[Really, Han, do you think before you say things? You should know better. Leia, knowing what happens, attempted to not flinch at her husband's faux pas as she elbowed him in the gut, focusing her attention back on Anakin.]

Well, that does help, in case I run into her. I will keep that in mind.

[She tried to give him a reassuring smile, but how effective it would be at this point was probably nonexistent.]

Thank you for coming out to tell me this.

[That was dumb. He'd honestly been thinking about navigating the future with Leia when he'd said it.

The other interpretation occurred to him roughly in sync with that elbow.

Okay, so no more talking about that. Something more neutral.]

It's... good to know she's back.

[He did like her, from their brief meetings before.]

[Anakin didn't have any more information to relay, and this conversation had surpassed awkward and had moved into painful territory for him. It was time for him to go.

He ended things with a customary Jedi bow.]

"I'm glad your mission was a success." [It was the most honest, positive salutation he could think of.

He then turned and left.]

Thank you again. [She sighed before turning her attention on Han as Anakin left.]

It's a good thing you're handsome. Sometimes.

[notsosolo]

That was...

[Yeah that went poorly]

Not anything like I was going for.

[He swears he's trying to get along with Anakin]

[She could be angry with Han, but what good would it serve. How many times had she herself stumbled over words with Anakin? No, when it came to her birth father, things were hard fought for and easily lost with a few misplaced words.

But to actually have him come down here and show concern for her well-being was... new. Nice even.]

I know, Han, but he's so unhappy and easy to rile up.
