[ No one thought Kylo had the capacity for patience, but it's just one of many things people were misjudging about her. It was expected, given certain... tantrums in the past. But one didn't survive the trials she had or possess the sorts of goals she had without being able to be patient. If one could simply snap their fingers and bring the galaxy to heel then her grandfather would have done so all those decades earlier.
It's patience -- to a degree -- that's kept her from snuffing out General Hux's obnoxious flame and put up with the attempts at undermining her new authority. Unfortunately, he's too useful to kill. She needs him to keep the First Order on track. However, she only has so much tolerance for the snide attitude and the implied digs at her ability to achieve any sort of victory. When he makes a backhanded comment during a strategy meeting about emotion blinding her to Skywalker's distraction on Crait, she's had enough.
Victory, hmm? She would show him victory. While the General was busy soaking in imagined self-importance, she would address one of the First Order's largest missteps.
Patience (and spite) lead her over several weeks to a trading post in the Outer Rim. It's off the beaten path, not somewhere the First Order had in its sights. She knows that's why her quarry sought out the location. An ambush is set up using locals who are easily paid for; they're purely a distraction for any other Resistance members traveling with the pilot.
When the fight erupts at the supply pick-up and everyone's favorite hero eventually makes a run for their ship, Kylo's waiting outside, blocking the path. There's no helmet this time to hide dark eyes that focus on Poe as soon as he's in her sights, or the ghost of a smirk that twitches one corner of her mouth upward before she speaks. ]
oh look, it's poe's favorite force user here to wreck his life some more
