    Some days, Han regretted not just taking the money and getting far, far away from Luke and Leia and their band of misfit soldiers.

    Granted, the Alliance has such a massive backlog on the credits they owe that they wouldn’t have given them anywhere near half of what the old man had promised him, but still. Life would have been so much easier for him and Chewie. The two of them could have easily fallen back into their old habits of taking on jobs and gambling most of their credits away. It was easy enough to keep away from the bounty hunters on their asses (Han’s ass, as Chewie was so fond of reminding him) and they could have kept that up for at least as long as the war went on.

    But no. No, he had to find the last dredges of pride and morality within him somehow and ended up staying along. Hell, there was talk of making him a general. Most of the Alliance wouldn’t think of him as general material if they saw where he was now - crowding around some table in a dark and dingy bar on Coruscant, hiding out from a group of Imperials. Leia looked like she was about to chew his head off, and Chewie was just shaking his head slowly. “Well how was I supposed to know that there were backups a block away?” Han asked, scowling. “C’mon, the kid here is supposed to be the one with all that mystic bullshit. He should’ve been the one to know that they were close, not me.”
    Oris glanced around the room, frowning a little as she surveyed the patrons. It was the usual bunch for the most part, too smart to be conned, or too poor to bother with. She’d been stuck on Coruscant too long and it was time to get off. The only issue with that was that she’d been keeping her credit stash at just the right amount - enough to keep herself fed and a place to crash, but not enough to start saving for a kriffing ship off planet. Eventually, her gaze settled on a group of four all huddled around a table in the back. A wookie and three humans was an odd group to see to say the least. The woman looked as though as she was ten seconds away from screaming at all of them. She looked kind of familiar too, like in the way where you vaguely recognize someone you used to know.

    “The blonde over there looks like he might be gullible,” she murmured to Keyan, her eyes never straying from the little group. “He looks like he’s never stepped foot off-planet before.” She let out a soft laugh as she took a sip of her Corellian ale, watching them for a little bit longer. The bartender - a female Falleen - cleared her throat. Oris glanced over, the Falleen woman nodding towards her cup. “Oh, no thanks. I’m good,” she said. She took another drink of her ale as she turned her attention towards Keyan. “You want to try it? If the blonde doesn’t go for it, the brown haired guy looks like an idiot.”

    Luke couldn't stop himself from rolling his eyes when Han said the words 'mystic bullshit'. He let out a small sigh, giving his head a small shake. "The force doesn't mean I can see the future, Han! That's not how it works." Sure, he maybe should have been able to sense that something was wrong, something was there, but no one was perfect, right?

    Luke pushed a hand through his hair, looking around the bar. They'd have to get out of there eventually, before they started to draw attention to themselves. They didn't exactly blend in with Chewbacca taking a spot up in their party, even if they tried to stay looking nonchalant. A wookie never really was the best for blending it.

    Luke looked down into his cup of untouched ale he'd only ordered to look less suspicious. He'd tried a sip, it was awful. He let out a sigh, looking to Leia. "Any ideas, Leia?"
    Keyan was leaning with her back against the bar, her eyes scanning over the people in the dimly lit bar. She had just about had it up to here with Coruscant. It was over crowded and busy and she desperately needed a change of scenery. But, like Oris, she didn't have enough money to head skyward and wave the planet goodbye. She licked her lips, her eyes moving to where Oris had indicated. She was definitely right about the both of the men. The blonde looked gullible, and the brunette looked like an idiot for sure. The woman with them though, looked harder to pull one over on.

    "I'm down if you are, but she's going to cause us problems if we do," Keyan replied in a hush voice, leaning towards Oris slightly. "Not that I don't think we can manage something here, but I had to point it out. She does look ready to murder them both and the wookie, though, so that might work for us." A faint smile moved across Keyan's face, her eyes moving between the small group. She wasn't sure what the men had done, but she sympathized with the woman. Men often had that effect on her as well.

    Han stared at Luke for a moment before shaking his head. “Well then what’s point of it if it can’t help us out?” He asked. He really didn’t know how any of it was supposed to work. He’d called it mystic bullshit, but that was more to rile Luke up than anything else. He’d thought it was just a bunch of bantha shit, but he’d been up there when Luke took down the Death Star. There was no way he could’ve made that shot on pure luck. No way in hell. His gaze slid across the bar, settling on a pair of women, looking them up and down slowly. If only they weren’t on a mission.

