[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 a few very romantic restaurants, but you have to dress up. Do you own a tie?

[quickfingers]

Bowling alleys are mega romantic. Nothing says classy more than pre-worn shoes.

haven't you been here forever? You should know already. But try an adventure, make it spontaneous, I hear ladies like that.

[therewillbeorder]

Don't.

[He has a bad feeling Kylo Ren is the result of one of these 'classy dates'.]

[onlydoubts]

If you were going to surprise them, you might want to make sure you hit the right channel, first.

[Like two hours later:]

this wasn't supposed to go on the network and no I don't have a tie

[carbonfrozen]

I wasn't asking you and no

those are the least classy things I can think of

[storyseeker]

Oh, I figured. I'm just replying anyway.
You can get a tie! Oh my god. Let me pick out your outfit. I'll make you look super handsome and then you'll definitely need the sock on the door.

I've never had the opportunity to take someone on a date before

and we've had plenty of spontaneous adventure by now, I just want one night where nothing happens except her admitting she likes me

text

[carbonfrozen]

did I ask you

[carbonfrozen]

well I mean I was going to but it's not a big loss if she knows about it

know any places, Rook??

[therewillbeorder]

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

[ HAN. ]

[carbonfrozen]

what's wrong with my clothes they're classy enough

[Han, one of your shirts has a coffee stain on it.]

[Text]

[carbonfrozen]

nobody else was supposed to read this

and I wanna treat her right come on back me up here

text

[carbonfrozen]

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

[storyseeker]

I know you're being reflexively defensive right now and I also know you know they absolutely are not. You're not fooling either of us.

[quickfingers]

oh come on, the smell of lane wax and hotdogs is pretty nice and you know it.

so who's the lucky person you're trying to woo?

text;

[carbonfrozen]

[why do you have to call him out like this]

all right fine because you're SUCH an expert

where can I find a tie I'll get one for myself

[carbonfrozen]

hot dogs do smell delicious but lane wax is not

and she's a princess so I gotta find a place that'll meet her standards

[quickfingers]

and how big is your pocketbook, man?

text

[therewillbeorder]

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.

[carbonfrozen]

bigger than you think

[Stop being defensive, Solo, you sink your savings into fixing up your car regularly.]

text

[carbonfrozen]

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

[ Arthur, for his part, just casually texts Han the address of the restaurant where he went on his date with Lorna. It hadn't been perfect, but the atmosphere was definitely nice! ]
