1. I've destroyed stars.

2. I have an orange cat named Millicent.

3. I was 15 years old the first time I killed someone.

[lifetothefullest]

I'm guessing the cat is the lie.

[Because why not the first considering the planets thing, and he can definitely see the third.]

[therewillbeorder]

Millicent is real. She had somehow stowed away on a shuttle and I found her terrorizing a mouse droid so I decided she could stay.

[lifetothefullest]

[...That's oddly endearing.]

The third, then, you were probably eleven or something.

[therewillbeorder]

[Millicent is the best.]

Very close, I was 10 years old.

[lifetothefullest]

[Why. Actually, you know what--]

Why?

[Might as well just ask.]

[therewillbeorder]

It was necessary for survival. If I didn't make an example of them then I would have been perceived as weak.

[lifetothefullest]

[Ah. He assumes this is something similar to what Maketh described, in which case he's not going to judge it. He has plenty to judge Hux for already.

Besides, he really just feels sad about this whole scenario.]

I'm sorry.

[Even if it is Hux.]

[therewillbeorder]

Why?

[He's honestly confused, he's not sure what there is to be sorry over. He survived and was stronger for it.]

[lifetothefullest]

[He's not really surprised that Hux is confused, and that's sad too.]

Because that isn't a situation anyone should have to deal with, let alone a child.

[therewillbeorder]

Perhaps, under normal circumstances but it made me stronger because I had to fight then. I learned valuable lessons through my childhood which have served me well now.

[He was born into the Imperial military, he knows nothing else. He never thought about alternatives before.]

[prophesiedone]

Number three? [He hopes?]

[therewillbeorder]

Isn't it cheating when you already know the right answer?

[prophesiedone]

I could have forgotten!

[therewillbeorder]

You don't forget much though. But you were right, three is the lie.

[prophesiedone]

[If anything.] I wouldn't forget something like that. Even a hardened General like you doesn't need a record like that.

[therewillbeorder]

I'm not ashamed of my record, I've been able to accomplish a great deal already.

[prophesiedone]

I'm not one to talk, but...

At what cost?

[therewillbeorder]

I know I sacrificed a great deal to accomplish what I have, especially at my age. I don't regret it, however, not if I can bring back peace and stability.

[Though there had never been a chance to consider alternatives. He had been born in an Imperial academy, he had been taken onto an Imperial star destroyer and whisked away to the Unknown Regions as a child. His only choice was to survive and that had meant overcoming his weaknesses. He had grown up in space where there had been nowhere else to go.]

[prophesiedone]

Can you? [That is what he seeks too. Will either of them be successful? He cannot allow himself to doubt.

But wondering is different, isn't it?]

[therewillbeorder]

I have every confidence I will. It will not be easy but it will be worth it in the end.

[mismanagement]

Fifteen? I think not, General.

You were certainly much younger.

[therewillbeorder]

Naturally. I was 10 years old at the time.

[requiemshark]

You don't look like a cat person.

[therewillbeorder]

Millicent actually exists, she lives on my star destroyer.
