( Despite evidence to the contrary, particularly in the hard lines of his face even as he rearranges it into something befitting neutrality, Kylo is interested in what she has to say. It's a curious and strange role reversal, although she's not actually offering to teach him anything and seems to be more talking to herself than anything else other than scolding him, but he finds himself paying attention anyway, the bulk of his understanding hinging on terminology that he's picked up on over the years. It isn't comfortable, especially not with his calves and thighs burning as he tries to fold himself into a cramped section of the hold, barely fitting one person comfortably, let alone two, but it diminishes some of the disdain that had been looping between them, cutting down the anger lengthwise while he devotes the majority of his focus to paying attention.
Not an entirely quick study in all arenas, Kylo nonetheless has the propensity to grasp what's being discussed even if repetition will make it stick. He tracks the motions of her hands, the dexterity of her fingers, and turns his hand palm up when she gestures for him to take the tube of sealant, replacing the cap with a twist of his wrist. )

No imagination. ) The panel itself won't seal. The front of it is warped.

Just thought you should know before seeing it, in the interest of not having my head bitten off.
( In terms of bite, Kylo has delivered worse with more. He's tired of fighting with her in this tiny, boxed in space, full of metal bones and wires for veins, pumping oil and electricity for blood. It's doing neither of them any favors, and he would much rather get out in the open somewhere and charge each other head on if they're going to throw down gauges in this way. It also occurs to him that he has more important things to worry about than maintaining or disrupting an argument with Rey, which leads him to stand. Rey has more room to move as a result, and Kylo is forced to remain in the corner until she moves. )
