after this:
This is level three.
This is the seventh door on the left.
This is Esfir's door.
Esfir's door is locked.
Esfir is very busy.
And Esfir's door is not sound-proof.

Han focuses on the wood and his hands, to make sure that he doesn't get in her way and get smacked.
"She...was the closest thing I had to a parent. To a mother. Taught me Shyriiwook and made sure I got patched up after getting knocked around, that sort of stuff. I just...always liked learning it. I guess it's carried on."

One nail in, two, three (and her fingers brush against his),
"Different for me. I...have to know things. I told you, about invasion. All the bombs, and my mother was killed. So, it was up to my aunt to take care of me and my brother. And my grandmother, I think everything sent her odd. To keep us occupied in the camp, Aunt Katya would teach us. How to read, how to write, maths, how to do things.
After my brother died, it became something to fill pain with. And then I just..."
Forth nail in.
"...didn't stop learning."
Beat.
"Don't ask why I have to understand things, though, I don't know where that comes from."
no subject
That's a little bit 'dramatic' but it's true.
Han nods.
"It makes sense, though. Why learn something if you don't understand it and if you can't use it?"
no subject
"A little like that. But. Do you know how the artificial gravity works?"

He holds something in place for her.
"I've modified the Falcon by removing some of it. It takes up a lot of space, and I feel like she handles better when I can feel her."
no subject
Those who do are idiots, as far as she is concerned.
"But, it's...odd. I don't understand how it works. The gravity. On Earth, they were talking and having ideas, and there were things about having the space station rotating, so you use the centrifugal force. And when I fly to Moon, I have no gravity. But, on Liberty and you Falcon, I can walk and don't have to push off the walls."

Han hands her nails as she needs new ones.
"The Liberty, and Home One...the Calamari are good shipbuilders," he says. "They know what they're doing. I can't really explain...the technology is different from builder to species to specific model of ship."
no subject
Beat.
"Thank you."

Han smiles a little.
"You know, I hear they have a library here too."

"Well I don't think they'd notice if some went...borrowed for a long time."

Stealing? What stealing?
no subject
A beat.
"Hell, I got parts of the Falcon that I'll give back...eventually."
no subject
"Exactly."
no subject
"Eventually. I don't plan on losing her anytime soon."
no subject

"...won her?"

"Why am I not surprised."

no subject
"What do you think? It'll hold some of my books?"

Off her look of are you kidding me?! he grins and shakes his head.
"[Very good.]"
