( There is always, Kylo supposes, the notion of a decoy within the decoy. Bait, as Rey couches it, in a way. Building a ruse around the assumption that both Kylo Ren and Leia Organa are on board the Millennium Falcon would guarantee more chance of their strategy's success than if they were to be separated, with Organa visibly remaining behind. But bait or no bait, they are still faced with the dilemma of what will happen once the First Order realizes Organa has remained with the Corellians. Perhaps by that point they will be able to scramble more troops and prepare themselves for the consequential battle, another on Corellian soil, but it's a lot to ride on the outcome of an if.
It isn't Kylo's problem to decide, however. Even if he were given input beyond what he's offered today, his and the Resistance's interests are only mutually beneficial so long as they involve the other's escape. If the Resistance is taken down before it can leave Corellia, then logic dictates that Kylo Ren falls into the First Order's hands as well. He prefers not to think of himself as a traitor or an informant as long as he's merely looking out for his own hide. What happens following their success or failure in trying to break atmo and leave the system is a non-issue. Immediate survival is all that matters. )
Yes, ma'am. ( His tone of voice when replying to her is mocking without even having to try, derision rumbling across the channel and translating as easily as it would were he standing three feet from her. ) What was that burst of pain on your end that I got slapped in the face with earlier?
( Through the trees, he can see the bucket of carbon scoring, rust, and old parts coming into view, broken in places by thick trunks and dark, peeling bark. The droid chirps somewhere off to his left and charges ahead. Kylo can't imagine anyone or anything being so eager to get near a verifiable piece of garbage and continues through the forest at a more normal pace. He's at the foot of the ramp before he nudges out at her again, uninterested in running bodily into the Wookie on accident. )
