Look, kid, I'm not sure what it is you're gonna be trying and doing with this, but I can tell you that it's not gonna be much better than any of your other bright ideas.

Though I guess there's something left to be said if what happened left an impression the way it did, huh?

[ I've got absolutely no EU knowledge. Feel free to tag despite that, but a link to a Wookiepedia page would be swell. ]

You know, I might be projecting, but I'd wager the kid's got a lifetime of agony in store for you, old man.

[itsnew]

You might be projecting?

[ He can't help but snort at that; it's not even close to being funny, but there's something about it that's hard to not make some similar reaction to. ]

I'm not expecting much else than that, though. All of these muns or whatever they're called... they have at least one screw loose somewhere.

[ragingstrife]

I'm sure it's a coincidence you have that in common.

[itsnew]

I'm sure it is. Unfortunately for you, it seems to run in the family, on both sides.

[ragingstrife]

I bet mom would loove to hear that.

[forcepiloting]

Meeting you certainly left an impression on me.

[She's just going to beam at him, because honestly she's just so happy to see him again.]

[itsnew]

That's how people usually react when they meet me. Just ask Leia, she knows all about that.

[ He's got that trademark smirk going on; he's glad to see her, too. ]

You've been taking care of the Falcon then, right?

[forcepiloting]

Not a scratch. [Not yet, anyway.]

Leia - the general... she misses you. We all do.

[She takes a little breath, but Rey refuses to cry now. Not here.]

I'm so sorry.

[itsnew]

[ His hand lands on her shoulder, firm but gentle. ] Hey, there's no reason to be sorry. There's no way any of us could have predicted that Ben would...

[ Han trails off, sighing as his other hand rubs his face. He did anticipate it, but that didn't make it hurt any less. ]

Just. Don't get mopey about it, all right? Ain't no sense in lingering in the past.

[vaders_only_son]

[Luke can't honestly try and hide his smile at seeing Han again. Feeling his death through the Force was horrible.]

You always leave an impression wherever you go.

[itsnew]

You're one to talk about leaving an impression, kid. I'm pretty sure out of any of us, you'll have the biggest one for a long time.

[ He, too, is grinning the whole time. ]

What, did I need to die for you to crawl out of whatever cave you stuck yourself in? People have been looking everywhere for you.

[ Not that he doesn't get why Luke left; after all, he did the same thing, right? ]

[vaders_only_son]

[Luke's eyes gain a bit of that old sparkle from the Rebellion days when he was more innocent and more likely to rise to Han's bait when they needled each other.]

It didn't really drag me out. More nearly gave me a heart attack Han. But then you were always good at doing that to Leia and me.

[itsnew]

[ At least he was playing along. Sure as heck beats going straight to the emotional stuff. ]

I'd hate for your life to get stale and stuffy. That's what I'm around for, to make life interesting.

[dontcallhergeneral]

Maybe you should give the kid a chance.

It can't be easy, having you inside their head.

[itsnew]

Speaking from experience? Can't say how many times I've heard that before.

[dontcallhergeneral]

You certainly have a way with people.

[Her smile is fond and expression bittersweet as she remembers saying that exact thing to him once before, a very long time ago.]

[itsnew]

What can I say? Must be the new jacket.

[ He can't seem to match her warmth, as he looks away with a sigh. ]

It's gonna take a lot more than me to bring him back, Leia. It was a little too naïve to think he'd leave if I just asked nicely. I... probably should've tried something different, huh?

[drunk_ish]

Han Solo, speaking to someone about bright ideas. My, oh my.

[itsnew]

Yeah, yeah, shove it. Mine may not be the brightest star in the system, but it's better than what Hocus Pocus over here is thinking of.

[ "Hocus Pocus?" That's new. ]

[drunk_ish]

Perhaps like attracts like.

[itsnew]

Mmmmmmhm. Maybe.

[ He's not really that invested in the current conversation, so he moves on. ]

So, do you have a name? Or are you the only one allowed to know who I am?

[neverjoinyou]

Han?

[you got old, bro]

[itsnew]

Luke.

[ broh, you got younger. 's kind of creepy, yo ]

[neverjoinyou]

What happened to you?

[itsnew]

Getting old, kid. Ain't as pretty as you'd think.
