It was unsettling how well Hux meshed with this little town in Iowa. Han had shown him how to play cards (or rather, how to play well) and now, Hux was damn near addicted to gambling. He'd disappeared into that crowd at least every other night, not only because it was it fun, but he was also good at it. This style of environment was not a completely new experience for Hux. He'd been to Canto Bight on more than one occasion. But the atmosphere here was slightly more welcoming. The underground drinking and dice-rolling wasn't the only aspect of the town that won Hux over. He also enjoyed the parties. They were a spectacle all on their own. There were lavish houses with elegantly-dressed guests that danced to live music late into the night. And though Hux did not openly dance with many people, there was one partner he'd been missing since New Year's. Hux had dragged Rey out to one of these nighttime parties. Much like with Poe, he would offer his coat to rest on top of hers for the walk over, if she required it. However, once inside the mansion, they were sheltered from the freezing temperatures and Rey could show off her exquisite attire. Hux would then extend his hand, offering it to Rey. "I hear there's dancing in the back parlor," he smiled, "Shall we take a look?" |
