Surprise. ( There's dull amusement in the tone he projects across to her. ) I'm more interested in your reasons for being here than I am tracking you down for a rematch. General Organa sending you on a scavenger hunt?
( The question might as well be rhetorical, given that he's sure he knows without having to dig deep what she's here for. While being more or less a hive for thieves, escaped convicts, and people with nowhere else to do, the planet serves as a central outpost for many traveling from one section of this system to the next. Having a heavy hand on it would be beneficial to the First Order's needs, and while those in charge - convicts in their own right - have not necessarily been amenable to talks regarding the military presence and ownership of their people, services, and homes in general, having three Knights of Ren gathered around the table has certainly ensured that these discussions transpire in a more favorable fashion than the last time Kylo set foot on this dumpster of a rock.
It strikes him belatedly how conversational his tone grows toward the end of his question, as if he's asking her what the weather's going to be like the next five or so days. He straightens his posture in the room and shoots a glance out of his peripheral at the Knight standing next to him, who sees fit to leave on the heavy claymore rather than the way Kylo is standing himself. Kylo neglects to make eye contact, which isn't an abnormality, in an effort to keep the others out. )
