[It's 2 AM when this message pops up on the network—it had been meant for Lando's more private channel, but. Well. Considering Han's early morning texting habits, this was bound to happen at some point.]

hey Lando if you're still up I need some help

where are all the best places to take someone out for a classy first date

[Oops.

He doesn't wait for a response or even check if he posted it to the right place before he passes out for an hour or two. In the very near future, he's going to come to regret that.]

I know how at least one of your supposedly 'classy dates' goes in the future. I've had to deal with it for years.

yeah but that's in the future

right now I just want to have dinner

I'd ask if you have any romance in your soul but I already know there's no room for either

It's just dinner now but 30 years later I'm the one dealing with what happens later.

You would be right about that, I wouldn't deny it.

what happens after dinner is none of your business bantha-brains

I don't want details, believe me. I already know more than I've ever wanted to know from what I've learned over the last five years from him.

good I'm not giving you any

so what are you still doing here

text

[therewillbeorder]

Giving you the most helpful advice you could hope for. You met him, after all.

[carbonfrozen]

that is not helpful

you are the least helpful person I can think of to ask

text

[therewillbeorder]

It's the least I could do for having to put up with him for many years.

[carbonfrozen]

I am being helpful, more than you could realize now. You'll be thanking me in 30 years.
