well. that's pretty legit.
han misses the change in expression, but he follows the hand drifting over the panel. that more than anything centers him in the moment. allows him to shed a little of the tension still coiled in his muscles.
one of the very first things he did as a newly minted and more excited than reasonable father was to pack his newborn on the millennium falcon for a short rendezvous. leia almost had his head for it — mostly because he forgot to tell her before they left — but han shrugged it off. the falcon had been his first love. she'd saved his life more times than he could count and he owed a good deal of his luck and success to the ship.
his son, he'd decided early on, was going to love her as much as he did. ]
She's going to need a lot of work. [ he pats a wall a couple of times for emphasis. after so long apart, he still needs the reassurance that the falcon is again with him where she belongs. ] That dirtball let her go to hell.
[ the outer appearance does not worry him. it's to their benefit that others think the falcon junk. even when they know the ship and its reputation, most tend to underestimate her. that suits han fine. it's the damage to the interior, to the years of careful repairs and alterations, that that junker did that sets his teeth on edge. ]
