While I sure do love having my precious moments spread around the ship like an episode of Dawson's Creek, I can't help but think most of you aren't making the best of this - admittedly awful - situation. Sure, it sucks, but it has its perks.

Which is to say: nyah, nyah, guess which one of us got to fly the Millennium Falcon?

[ Also Chewbacca is dead, but he's not letting it harsh his vibe. Here's to fulfilling boyhood dreams. ]

I'm pretty sure you already know all the people who've been at the controls of the Falcon. And if you don't...well, I don't want to drop them in it.

[ Okay, so the second part-- ]

Well she's not just any Corellian Freighter.

And you ought to watch what you say about a pilot's girl.

I don't think I mentioned your wife, and if I did, I'm at least decent enough not to suggest she's at all...capricious.

[theswordofthejedi]

Hey now. You can't wring my neck when you're the one who taught me how to fly her in the first place.

[There's a twitching in Jaina's jaw, a tightening of the muscles that's a warning - to those who know her, at least - that she's discussing something she isn't really wanting to even think about. With a sudden, sharp exhale, she finally tips her head ever so slightly.]

Didn't know that's what it was called but, yeah, I did.

[She pauses as she tries to figure out the best way to handle this. Clearly she can't just pretend there isn't some weird documentary holo in another reality that's all about her family. Such much for that tactic. This time she sighs before speaking again.]

I'm not going to like any explanation you're gonna have about all of that, am I?

[Okay, this everyone knowing everyone else's business thing is creepy]

My wife is not a girl.

[sugarbear]

[ Yup sort of is. ]

You're lucky none of Mr. 'I Have Another Gun in my Pants's memories had any more lasting effects, otherwise there'd be a few other things I had to say about her.

[ He's been inside her head, which gives him a unique perspective. Even if not for that, this is Casey's job - watching people - and even if it doesn't make him a people person, he knows when people are on edge. Sometimes his life depends on it.

So she's seen it. A New Hope, or just Star Wars as it was called at the time, had been released into cinemas just the year before Casey had gone to war. He'd been seventeen. Even so, the memory was one of his clearest, even after all these years. The queuing, the movie theater, the vast Star Destroyer pursuing the rebel ship.

He considers his reply for a second. He broke the Star Treks, but he could have cared less about that. Ever since Obi-Wan had arrived on board that first time, though, he'd only demonstrated how incredibly protective he was of them, to the point of attacking anyone who tried to ruin it for them. ]

Probably not, but more's to the point, what would it matter what the explanation was? You feel real, right? So there you go.

[ Casey squares his shoulders. ]

Look, maybe I can make up for the existential crisis thing? I work down in the Tranquility's shuttle bay. I could...show you around. [ Clumsy, Casey. Real clumsy. ]

Taikong suoyou de xingqiu saijin wo de pigu! Do I ever not need to hear about what's going on in his head about her.

[He knows, generally, from what he says. But there are things no one should ever have to know]

[sugarbear]

Heh. Yeah, that's probably for the best. I'm not sure that all the language I might use to describe them is strictly legal, come to think of it, even if I did use Mandarin.

[leaps]

He's aware of my opinions.

[ this is an ongoing debate casey, you don't understand. ]

Nothing's plump. It's outfitted for discovery, not for black market trade.

Re: video;

[dino_zarf]

I'm pretty sure I all sorts of don't want to know. Because no one wants to.

[carbonite]

I let a kid in my ship?

[carbonite]

My ship.

[carbonite]

[well this is awkward.]

... Since you're my kid.

[carbonite]

If some idiot (no offense- well) claims to have touched my ship, I should know about it.

Well, I know that. Thanks for informing me.

GENTLY TJ LET ME KNOW IF THIS ISN'T OKAY

[carbonite]

Hey, hey, hey - who said anything about black market trade.

[theswordofthejedi]

[Jaina's lips twitch. Is she enjoying this? Maybe a bit.]

I've been helping you with repairs on her since I was nine. There isn't a nook or cranny of her that I don't know. [a purposeful pause] And yes, since I'm your kid.

[sugarbear]

How'd you put up with that guy?

[sugarbear]

It's not for me to get between a father and his daughter.

[ Cause Jaina has at least interjected herself into the conversation, and he knows he's not surprising Han with 'So you have this grown up daughter' stuff.

Because he knows that sucks from experience. ]

[sugarbear]

[ Casey suddenly breaks into a grin. ]

You mean you two have been arguing about this for a while? That's even better.

NO IT'S UNACCEPTABLE.

[leaps]

Are you telling me your interests lie in exploration and discovery?

[leaps]

Better how?

[leaps]

You have a kid?

[sugarbear]

Better like I feel like I've been waiting my whole life to see this argument happen in person.
