He really hadn't expected it to be easy. Did he hope for it? Yes, but after the way Rey had rejected him and turned her back on him, he had honestly expected much the same from Poe. But then again, Rey had always had the Force, she just had never had a clue how to use it.
Though, he supposed that Poe had always had it as well, it had just been a barely there spark that had flared to life when their minds had connected, when he was trying to find out about the droid with the map to Luke. That spark had honestly gotten stronger during the months since then and Kylo Ren had felt every moment of it, though at first he hadn't a clue what it was. Shared emotions had only been the beginning of something that he felt was even stronger than what Snoke had created between him and Rey.
When it had turned into being able to see one another, see things the other saw (though not enough to reveal where Poe was. Not at first.), he had been shocked. Poe Dameron, Force Sensitive. He never would have guessed that, but then he remembered what Luke had planted practically in the other man's back yard when he was a child. Poe had grown up so close to the Force tree so of course it was no surprise that it had effected him.
Still, he had expected some type of resistance from the man, even over their bond but in the end he'd only felt the slightest hesitance when the other had thought about Leia. Which yes, even he had to say that he was happy the man was thinking about her safety and her health. He wanted her as far away from all this as he could get her.
He grasped the man's hand firmly, squeezing before turning to walk back to his ship. Along the way he stopped, looking at one of the troopers. "Stop the attack and retreat. Tell everyone it was on my order and if anyone argues it, shoot them on sight."
Nothing wrong with that. haha
