there's a very tall, very gloomy-looking man making his way through the city, trying to find clothes in the right shade of black to match his #aesthetic, trying to figure out how to pick the right produce at the supermarket (it's not as if he had to shop for food with the First Order), and who knows, maybe trying various teas and coffee (caf, you plebs) while intimidating teen baristas with his quiet intensity.

[ No need to tell Finn twice. That tree's future death is Not His Problem. Extracting Poe has top billing now, so uhhh.

You'll remember the ground, Kylo, please go ahead and get re-acquainted with it while he works on that. YEET. ]

[ Poe throws the lightsaber. It doesn't go nearly as far as he would like, but it's at least out of immediate physical reach.

And then he just sits there for a moment, until Finn tries to get him up.

He's spent.

She refused to admit that any mission could be the end.

Poe puts an arm around Finn's shoulders for support and struggles to get to his feet. ]

[ They actually can walk away like he was saying, and it's good to have that satisfaction.

Well. Sort of walk, sort of drag, half-carry, but they can leave, and that's good enough. Finn doesn't bother looking back: he concentrates on what needs doing, on keeping Poe up and going forward. As one does when they're the guy who threw a weapon down and ignored a dark apprentice to check on Rey once upon a Starkiller. ]

You're gonna be fine. I've got you, you're fine.

[ THAT'S WHAT HE'S HOPING ANYWAY. It's a good hospital, he'll be fine as soon as they get there. ]

[ He focuses on walking, just walking and listening to Finn's repeated assurances, until people start to notice the two of them and someone yells for medical help.

Then he does what he never does. He stops fighting. Just sags against Finn, and laughs under his breath. ]

The hope I didn't see coming.

[ His grip on Finn's shoulders loosens, and he drops. ]
