[ maybe it's the voice in his head that belongs to her, maybe it's the feel of her invisible grasp on his throat. most likely, it's both. both of those things make the hair at the back of his neck stand on end. he can't see her gaze for the helmet, but he knows it must be at him. and now, armed with the knowledge of what face lies underneath the helmet, he can very clearly imagine her facial expression.
because he's … well, himself, it's very tempting to ignore her words and misbehave anyway. but he couldn't do it. sure, being punished while being broadcasted could show the resistance the dire situation he's in … but that's not what they need. they know that. they know that it's dire.
what they need, as always, is hope. even if it's just hope that he'll be okay. that maybe he could find a way out of this one, because he already had once and who's to say that he couldn't again?
so he stays quiet. keeps his head down. (literally keeps his head down.) hux's speech goes on and on in the background, nothing but white noise. the only real sensation is the invisible leash around his neck, worse than his actual physical restraints. at least they're real and solid. he can anticipate the sensation he's going to have if he tries to move. in comparison, kylo men's force grip is like a blaster pressed against his head, liable to go off at any moment. ]
