For his small part, Han can't imagine anyone questioning her loyalties and that has almost nothing to do with his own feelings for her. Or at least he can't imagine anyone high up enough to have known Leia.

"Maybe, but none of them were leading the rebellion."

It seems an important distinction.

Where going home used to fill her with excitement and longing for a world she was more familiar with, it now causes her nothing but anxiety. She's changed, and she's not sure how the woman she has become would fit into the puzzle that was the Rebel Alliance as they knew it.

"I used to be so... out in the open, and now I'm back to doing my best to fly under the radar. To go unnoticed and not draw attention to myself. I thought I had left those days behind when my cover in the senate was blown."

And Alderaan was blown to smithereens.

A lot of things change a lot of people. Are any of them the same as they were before this all started? Not even the time travel this but the rebellion, the Empire, all of it. None of them are unchanged by it, or unchanged by what they're getting up to now in the past.

Han considers that, and Leia. He knows very well what the unsaid addendum here is, but he doesn't say it out loud.

"I guess the next question is, what if we don't go back?"

[organa]

That question earns him a startled, wide-eyed stare. As if the possibility is something she's never considered, which is a lie. She contemplated it quite frequently during her early days in the past, when she had no one but her father on her side, relying on a force (ha) she didn't understand to endear her to him in order to keep herself safe from the man who would be the emperor. And while she has thought about it on occasion since he and Luke were sent back, she hasn't thought about it as often.

Almost like she was sure that between the three of them, they would find a way. That together, they could accomplish the impossible as they had before.

"I don't... I don't know."
