"Fair enough, if that's what your powers require," he said, nodding once. It wasn't ideal, especially in regards to him learning her artes, as Jedi calm had never come easily to him, but sometimes you just had to suffer unpleasantness for a greater goal.

"For the Force, yes, I suppose it could be strong emotions of any kind. I mostly use anger, and that's what is commonly associated with the Dark Side." He grew a bit more cautious again, thinking about his wording before he spoke. This was the part that was so easily misunderstood and twisted, after all. Wretched Jedi propaganda. "When Force users tap into the Dark Side for the first time, it's usually in a moment of sheer anger. Loss of control. But the greatest Dark Side users aren't out of control. They actually have perfect control over their anger. It's a tool to them. When I was blessed to meet Darth Vader here, he berated me for my lack of control."

Kylo shrugged, slightly chagrined. "I'm afraid I'm still... working on it."
