Destination: Tropical
“I’ve been thinking a little about this place lately.”
Roaming around with no place in mind isn’t all that unfamiliar to him these days. If he’s behind honest, the first few months of being the Captain of his own ship had been fun. He appreciated being able to go wherever he wanted, see whatever it was that he wanted to see, play in any sabacc game he heard about, drink the booze of many worlds and meet some new people. In some ways, it was everything he ever wanted and exactly what he’d hoped for.
Something was missing, though. A feeling that gnawed at him regularly without knowing exactly what it was.
”I’m heading to a warm, tropical climate and I think I’m gonna be on the planet for a couple of days. I’m wondering what what everybody in the nexus would pack, if they were going somewhere sunny.”

So she could pay for a room, and maybe they would talk more. Or kiss more. She honestly wasn't sure what they might do, or what they might want to do.
"Not after Imperial Retention and Interrogation hold cells or trash compactors. After that everything else seems quite nice." It was intended as a joke, well mostly, but it could fall flat. Still it would get the idea across that she could make do with anything not infested or dangerous.

Though his eyes narrowed at the reveal that she had spent some time in an Imperial holding cell and he reached out to place his hand over hers in empathy. Han knew exactly how poorly people who were detained by the Empire could be treated, though, he’s not certain how being a princess might change the usual approach. Would they treat her better so as not to ruffle Queen Breha and Bail?
Alderaan might not have a military presence anymore, but even Han knew it wasn’t necessary wise to pick a fight with a influential core world all the same.
“Okay Princess, ready to be lead around by a wild stallion?” He teases her with a fractional smile on his face. His big hands settle on her little waist and he easily picks her up off of his lap and sets her on her feet. “I think I saw a few good places last time I was here in the nexus.”
His hand was offered to her if she wanted to have it.

"Wild stallion?" She laughed and it turned into a little whoop when she was lifted and placed on the ground. She held his upper arms for balance before finding her footing and releasing him. His following comment caught her a bit off guard and she wasn't sure what to make of it exactly.
"So do you often need to look up places to stay when you come here?" She asked as her hand slid into his, small and dainty but the grip wasn't weak. She didn't think his answer would change anything, but she did have to admit a curiosity.

He’s not sure that he needed to explain his joke or not, but he felt like it was a clever thing to say. And Han was alright with calling attention to the fact that he can be smart in front of her. He wanted to impress Leia as badly as he’d ever wanted to impress anyone.
If she happens to be looking at Han, the moment she asks her question, the young man winces. It hadn’t even dawned in him how that might sound to her. “It’s not like that.” He says, shaking his head. “I grew up on the streets, Leia. I spent about as many years having to sleep on a padded roll on the ground as I have in a real bed. You just get in the habit of looking for places you might need to go ... if things start to go sideways.”
