When Thomas roles over to kiss Rick in the morning Rick turns away and walks out the room.
Techie snuggles and rolls on top of Matt only to be picked up set aside and watch Matt walk out the room
Ash waits outside the door. Patterson cannot be sensed in or outside the house but he cannot leave to look for him. Usually Patterson would kiss him goodbye.
What is going on?
Faraday: Welcome boys care for some tea? I’ll make some.
Flip: Why did you bring us here.
Faraday: I didn’t bring you here. Your vechiles are outside. You can go as you please.
Patterson sides a rubs his hands together.
Pat: I’ve been having nightmares. Ash he was deactivated...but then he wouldn’t-
Faraday gives Paul a leveling look.
A vase shakes in the corner. Then stops.
Ren looks closes his eyes. Then look towards Matt and whispers, “It’s not the force. I feel nothing- more than nothing from him. It’s like a black hole.”
Clyde stares forlornly at the honey. It reminds him of Stens.
Clyde: Oh shoot I’m sorry sir...
Faraday reaches to touch Clyde’s robot arm and then takes back his arm quickly as if he’s touched something hot. He cringes a smile.
Far: Let me find something to clean this up no worries...And you can call me Faraday.
When he returns quickly to his seat, Faraday returns soon after.
He sees line of salt, and grabs a nearby hand broom and sweeps it up.
Rick starts coughing uncontrollably.
R: I-I- I cant breathe...
At home Thomas mopes in the garden. Is it just him, or all of the lettuce leaves are wilting...
M: Bastard let him go!
Matt installs a sharp breath and doubles over clutching his chest. Blood dribbles from the side of his mouth.
Faraday: Sir your bleeding!
Rick recovers enough to breathe.
Kylo uses the force to shove Faraday against the wall. Flip draws his gun.
Kylo gets closer and raises his saber to Farday.
The house rumbles around them. A chandelier falls in the middle of the dining table.
Kylo glances back. And the tightens his force hold on Faraday.
He sighs and steps out of his force hold to inspect the damage. The lightsaber has no effect on him.
Kylo steps back.
Faraday picks up the pieces of crystals forlornly.
Flip lowers his gun.
Hux and Techie sit in Hux’s quarters.
H: So Matt acted strange as well?
T: Yes um- I’m worried something might’ve-where’s Kylo? Are you too fighting again? *sniff*
H:...maybe Matt will come back soon don’t cry.
Thomas sits in the garden basking in the usuless endeavor of unearthing all his lettuce. But there all wilted. Maybe he will give them to the animals.
Clyde breaks the silence.
C:Did you need ta have somebody to help fix it Mister Faraday?
Faraday: ...who would help?
Patterson: I can um. I’ve helped with craft projects before.
Patterson gives an uneasy smile.
The men sit at the table and start picking at the chandelier. Careful to save the broken pieces separately.
Kylo: I have never encountered one like you tell me what are you.
Faraday: ...
Faraday nods unsure of these devices he’s been using.
Paul returns an helps.
An hour later there’s a ring at the door.
Faraday:...
There is an old man at the door with a cane and he clomps inside house.
Kylo and everyone join Faraday and the old man in the entryway.
Faraday stands shocked in his embrace.
Faraday: Abraham...you never returned.
Abraham: I had to crush my enemies darling but I’m here now. You’re just a beautiful.
When they all re-enter the room the chandelier is high on the ceiling perfect and glorious. There’s light that comes through the windows and the room feels young again.
They all have cake and tea
Faraday: It’s strange- I feel-thank you for keeping me company today.
Far: Abe come on! *the door flys open*
Ab: Sucha darling but a bit of a firecracker that one. I’m sure you understand.
Patterson drives everyone else to the airport and then drives home.
There boyfriends will never believe this.
