[Hux is not a man of worries or anxieties, always confident in the knowledge that whatever he does is normally always right. Except now he's not feeling quite so cocksure when Ren practically drags him towards the shuttle ramp. Everything around them is now blatantly collapsing and Hux can barely tell if the roaring in his ears is the wind or the sound of the ground and trees finally giving way. It's too close and enough to have the general breaking out into a cold sweat when they finally get on board the shuttle.
Too close.
Even as the shuttle starts on it's trek for the outer rim, Hux can't help but stare at the large sun that now stood where the base once was, disturbed by the idea that had they been a minute later they'd be dead. The general rarely put feet on the ground and now he was almost regretting doing as much. Direct orders.... The medical staff descend upon him after being deflected by Ren and Hux simply ignores them as they quietly fuss. Unlike the other, Hux simply retreats momentarily into his own thoughts, already trying to think up what excuses they can give Snoke that won't result in one or both of them being flattened.
Ren would get it the worst. The force user may think he was untouchable due to his status, but Hux suspects that between the pair of them, Ren is now the expendable one. With the surface of another force user, one stronger without training than the knight, Snoke would be an idiot not to use that. Somehow that thought irks Hux more than the base being destroyed. Were they all so easily cast aside in the name of some mumbo jumbo force bullshit? He hopes he's wrong, but the sinking feeling in his stomach persists.
The medics are finished before Hux even realizes and he eventually tears his gaze away from the sun to glare daggers at Kylo Ren.]

You are ridiculous.
