Kylo Ren took the brandy, and just stared at the bottle for a moment. His expression was a bit lost, as though he were chasing down a memory that was just outside his reach.
There were things he wanted to say, but he just... couldn't yet.
He opened the bottle and sniffed it. He almost chanced a taste, but then saw his father walking back with a couple of pills in his hand. He looked at the pills, at Han, and then back again. Hesitantly, Kylo reached out to take them, but suddenly decided against it by knocking Han's hand away.
He couldn't afford to let his mind be purposefully clouded, just in case. It was too much trust that he wasn't willing to give. But he did take a swig of the brandy before holding the bottle out for Han. It burned on the way down, a subtle distraction from the burn of disinfectant on open wounds.
"...Here I thought you reveled in all kinds of aftermath."
