[There's no audible backlash, but its impossible to miss the way his face screws up in displeasure. Of course it had been Hux, and no doubt he delivered a most gruesome report to the Supreme Leader. How could he hope to defend himself when he was clinging to a Stormtrooper trying to stay upright, after a month of being indisposed himself?]
Is he in pursuit--
[Kylo Ren stutters to a stop as a spasm runs from his upper spinal column straight down to his knees. His muscles were obviously not quite ready to do so much moving.]
[There's something else-- something sharp to her voice when she says it. A sign she's less than fond of the idea of chasing down something so insignificant as a scavenger from a backwater planet, no matter how capable she might have proved to be. Snoke has but one apprentice; he does not need two.] Hux does not think her valuable enough to risk more firepower when we must adopt a more conservative approach.
He has devoted a small reconnaissance team to the task until our path to Skywalker has been secured.
[A surge of anger chased by adrenaline and the abrupt shadow of the Dark Side enveloping him gets Kylo Ren to stand straight, gripping Phasma's pauldron for stability purposes only.
However, judging by the way his arm shakes, he very clearly would be breaking something if he had the capacity to do anything but stand there and snarl.]
That ignorant--they are in possession of the map to Luke Skywalker! The Sumpreme Leader's instructions were explicit! If she reaches him--
[The stab of pain in his side only serves to incite him further, and he instinctively reaches for his lightsaber. When he finds nothing there, he is forced to tangle his hand in his robes.]
