[Returning to their galaxy is the only goal in the end, even if it means that their memories of this place might not stick with them. He's heard reports of it and Hux is honestly inclined to believe it. It's not like Kenobi or Anakin Skywalker can change the future now, because then everyone in their future will be affected in some way.
They must return, even if he and Ren won't remember their time together.]
...Yes, although I suppose there's no use in worrying about such things at the moment. [Hux tries to be completely neutral as he talks, but there's a small chill in the air now. He almost seems... saddened? What.] Focus on our current problems and don't be sidetracked by the unknown possibilities.
[Even if a large part of him wishes the memories would remain, the rest of him realizes just how dangerous that would be. How getting so attached to Hux, to the point of the stupid sentiment he feels overtaking him, would not be tolerated, even if it weren't immediately harmful. It would put the both of them in danger, mostly Hux, and Ren hates the thought of that now.
But the general is right. They need to focus. On their current problems.]
[He just has to remember the First Order and the galaxy at large is far more important than any attachment he might have. Hux isn't just going to abandon his life mission and all of his training just for simple sentiment. Individuality is unimportant.
But for right now... it's okay. They aren't with the Order or in their galaxy. Defeating the New Republic is not their goal right now.]
What is it? [He seems curious, wondering what Ren wants to ask of him.]
I'm going to contact my parents tomorrow. To have them come here and tell them I killed Han Solo.
[His expression somehow stays neutral, for the most part. But the breaking down over it will come later. He has to save his energy for the confrontation, anyway.]
It would be better for you to keep to yourself while I'm doing that.
[Hux looks surprised by that. For the longest time, he thought that Ren wasn't going to go through with it, especially since he's been trying to become closer to his parents here. Revealing this piece of information will undoubtedly drive some wedge between them, although he couldn't care less about Ren's parents. He's mostly just concerned with Ren.
Because he needs him to be stable-- who is he even trying to fool now? He's... just worried about him.]
[Well, he's definitely not going to argue against this. The less he has to deal with Organa and Solo, the better. Maybe he'll... grab Ren his favorite tea or something afterward, to maybe lower the destruction that is going to happen.
Yes, he can't have their house be damaged because of this.]

Decided to let them know the truth?

[Some of the color seeps out of the chair he sits in, and his voice is dull as he speaks.]
It's allowed them to maintain false hopes about me, about all of us. I intend to rectify that. For good.

I'll make myself absent during that time.

[Ren looks away, and his voice becomes less harsh as some of the tension leaves his shoulders. His response is significantly quieter.]
Thank you.
