[ Obi-Wan doesn't quite expect a reply — especially not after their last (and only) interaction — but he's plagued with a purpose. It's likely not to be considered one of Kenobi's better ideas, particularly with common company, but that doesn't seem to matter to the Jedi Master. Nor does the hour, which happens to be quite early in the morning, practically very late to those who haven't slept yet. ]
[ The hours of waiting don't bother Kenobi, particularly because he doesn't realize he's waiting. And when the reply finally arrives, he can at least take amusement from it in that Kylo is probably one of the only people he knows on this ship that actually keeps normal hours. ]
[ If that's what he wanted, Obi-Wan certainly wouldn't call ahead. But he thinks the element of surprise works the same way here, even through text, even if that wasn't his intention. ]
I don't want to fight you. I thought you might consider extending your training. You already understand the Force better than most.
[ If the Force is a spectrum and not only black and white, then Kylo has walked more of its length than any of them. For better or worse, that experience is worth some consideration. ]
[ It's the feeling—frustration like bindings eating into him—when Kenobi blithely ignores what he says that calls his grandfather to mind. He remembers the man's curious, circuitous speech the time he knocked on the door to fling the name Vader like a curse, because Kylo Ren remembers every word Anakin Skywalker says. ]
You don't fool me. I see what you're doing to Anakin Skywalker.
You can't twist him into a version of yourself.

[ It's Obi-Wan's intention to focus on the heart of the matter, of course, but it's fast becoming clear that no conversation with Ren will ever be straightforward. Before he answers, he reminds himself of what he knows and imagines what he doesn't, and then edges forward with that same brand of caution. ]
Force knows I've tried. But his future has always been in his own hands.

He expects a threat of some kind, and expecting it, he finds one--in the emphasis on training, on his being alone here among Jedi. ]
Yes.
[ A threat demands an answer. ]
no subject
Would you consider changing that?

[ Fuming now, he tears out of his seat to pace. The man thinks so little of him he's offering instruction. ]
I want you dead. You should be dead.

Please. That's not true of anyone.

[ At least, now that's the case. Maybe not so much under the thumb of the Council. ]

Why can't we talk about you? Avoidance is unbecoming, you know. And it isn't as if I can't guess why you're so angry.

Avoidance is all you do.
If I see you, I will kill you. If I hear from you again, I will kill you. Have I made myself clear?
