[That smug feeling is radiating off him in waves, and Kylo finds himself growing mildly annoyed. The only reason the general thinks so is because he hasn't been looking.]
You haven't mastered every skill under the stars, Armitage. What about carpentry?
[Designing and building something by hand, at least, seems like it might be mentally stimulating enough while also requiring physical effort.]
[Hux speaks the word slowly, as if it's the first time he's ever heard of it before. Of course Hux knows what it is, he just never thought that Kylo would suggest that sort of job to him.
So, he's giving Kylo an odd stare.]
No, I can't say I've ever done that sort of work personally. That's always been handled by stormtroopers and droids. [In other words, totally beneath him!! He's a designer, huff.]
[Kylo isn't above using certain manipulations to get Hux to do things that are good for him. That includes challenging his competency so that he can try something new, for once.]
[How dare Kylo insinuate that he can't do something that even droids and stormtroopers are capable of.]
If I put my mind to it, I'm more than capable! I did design Starkiller Base and ensure its eventual completion. [Building a house or furniture is nothing in comparison!]

Then build something complicated, if you're so capable.

[He'll build a chair or desk or something and then use it!! Right in front of Kylo, Hux will use what he has created!! That will show him.]

[Success.]
I'll look forward to seeing your progress, but for now try not to get into any more trouble.
