Day 363 | Open Video
[ It's easy enough to figure out the headset. He even listens to the message and information before he starts throwing a decidedly scruffy, Corellian-sized tantrum about it to whoever is on this thing that will pay attention. ]

Listen, this is General Solo. [ And isn't he glad he can finally pull rank, if there's anyone here he can pull rank on. ] If this is some kind of kriffing joke, it's not funny. But if it's not, then someone needs to tell me what's going on that contaminating carbonite is illegal, not to mention my fault.

[ Not that he'd think someone (one of the Rogues is his first guess) would pull a prank of this magnitude in the middle of a crisis that includes people getting entenched to power droids, but it would be nice if that were the case. Mostly because then he wouldn't really be in prison and could more effectively yell at someone about it. ]

	[ while this may feel like the carbonite situation all over again with him somewhere else and out of her reach, he's not the one who's been out. ] You haven't been anywhere. I, however, have been stuck in this underwater hellhole for the past forty days. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Forty days. Not as bad as a year, but... ] And Luke is gone. [ This is so much worse than just being in prison, and he moves to pull her back into a hug. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ a hug she willingly sinks into, selfishly (oh so selfishly; she ought to be marching down to the kiosk and giving one of those force-forsaken droids a piece of her mind about now) basking in his presence. ] I can't feel him. Wherever he is now, he's out of my reach. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maybe wherever he's at, he's got a better chance at getting you out. [ It's difficult being the optimist in this relationship, and Han fumbles it spectacularly. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Maybe...

[ but she doesn't sound so sure. after all, the prison was supposedly virtual and getting "lost" in the dimensional stabilizer was an illusion. once you were here, you were here forever — your mind is just cut off from the rest, and you're left to lie dormant in the pods everyone's' bodies are being housed in. which means luke's still here (technically, somewhere...) just unreachable. a blank, palpable void.

the thought alone chills her to the bone. she hugs him tighter. ]

	[ Han doesn't have Force skills, but he can tell that Leia isn't buying it. Which he doesn't blame her for--he's not even sure he buys it. There's more going on that she's telling him, and it would annoy him more if he weren't so worried. ] Yeah, him and Chewie are probably cooking something up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ probably. if they even noticed they were gone... there was a time when knowing there were duplicates of them out there carrying on in their place was enough to placate her. it isn't anymore. ] I missed you, nerf herder. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ He almost says 'me, too,' except he just saw her. It's disorienting to think he's going through this weird displacement again. Han just squeezes a little and rests his chin on the top of her head for a second. ] Yeah? You can tell me all about it after I change out of this flight suit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	This [ she tugs on a handful of fabric at the small of his back ] is prisoner's fatigues, not a flight suit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It looks like a flight suit. [ Give him his imagined dignity. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, well... [ He falters a little and humphs, because this is deeply unfair and he is uncomfortable and annoyed and worried. It's not a good mix. ] Not like you're following the dress code. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's not exactly an orange flight suit. [ And they're not ill-fitting fatigues or borrowed gowns, which isn't exactly bad. Just different. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ His hands stay right where they were, so she's not going far. Just far enough that he frowns at her. ] I'll just borrow some of yours, then. [ Because she owes him for all of his clothes she's borrowed, mostly during the trip to Bespin. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ on the list of things she really hopes those films didn't showcase: how they passed the time while stuck on the slowest boat to bespin. ] You'd have better luck tying a sheet around your waist. [ leia reaches for one of his hands. ]. Come on, hotshot. Let's get you something to wear that's a little less neon. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Whatever you say, Princess. [ That sheet thing sounds interesting, but he won't push it. He leans down to kiss the corner of her mouth (because he hadn't, yet, and that felt unnatural) before he takes her hand and lets her take the lead. ] So, forty days... [ Han is concerned about that. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ he hasn't done that yet, and it doesn't hit her how much she's missed kissing him until he does. it has her spinning around to gett more of it, clutching his hand tight as she raises up on her toes to press her mouth more firmly against his. ]

Forty days. [ a lot of lost time to make up for, a lot of things he's not going to enjoy hearing. ] Forty very long [ and lonely ] days.

[ It's hard to reconcile that with the image in his head of her the last time he saw her before he woke up here, sitting with him in the speeder on the way back to Salis D'aar. Leia wasn't just with him, she's been here for over a standard month. Alone.

That can mean a lot of things he's not sure he wants to consider.

Han cups her cheek with his free hand, then presses another kiss to her forehead. ]

C'mon, or I'm never getting out of this thing. { The innuendo is not intended, it is just a happy accident. ]

[ there are things he needs to hear about her time here that he's not going to enjoy hearing. things she's not proud of, things she wishes she could have avoided. yesterday in particular was a sore spot, but she kissed someone else before bots were trapping her within energy field bubbles – kissed someone at her loneliest, when she thought she had more honest common ground and was trying to fill the void left in luke's wake. she wanted a connection of some kind, something honest and real – to feel some semblance of whole again.

but there was no fooling herself, and at the end of the day, all she was left with was regret.

she squeezes han's hand tightly, tugging on it to lead him in the direction of the nearest clothing shop. ]

[ He squeezes her hand back and follows, tries to ignore the knot of worry in the pit of his stomach for now. It would almost be better if she'd started out with a debriefing, a full run down of what he'd missed. And he has missed things, things she doesn't want him to know or things she doesn't want to tell him yet.

Last time, he'd ended up jealous of Luke. Luke who ended up being her brother, and Han felt silly enough already for the front he'd put on about that back on Endor. So, he stomps the worry down and focuses on being happy she's here and holding his hand and he isn't blind. Hopes they have clothes that'll fit him and look a little more normal than what Leia's got on. ]

[ leia fears him developing that same, irrational jealousy over reid. she kissed him, but it was a misguided kiss. a mark of loneliness, a desperation to feel. maybe there could've been something, but that's a big maybe and not something that would happen over night. not while her heart still belonged to han and she yearned for both his company and that of her brother — of winter and dodonna and madine. he has nothing to fear from reid, who may be a source of information on things she has no other way of knowing, but is still working on earning back her trust after lying to her about those films. ]

The clothing here isn't like what you're used to. [ for the most part. occasionally, she'll see garments that resemble something she recognizes, but the majority is very what she's come to call 'earth-based.' ] But I'm sure we can find you something.

Something clean at the very least.

[ was that a jab at the often broken laundry system on the falcon? perhaps. ]

	Hey. [ Because he knows a slight against the Falcon when he hears one. It's a relatively good natured 'hey,' considering there's a lot worse she could be telling him. ] I'm clean. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ she went forty days without being able to insult that ship. obviously, she needs to make up for lost time. ]

I'll be the judge of that, [ leia throws over her shoulder, and like his earlier statement, the innuendo is a happy accident.

there are no happy accidents in the changing room, however, once they've got him a few decent sets of clothes and she's rolling down sleeves he keeps pushing up. for both band reasons and things she needs to tell him. the eventual debriefing she knows he senses is about to happen. ]

Luke disappeared seventeen days ago.