    “No, I don’t. All my ideas went out the window when this laser-brain decided to shoot at those Imps,” Leia said, scowling at Han when he let out an indignant noise. “Don’t even start with me, Solo. It was supposed to be a quick little mission. Not the shit show that you started back there.” She settled back into her seat, taking a long drink of her ale as she glared at the three of them. “I don’t even know how we’re going to get back to the ship. They’ve probably got the hangar on lockdown.”

    “Oh c’mon, princess. Trust me for once. We’ve just got to wait for everything to die down,” Han said, looking between her and Luke. “We’ve just got to blend in. So just relax, okay?” His words weren’t working. Leia just scowled at him for a moment before sighing, muttering something about them being idiots before taking another sip of her ale.
    Oris thought for a moment as she regarded the table. The wookie didn’t seem to be bothered with anything like the others were. In fact, he or she seemed almost amused at whatever they were discussing. “I mean, one of us could go for the woman.” She paused, squinting a little. “Does she look familiar to you? I feel like I’ve seen her before,” she murmured, her mind stuck on just how familiar she looked. She couldn’t imagine her being anyone famous, for any being like that wouldn’t be caught dead in that bar. A politician maybe, but even then, the Imperials all dressed alike, and she didn’t look anything close to an Imperial.

    “If I could get the blonde away from the table, I might be able to get something out of him.” It was easy to get credits out of men of any species. All she had to do was bat her eyelashes a little, flirt a little, and make them feel sorry for her. And if that didn’t work, she wasn’t above luring them out into the alley and pointing her blaster at them. She didn’t like doing it, but she hated Coruscant even more by that point. Now that she was watching the four of them, they all looked a little familiar. Maybe she’d seen them on a wanted holo or something. Not that she could judge. She’d been on her fair share of wanted holos. “So what are you thinking?”

    "We'll be on our way soon," Luke said, forcing a small smile to try to stay positive. "Fighting between ourselves isn't going to help our situation." Chewbacca made a noise and nodded. "Thanks, Chewie. Look, all we have to do is blend in for a bit. And from the looks of it, no one really suspects us being anything out of the ordinary! Sure the hangar might be-"

    "I'm going to look, I'll be back soon," Leia said quietly. She pulled her hood up over her head and began to stand. "You two can both stay put, and try not to draw attention to yourselves." She gave a pointed look at Han, before stepping out of the booth and leaving the bar.

    Luke was going to try to argue, but he knew that it would probably do little to no good if he did. Once Leia wanted to do something, he was going to do it. He admired that about her. She was very strong willed and never let anyone tell her what to do or how to do it.
    "Maybe she... I don't know," Keyan replied, giving her head a small shake. "She does look kind of familiar, but I can't place it. Maybe we fucked her over before." Keyan laughed quietly, kind of joking. She usually remembered the people she hustled, it made it easier when she had to find someone else to swindle money out of later. Keyan noticed the brown haired man at the table looking towards them, but kept her eyes on the table long enough to see the woman put her hood up and walk away. "Well if we're going to do something we might as well go now," she said, sliding off her chair. She spun around and downed the rest of her mug, unzipped her shirt a little bit more to show a bit more cleavage, then turned back around.

    "Lets get this done before she comes back, she'll definitely give us trouble."

    Keyan gave Oris a little smile and a quiet "Lets do this," before setting off through the bar, easily weaving through the tables until she reached the one with the two men and the wookie. She grinned at the blonde, the wookie, then the brown haired man.

    "Hey fellas," she said, sitting down next to the brown haired guy. "Got room for a couple more?"

    [Sorry I didn't get to this 'til tonight! Today got a bit hectic! tehe]

    Han was rolling his eyes so hard at Luke’s positivity that he was a little afraid they’d get stuck up there in his skull. They were working fine, however, when they whipped over to glare at Chewie. He wasn’t supposed to agree with the kid. Chewie was supposed to agree with Han. He watched as Leia spoke up, letting out a soft sigh. “Good luck, princess. Try not to get yourself killed, yeah?” He asked, earning a glare from the woman. He just shot her a wide grin in response, shrugging his shoulders as though he hadn’t been trying to be a smart ass.

