I believe I just did.

[But rather than continuing an argument that she knows is just going to end as no you, Leia has her eyes on a different prize, and urges her bird forward, swooping toward the building they've been racing toward.]

[ Fundamentally, don't all their arguments end like that? ]

Hey!

[ He urges his feathery steed onward, which initially makes it swoop side to side, uselessly pulling away from the course she's plotted out. But he does speed up, eventually drawing back, nearly neck and neck with her. ]

[.........essentially yes. But Leia prefers them when she can win.

Leia tries to urge her bird faster, but it's not much use at the moment. The bird either can't or doesn't want to fly faster than it's already going, instead squawking its disapproval at being told to go faster.]


What is it they say about cheaters?

[ VICTORY IS NIGH ]

That they work really hard to get good at it?

[ Leia, have you never seen a card game between two very accomplished card sharps? It's all the drama of a real game, but way more surprises. ]

[Leia's distracted momentarily, just enough, by Han's answer. Which is to say, she's distracted enough making a face at that being his take on it that she eases up on the bird.]

I don't think anyone--

[And that small distraction is just enough for her to fall just barely short of Han in reaching the target, something she realizes mid sentence. The mildly amused but bewildered expression from before fades as Leia exhales sharply, frowning in what's totally not her being visibly annoyed at all, nope.]

[ He wasn't actually trying to get ahead there, but hey, if it works...

He crows in delight as he rounds the building, and apparently his joy is mildly infectious since the bird squawks too, flaring its wings jubilantly as they float in a tight circle. ]

[Sore winners!!! Not that Leia would be any better, most likely, but in her own mind she's sore Han's being what she considers a sore winner, because she feels cheated here.]

You're awfully excited for someone that didn't want to do this in the first place.

[personal profile] straightouttacarbonite 2018-09-09 04:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you mad that you managed to talk me into it?

[ he's the sorest of winners, Leia.

Look, you can't literally pull a girl's pigtails if they're coiled up in the Alderaanian style, a guy's gotta make do. ]

Not about that.

[Even if he's being a sore winner, it's still a nice change of pace, and she does still enjoy being around him. Even if he's getting on her nerves.]

But you should have been more open to this to begin with.

[Stubborn arguing with stubborn about his stubbornness.]

[personal profile] straightouttacarbonite 2018-09-09 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I still don't like birds.

[ But he likes racing, and winning, and getting her goat. ]

[personal profile] oratorical 2018-09-09 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Careful. He might hear you and get offended.

[not that she knows whether these birds can actually understand basic. It's the principle of the thing.]
straightouttacarbonite: (030)

[personal profile] straightouttacarbonite 2018-09-09 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
He might.

[ Really Han wouldn't blame him. This is not a journey that's gonna end with him smuggling an egg back aboard, that's for sure. ]

Where to next?

[personal profile] oratorical 2018-09-10 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
Hopefully he doesn't throw you off.

[That's a pretty long way down if he does. Not that Leia would let him fall--she'd try and catch him, if she can. But it's the principle of the thing.

That said, Leia glances around, looking for things that may stand out and that she may want to get a closer look at. There's a lot of them, to say the least.]


What do you say to just flying and seeing where that takes us?
straightouttacarbonite: (043)

[personal profile] straightouttacarbonite 2018-09-13 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
Suits me.

[ He guides the bird in a lazy, wide circle around her. ]

For a while, anyway.

Because you have business to get back to?

[He may have insisted he was lost or took a wrong turn down a shady sort of alley, but Leia's not clueless, nor has she forgotten about it. She can't guess exactly what he was doing, but she can make a vague guess.]
straightouttacarbonite: (005)

[personal profile] straightouttacarbonite 2018-09-16 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
Because even if it's fast, this thing smells.

[ And it would be nice to have business to get back to, but he's not sure it'll stand the delay. Too many other would-be pilots and pirates around. ]
