Ren shifts, nearly using the force to press Hux back into the bed, but the man doesn't make it before he stills and makes a sound Ren had never imagined he would hear from him, and speaks with a tone that makes Ren pause a moment longer than he should. At Hux's voice, Millicent leaves him for her owner, and Ren makes no move to halt her.
Instead, Ren forcefully waves one of the droids off. They could run their pointless scans when he was done. Hux was awake and they were not getting first crack at him.
"The ship is stable." Hux was stable, and that matters nearly as much. Not more. It's entirely for the sake of the stability of the crew that he had stayed and waited.
"You aren't going anywhere. The last thing this ship knees is seeing you in this state." The ship was in enough of a state on its own. Phasma had the crew managed, and both she and Ren would silence anyone who dared to say it think anything of Hux's absence. As far as all of them knew, he was still the one giving the orders.
