[ the younger pair, confused and more than a little disturbed, turn to cover the door while whatever this is goes on behind them.
the older han drops his blaster (likely a bad idea) and cups leia's face in both his hands now. ] He wasn't around at first last time, remember? He'll catch up. Just breathe. Please, sweetheart, you've gotta stay with me so we can get out of this.
[ he's never seen her like this, and it pushes his own anxiety about the situation a little closer to panic. the closest was that night on endor, the way she had crumpled on that bridge when luke left. saying luke will be back, as if he's tagging along behind, is the only comfort he can think to give. ]
