[That answer isn't much of an answer. Impatience and frustration flare up, a momentary and overwhelming impulse to demand something straightforward. He does little to hide it-- and how could he? As Kylo says, the Force is unavoidable-- but he tempers it, thinking of his son's gaze, bright and intent even in the flickering little holo, his irrepressible laugh. Patience is hard-won, but it's important enough here that he's trying like hell to follow.
If he had a choice-- well, what choice could he make? He doesn't understand the Force. There's nothing he could do, in that regard, to teach the boy. Wouldn't Leia and Luke take the lead there?
But it's not everything. Still. It's what Kylo won't let go of. So maybe he has to understand. Shaking his head, he follows his son's gaze.]

I have a choice. I'm trying to understand, now.
