"I mean, you did taunt him about his mother. A very touchy subject indeed." He said, shrugging a bit before glancing at him, locking eyes with him. "There is not much you could do to make me change my mind, Poe. The bond that has grown between us...it is stronger than the bond Snoke forced upon me and Rey. I have already felt the bond I had with her fading out and weakening while the one with you continues to grow stronger every day." He cleared his throat, turning away. "I can feel how strong we are together."

He couldn't help a slight blush on his cheeks all because he knew that these feelings between them, while they weren't strong, they certainly didn't end in Master and Apprentice. It was more than that but he wouldn't speak on that now. It was more of a discussion for later. "I am not known for my patience, but I think I will be fine teaching you. We will just take things slowly. It will be easier like that. I don't want to push you too fast or too hard. That is not the way to learn how to control your abilities."
