Josh may talk big, but Han knows as well as anyone he doesn't mean it. The kid has like negative ego after whatever the hell happened on his world. But pretending that he's normal helps. Josh flops backward onto the dirt a moment, rubbing his hands on his jeans to clean them. Takes a moment to just listen to Han talk about the speeder while he has a short rest.
"I was yeah. It had that sickly cough sound." Seems like forever ago really, considering all the work they've put into this thing over the last bunch of weeks. When Han starts pointing to things in specific, Josh makes himself get up again so he can peer inside alongside the other.
"Okay so all four parts are busted up right?" Seems easy enough. Just take it out. "Right on." The screwdriver and spanner are back in his back pocket as he gets back to work. Josh is quiet when he's working really hard. Always chewing on his bottom lip and focusing. No detail too small gets by him. He wants to be useful. Wants to make Han proud of him, and Chris too.
Maybe even himself.
To look at something that used to be trash and say 'I did that. I made something. For real this time.'
The clips are corroded and difficult to get off, leaving Josh a stream of curses as he pries and levers the damn things off before turning his attention to the screws.
"You better be worth it, speeder. Cuz right now you're a royal pain in my ass."
