[diplomacy]

[here's the thing with han; han doesn't like it when he tells people to do things and then they do the exact opposite. so while padmé IS DOING SOMETHING PADME ISH, han is just staring at her with his arms crossed and an eyebrow raised.]

What? [Compared to her usual, polite countenance it's a lot more direct- flat out impatient, a combination of exhaustion and present circumstances both. The things she's currently concerning herself with, happen to be fiddling with the feed device, and shifting the sleeping young preteen higher up on her hip, into a far more comfortable position. It's clear that despite her asking, she doesn't really care for the answer]

I'm not saying anything. Because if I had said something, then it would mean that it was perfectly normal for you to get lost in a ship.

[Not that he’s being extremely passive aggressive about this at all.]

You didn't have to. You were staring. [She's not even going to address the last part of this, because she's tired enough to stoop to his level in her own way] The way out, Mr. Solo?

Follow me, your Grace.

Don't call me that. [It's automatic. She’s gotten used to correcting him- And she's fast approaching the point she feels she should just start ignoring him. She will however, follow after him and direct her attention to the feed, you know- the whole reason she turned it on] Cat wandered into the ship, and- we got a little lost. My- [A pause, and she side eyes Han. Flatly] friend here, is going to get us to the main part of the ship. Whoever is responsible for her- If you would meet us there, I would be happy to return her to you.

Seriously, come pick up your kid.

Shut up! [A small, tired voice enters the picture, raising her head briefly off of Padmé's shoulder to address them both, before lowering it again, hand curled stubbornly around the woman's braid. A small trickle of blood appears over the curve of Arya's ear]

[wolfchild]

Did you want a prize?

[ knowing her family, he could actually get one. ]

[carbonite]

How about you just calm down for a second and let the adults do their job? That would be great.

[wolfchild]

I am calm. You shut up.

[carbonite]

Turn around, don't talk.

[wolfchild]

Make me.

[carbonite]

[there's just a raised eyebrow. do you really want to try him?]

[wolfchild]

[ a growl comes from the side. nymeria had been content to follow the group without a sound, occasionally sniffing the floor or the air. now she watches han intently.

at least the wolf can sleep. no one wants to be around a sleep-deprived direwolf. ]

[carbonite]

Don't.

[wolfchild]

Here, Nymeria.

[ arya drops her hand. the direwolf snorts and walks toward the girl. ]

[carbonite]

If Chewie ever shows up- [he'd probably be a big softie, but STILL. WOOKIES.]

[wolfchild]

What're you chewing?

[carbonite]

[leave his precious wookie out of this.]

Chewbacca- that's his name.

[wolfchild]

What kind of name is that?

[carbonite]

Who're you goin' around judging people's names, huh?

[wolfchild]

I've known plenty of them so I can.

[carbonite]

Really? You've met so many people.

[wolfchild]

And with you, a talking arse.

[carbonite]

And who is the one that got themselves lost? That's right. You.

[wolfchild]

I wasn't lost. I was sleeping.

[ because that makes it so much better. ]

[carbonite]

So, you got careless.

[wolfchild]

No, I didn't. It just happened.

[carbonite]

Keep rubbing it in our faces, go on.

[wolfchild]

Come closer. I will.

[carbonite]

[you are so lucky that padme is there]
