[ It's not the non-human thing that weirds Han out-- it's the part where suddenly his obviously non-human captain looked human again. He didn't want to ask for details, next time he saw her around the ship. It's just, the whole shapeshifter thing-- he can't help being a little skeptical.

Still, that's not important now. Newly-minted Starstriker that he is, Han has to lodge an objection. ]

I'd feel way more supported if you weren't rooting for all the other guys, too.

[dreamvour]

[if left up to her, Han would never have to see her real form again - just this one. Or . . . maybe another, if she had to change for some reason, who knows, this place is incredibly unpredictable. Either way, she appreciates that he hasn't asked.

She glances up at him and tilts her head, eyebrows furrowed curiously]

Do you want me to cheer only for you, then?

[straightouttacarbonite]

[ When you've worked for Hutts and you live with a Wookiee, it's hard to be too bothered by anything species-wise, as long as it isn't trying to eat you.

He shrugs, flashing her a smile. ]

I mean, don't you want to see your talented shipmate achieve victory?

[dreamvour]

Of course I do. [she tilts her head the opposite way] I'll cheer for you, so that my cheering for everyone else isn't a determinant.

[straightouttacarbonite]

I mean, you don't have to. [ but come on, how can you not want to? He grins. ]

Not competing in anything yourself?

[dreamvour]

But now I want to. [you better win now Han]

Not in these kind of events, no. It wouldn't be fair.

[straightouttacarbonite]

Well, good.

[ OH HE'S GONNA WIN. Maybe. Probably. He's got good chances, really. Racing is one of his strengths. ]

Why not?

[dreamvour]

[she believes in you!!]

I can be very fast, and because I don't like to lose, it wouldn't be much of a competition. [she says it in her usual deadpan, as if she's talking about the weather] I like the board games. Those I feel less bad about being ruthless in.

[straightouttacarbonite]

I dunno, you might have more competition than you expect.

[ Hooray, bravado. ]

[dreamvour]

Ahhh, maybe. I'll consider it. I get preoccupied sometimes keeping up appearances.

[y'know, considering she's a tiny teenager body and all]

[straightouttacarbonite]

Or just join the Starstrikers and take out the dejarik tables for us.

[dreamvour]

But - aren't they the team that always wins?

[straightouttacarbonite]

Only 'cause all the best people join.

[dreamvour]

Heeh . . . is that why . . . ?

[straightouttacarbonite]

It's the best team 'cause the best people join 'cause it's the best team.

[dreamvour]

Are you only saying that because you joined?

[straightouttacarbonite]

That would be terribly egotistical of me.

[dreamvour]

It would. But that isn't a no.

[straightouttacarbonite]

I joined because I like winning and they like winners.

[dreamvour]

Uh huh. [that makes sense, but also: come on now Han]

Is there a particular event you excel at? So I can make sure to cheer as loud as I can?

[straightouttacarbonite]

[ hey, don't hate the player, hate the game. ]

I think I've got a good shot in the small craft races. Maybe the lift-bikes, too, I dunno yet.

[dreamvour]

I'll remember that, then. [and for all that's she teasing she's being genuine too look what you've done]
