He’s too far away from the cockpit to hear Ben’s words and the ship was old and noisy, too. He was trying to listen to the tone of his son’s voice anyway. Might as well, right? He still couldn’t see all that great. He’d have to figure that his kid must sound like Leia. She was the one who had been around for him. Pauses in the places she would have. Assertive when pressed.
The thought of his kid being like the princess and the two of them having each other, for the first time, made him feel good. When he could get passed the thought of being left behind - admittedly very hard for him to do - there was no other woman he’d have ever wanted to be the mother of his son.
The the kid is back. And he tells him they’re on Chandrila. Han makes a distainful face at the thought of it.
“Chandrila? That’s about the stuffiest planet in the whole galaxy. At least it was, anyway ...”
Of course, Han wasn’t going to be a huge fan of the place. They’d cracked down hard on the illicit dealings that happened on their planet years ago and consequently, there wasn’t much of an appeal to the place for someone who’d been a smuggler. He decided to try ignore that part of the news and instead focus on the good part. He was gonna get to see Leia again soon.
