Gallows

With his lightsaber in hand, Kylo can be found training rigorously in various forms. He's careful to practice at a distance from anyone else, should they get too close. Starting his training, feet planted firmly and hand holding his weapon out as if to point it at an unseen target, he swings and swirls the lightsaber in his hands in fluid motions. Each time he avoids hitting the dummy directly, occasionally stopping his blade on either side of the target. The last thing he wanted to do every time he trained was to break a training dummy.

He focuses on more than just his blade work, however, practicing his breathing, the bend of his knees as he strikes, and keeping his body a firm immovable object against his opponent. Eventually he takes a break, brushing his messy shock of black hair from his eyes and shrugging his shoulders, the glowing red light withdrawn into the hilt once more.

During his point of resting, he stretches his arms, reaching down to his toes or crossing them one over the other to loosen each muscle. The rigors of training gave him something to channel his energy into, finding focus in his thoughts through the effort he expends with his blade.

Kirkwall

Having washed the sweat and grime from training away, Kylo can be found exploring the markets and other points of interest within Kirkwall. Lowtown was bustling with life as he browsed the Market District, winding streets drawing his attention now and again as he went from shop to shop. It was far from home, but it was starting to feel as such once the routine had set in.

Stopping at a food stall, Kylo turns over a piece of fruit with a careful gaze as he examines it for any flaws. Eventually he would make his way towards the the next shop, stopping to see the wares that Lowtown had to offer.

"Uh, people who love themselves, that's who." Nevermind the fact that Chloe did hardly anything that proved she truly loved herself. She groans at the reasons he gives, rolling her eyes, shaking her head slightly in exasperation. "I've seen plenty of sun rises. I'm just usually trying to fall asleep when they happen." She didn't like to sleep. Especially not at night. It was easier to pass out from pure exhaustion; less likely for nightmares.

"Besides, Rey's let me pet her mabari anyway, so I don't need to get up that early to do it."

"Trust me when you live on a space ship for months on end, without going to planets except for fuel, you enjoy the chance for a legitimate sun rise. Having artificial cycles just doesn't quite do it." People who actually stayed in one place were enviable, save for Rey who had been a prisoner on Jakku purely for the fact that she had waited most of her life for her parents to come back for her.

The First Order had stuck to the barely inhabitable Outer Rim for many of the years of his tenure, up until they'd decided to pursue the Resistance's fleet. It hadn't been the best life, but it had been the one he'd chosen. Now he sees another way, even if he knows it will be all for nothing if they ever go back.

"I was hoping that would be a reason to get you out of bed in the morning. You know - I don't think I've ever met someone who wasn't really a morning person, not for a long time anyway." His father maybe? He had a million other habits that irked the younger Solo, of course, the least of which was his inability to keep anything clean.

"You lived in space?" Chloe couldn't stop the excitement that creeped into her voice. She tried to pull it back quickly. Why hadn't they talked about it before? Not that they'd done a lot of heart to heart talking. "That's... way cooler than I expected from you, Kilo." So close. "I can't imagine what it's like to be on a station that long, but... I dunno. Still don't think it'd make me a sun rise person."

She liked sleeping the day away. It meant not dealing with David.

"Glad I could be a change from your usual, though. Maybe you should make friends with less morning people. It might brighten your disposition."
