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.

"They...oh, yes. They do. I'm just not used to the idea of giving books back."

[rebel-falcon.livejournal.com]

Sneaky glance.

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

[aimedforthemoon]

"True enough."

Stealing? What stealing?

[rebel-falcon.livejournal.com]

"Besides, it's not like you aren't planning on giving it back eventually."

A beat.

"Hell, I got parts of the Falcon that I'll give back...eventually."

[aimedforthemoon]

She laughs.

"Exactly."

[rebel-falcon.livejournal.com]

Han smiles, a little to himself.

"Eventually. I don't plan on losing her anytime soon."

[aimedforthemoon]

"Of course not. How, um, how much did she cost?"

[rebel-falcon.livejournal.com]

Han smiles a little. "I won her, actually."

[aimedforthemoon]

Esfir pauses.

"...won her?"

[rebel-falcon.livejournal.com]

"Card game. Tournament."

[aimedforthemoon]

Suddenly, she grins.

"Why am I not surprised."

[rebel-falcon.livejournal.com]

"Because you know me."

[aimedforthemoon]

"I know enough not to be surprised," she corrects. Then she puts her hammer down and scouts back.

"What do you think? It'll hold some of my books?"

[rebel-falcon.livejournal.com]

"I think you should quit your day job..."

Off her look of are you kidding me?! he grins and shakes his head.

"[Very good.]"

[aimedforthemoon]

This gets a pleased smile.

"[Good. More tomorrow.]"

Beat.

"Suit still stuck on?"

[rebel-falcon.livejournal.com]

"...I caught 'good', there."

Han attempts...and manages to peel off the jacket!

[aimedforthemoon]

"More tomorrow," she translates as her smile widens. "Well, now..."

[rebel-falcon.livejournal.com]

"Two for two?"

The tie takes a bit of work, but that gets thrown away with the jacket, and he rubs his neck gratefully. "Force, I can breathe again."

[aimedforthemoon]

"Not a fan of ties, then?" Esfir asks, leaning over to pick it up.

[rebel-falcon.livejournal.com]

"Not unless you're a fan of ties."

[aimedforthemoon]

She wraps it around one hand, pulling it tight with the other for a moment and then letting it go slack.

"They can be interesting. Sometimes."

[rebel-falcon.livejournal.com]

Curious eyebrow, as he walks closer.

"Sometimes, yes."

[aimedforthemoon]

She curls her legs underneath herself and stands up in a smooth movement, tie still loosely looped around her hand. Given how close he is, she swiftly acknowledges the advantages of her boots.

"Mmmhmm."

[rebel-falcon.livejournal.com]

Han settles his hands on either side of her waist, thumbs brushing lightly against her clothing.

"Care to show me?"

[aimedforthemoon]

Esfir tilts her head up to look at him.

"With pleasure."
