That depends.

Has he been talking to Rey?

[Because let's be real, as flustered and moody as Jacen can make him, it's nothing compared to the dread that he'll try to play match maker and end up scaring Rey off.]

[dathomiri]

They are always talking.

[ There might be a hint of jealousy there. ]

[vaderfan]

[Oh, he gets that jealousy. Not just at the irrational thought that Jacen would sweep her off her feet, but also something more basic. Jealousy at the ease with which they talk.]

Then yes.

[dathomiri]

He tells me of your interest in her.
How strange that he can see that, yet he remains oblivious to the interest others have for him.

[ She can't even say she means herself. ]

[vaderfan]

Seems to run in the family.

[He's just not... gonna engage that first comment. Sorry, TK.]

[dathomiri]

[ As if you aren't obvious, Ben. She might have smiled, faintly amused. ]

So it would seem.
I will speak to him, but I do not know if he can stop himself from interfering in your affairs.

[vaderfan]

Wouldn't be Jace if he wasn't meddling.

[A long suffering sigh belongs with that statement. It takes him a while to continue, but he does eventually volunteer:]

I can speak to him about your situation, if you prefer.

[dathomiri]

Would you rather that he not care?

[ Oh what she’d give for Jace to bother her. Although, on second thought... he does keep cracking those lame jokes of his. Every morning at breakfast, and every night before bed. Could it mean...?

Ben’s offer, though, snaps her out of her musings. ]

You would do that?

[vaderfan]

[So many lines of conversation he's just not going to touch because what the hell are feelings anyway?

TK, one day you will understand that persistent lame jokes = declarations of love.]

Yes.

In spite of his attempts to 'help' me with women in the past, I don't enjoy watching my brother defeat himself in his own endeavors.

[dathomiri]

[ Ben’s revealed so much of himself and his relationship with Jace just from that one line, and TK is pleased. Perhaps just not visibly so. ]

Thank you.

It seems I shall be in your debt yet again, Ben Solo.

[vaderfan]

The debt remains mine.