    “Okay, so kid, what are you - “ He cut himself off the second a couple of women approached the table. Up close, they were even more attractive. He quirked a brow at them, ignoring the way Chewie was probably giving him some sort of look. “Oh, I think we could make some room,” he said, sliding his gaze over to Luke for a moment. Just because they were cute, well, that didn’t mean a thing. “You two come here often?”
    Oris winced at the thought of the woman having been one of their marks. She wasn’t always the best with remembering faces - Keyan was always the better one at that - and it had gotten her into more scrapes than she’d like to recount. “I don’t know if we did, though. She just… Looks familiar.” If she was some sort of politician, she could only hope that she was with the Alliance. They always seemed to go easier on criminals than the Empire did. She let out a snort of laughter as the sight of her partner unzipping her shirt a little, shaking her head as she finished off her ale and hopped down from her seat.

    The three of them at the table looked to be easy enough. She offered the table a warm smile, focusing on the blonde one. There was a little part of her that always felt bad for doing stuff like this, especially to naive beings that didn’t see it coming. But survival was survival, as harsh as it was. “Sadly, yeah. The drinks are for shit, but the company’s not too bad,” she said, taking a seat next to the blonde. She glanced around the table, stopping on the blonde. “What about you? You guys come here often?”

    "No we're-" Luke paused, not sure where to go with this. He wasn't exactly against talking to the people who lived here, but he wasn't sure who he could trust and who he couldn't. He didn't want to say something to imply that they were part of the Rebellion. "We're just planet hopping. Landed a couple of days ago to sight see."

    There wasn't so much to sight see on a planet covered in industrialized cityscapes, but Luke figured it was a good enough explanation. No one needed to know it was for official business. He didn't really think these two women really wanted to know his life story. They were both stunningly beautiful, realistically out of his league. Sure, he had the force, but really he was just a kid from Tatooine.
    "If you two were looking for something fun to do I'm sure we could find something for us to do," Keyan said playfully, smiling between the two men. She kind of felt bad, every time they had to swindle people out of credits or something else. She knew she could probably find a way to make an honest living, but she'd been essentially a street rat since she was a kid. This was all Keyan really knew how to do. She knew she was a bad person, but it was what it was. The nicer a person looked, the worse she felt about targeting them. The blonde at the table looked rather innocent and kind, so she did feel guilty, but she knew she had to do it if she ever wanted to leave the shitty planet she wanted to get off of so desperately.

    "You look like you're one who isn't afraid of a little adventure," Keyan said a little quieter, directing her sentence this time to the brown haired man. He looked less innocent than the other, that was for sure. He didn't look like a bad person or anything, but he did look more willing to do something reckless and stupid. "What's your name?"

    Han was thanking his lucky stars that Leia had left when she did. He liked her well enough. Hell, there were times when he thought that he more than liked her. But she had this annoying little habit of killing any chance he had with anyone whenever she was around. And if she had been there, she would have sputtering the whole time, trying to get those girls away. And sure, there was a decent chance that they were up to something because the bar was shitty enough that no one attractive would have hung around there if they were respectable as well. But the one talking to him was cute. He wasn’t going to turn her away just because she might be trying to pull one over on him - even if he wasn’t exactly sure how she was trying.

    “Oh, I’m not sure if we’re looking for your kind of fun, sweetheart,” he said, shooting her a grin. He leaned back in his seat, slinging his arm over the side as he watched her. “I’ve had my fair share of adventure,” he shrugged. “I’m Han.” He knew that the Alliance would have probably preferred that he use a name other than his own, but Han was common enough. Besides, she didn’t look like an Imperial. “What’s yours?”
    Oris cocked a brow at his pause. Planet hopping. Sure. “You guys thought that Coruscant would be a good place to sight see?” She asked, a small smirk making its way onto her lips. That was hard to believe. There were a lot of things to do on the planet, and very few of them would have counted as sight seeing. “What have you guys seen so far?” There was something tickling at the back of her mind. They seemed too casual for the Imperials. Even when they had men or women undercover, there was always something a little snooty about a member of the Empire. Alliance members, however, seemed a little more rough around the edges.

    And the blonde definitely wasn’t rough around the edges, but he wasn’t snooty either. Out of his little group of friends, he seemed like he’d be the most believable to be sight seeing. “You go see the old Jedi Temple?” That might have been the most touristy spot on the planet, and that wasn’t even an actual spot. The whole area was restricted, but with the right knowhow, a being could sneak their way in. If they really were sightseeing, they’d have already been there. Or she could take him herself - for a fee. “I’m Oris, by the way.”
