( He's confident in their landing - and in Rey's talents for flying, even if he's too obstinate to say so out loud in a way that doesn't also act as a scathing insult - to serve as a method by which to confuse the stray they have managed to pick up along the way to Mandalore. Despite her impatience and aggressive nature, Ji's lackluster piloting skills make her a poor candidate for following their path to the exact letter, daredevil antics and all, and although the majority of their trip moon-side had been spent in a tailspin of whiplash apprehension, Kylo had not sensed anyone else as he'd sensed Ji. There's no guarantee as to whether or not there isn't a squadron behind her, waiting to bring up the rear, but that possibility is a bridge they will have to cross when the time comes, if it comes at all.
For a moment, they both stare up into the sky with the intention of spotting incoming chatter, but there's nothing beyond the lip of the mine they settle into, casting the majority of the ship into shadow and giving the appearance of artificial twilight. Rey stands first, but Kylo is quick to follow, breaking off from her in the interest of gathering his own things along with a glowrod that he finds stored in a cabinet above one of the bunks in crew quarters. It flickers ominously when he switches it on but holds true after a moment, and he carries it in his left hand so that his right is free in the event that Ji appears, as he has every belief that she will. There's a canteen near the galley, and with no clue how long this excursion might last or what the outcome might be, he fills it with recycled water - lukewarm - and slings it over his shoulder.
With little else to be gathered, he joins Rey at the mouth of the ship, staring down the length of the cargo ramp into the mine shaft. Dark eyes track a path from the metal flooring up to the bright splash of Rey's gaze, and Kylo nods, striding down the ramp ahead of her. He harbors little love for what they might be leaving behind and as such makes no effort to stop and say any sort of prolonged or even momentary goodbye. If anything, despite the nature of their endeavor, he is glad to be off the Falcon and everything that it represents, and has little to no issue with the possibility that this might be a permanent parting in more ways than one. )
As far as I'm aware, the mines are abandoned. ( And it shows. A few of the structures that denote lodging and office space have collapsed with time and age, though the only thing that has taken care to fill the hollowed out spaces and depressed sections of paneling is dust that has blown in from beskar mining. The possibility that members of the Death Watch are still active within the mines or that the mines themselves are still in use doesn't appear to extend itself to whatever mine it is they have landed in, if the stillness of it all is anything to go by. If anything, they should be able to feel Ji coming from a mile away, and it's with this in mind that Kylo throws a quick glance over his shoulder at Rey. ) Picking up on anything?
( He isn't, but maybe Ji has finally learned to hide herself from him, if Snoke's influence hasn't extended itself again to give her a shield to hide behind. )
