Han runs. It's not the fastest he's ever run in his life, that honor no doubt went to a much younger version of him. It might be most desperately he's ever ran, though. He's got no idea what to expect from the garbled sounds of battle he can faintly hear beneath the sounds of the detonator. He only knows that his son is combat.
There's far greater concern for Ben, right now, than the elder Solo's ever had for his own well-being. Which ... is why Han wanted to draw the any Rathars toward him in the first place.
He turns down the hall and catches a glimpse of his kid fighting the creature. In a split second what is burned into his mind is worth years of knowledge the old scoundrel hadn't acquired about Ben Solo before. The determination in the way he holds his head. The posture of someone ready to take on all threats. Whatever they might be. He certainly has courage.
That makes him far more proud than anything he son could do with the force.
And then, Captain Solo has his DL-44 raised and is firing bolts of scarlet at the creature that threatens his son. A man who had been in so many firefights at this point, he could find targets without even looking at them.
