[It's a task similar in spirit to his previous work, defending the interests of the First Order— and aside from the satisfaction of getting back to what he's always been best at, he can see a powerful opportunity in learning from and training with the mages assigned to this task force. A significant, mutual benefit. Kylo's mouth tugs towards a smile that probably wants to match Jolene's.]

It seems our interests align conveniently. This attack— with the power they demonstrated, your visitors could have harmed Thorne directly. Using the opportunity to herd the summoned into the arms of your enemies suggests they have a plan of their own for the Singularity... or at least they seek to disrupt yours. [He pauses briefly. Considers. Amends:] Ours.

The runaways have been targeted and misled. I'm as interested as you are in discovering what designs are being made for them now. You can count on my assistance... provided I can count on this being the last time I find myself confined or summoned to your dungeon for the crime of lending it.

[His smile twists a fraction. Yes, he understands why the caution was necessary, and would likely have done the same in their position, but that doesn't mean he has to enjoy being subjected to it.

That said, he seems more amused than annoyed, presently. As much as it's possible to tell the difference.]

You might want to reconsider the policy towards your guests in general. Few of them will be as... understanding as I am.
