THE FORCE IS A CRESTING WAVE, or so Han’s been told.  (  Over, n’ over, and over, he’s been told. )  And if that’s true, then somehow bein’ the only one left to tread water in a family full of STRONG SWIMMERS never really got to him, ‘til it did ALL AT ONCE.

( --- --- He’d always been so much more concerned with the tides of the stars, anyways.  Maybe that was always gonna be where he’d fail them. )

❝ WELL, M’SORRY I DIDN’T REALLY HAVE TIME FOR A BOW, YOUR GRACE. ❞  Sarcasm drips like atmospheric condensation across transparisteel, not that this has any likelihood of DISAPPEARING once they hit hyperspace.  ❝ --- --- You’re welcome, by the way. ❞

The Falcon registers her own complaints as Han double - times a takeoff, fist tight on the yoke before Chewbacca can even get himself settled in the co - pilot’s seat.  THE EMPIRE DOESN’T TAKE ESCAPE REAL LIGHTLY --- --- he’d know.

Han tosses a glance over his shoulder toward the TIEs already hot on their tail, a quick upshift takin’ her UP and out to cut that pretty diamond - sparkling sky wide open in their hurry.  Chewie rumbles a go - ahead for the jump, and honestly, Han would just like a chance to get the hell out of this armor sooner, rather than later.

❝ You’re gonna want to buckle in, Princess, HYPERSPACE ain’t exactly a smooth ride. ❞

( Skywalkers on all sides, seems like these days.  NOT THAT HAN WOULD HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY. )

An ominous echo clambers down the tunnel, INCOMING JACKBOOTS in a number probably bigger than either of ‘em has any business goin’ after on their own.  Han reaches down to flick open the strap of his thigh holster, familiar gloved fingers curling around the grip of his blaster with a SOLIDITY that only comes on the back - end of a decade’s worth of EXACTLY THIS.

❝ --- --- We’re gonna leave this bit out tellin’ her Highness, right ? ❞
