[Hearing Kylo apologize now, when it's far too late, when it's wholly meaningless, only angers the general more. His arm steadies as his face twists into an ugly expression, pushing back the lump in his throat as that familiar rage builds in him. The sharp prick against Kylo's flesh digs deeper again, enough pressure to break the skin and for a small bead of blood to form.
Perhaps worrying, but it still speaks volumes that Hux hasn't gone all the way through with this. There's still some struggle in him, that prevents the general from pushing the blade further.]
I hate you.
[It's said quietly, but the venom is apparent in each word. His eyes bore into Kylo's, even as the other man gently pushes a strand of hair away, not wanting-- not allowing himself to be comforted by such a gesture. Hux can't fall for this, not after everything. He's fine rejecting the one good thing he had in this world, because that same person also ended up being the worst thing to happen to him back home.]
I'm glad you're dead.
[Hux is more than willing to tell himself that Kylo's own fate back home, along with the threat of punishment in this world, stays his hand from finishing him off now. That's all. He's still looking out for himself and his safety. It's better to think this way than deal with this clump of emotions festering in him.]
