[ 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. ]

[ 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.

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