[He looks unconvinced by that, scratching the back of his neck.] It was a little more than just getting along, actually.
[At his time-point, all the attraction was on his end and he's not yet unaware of any reciprocity on her part (or three years of denial, as the case may be).]
Just because we get married in the future, that doesn't mean she's gonna appreciate getting a... uh... jump start on it.
You could ask her to have dinner with you and then not bring up the breach at all. Then no one is talking about it, but you can still see if there's something there.
[In enough ways that some days it feels like too much, and yet still the only choice is to press on. She can't even really tell Han it'll all end up alright, because it won't be that easy. He has such a troubling road ahead of him and if she gets her deal there's a happy ending there somewhere, but right now, at this second, his road ends with him dead.

[Hi there avoidance, old friend.]
Bringing it up kinda feels like ruining the mood, you know?
[He'll just be over here enjoying the calm before that particular storm.]
NO I LOST THIS TAG I'M SO SORRY

no worries!
[So unconvinced.]
This place has made everything so... different.
[In that knowing about all the bad things that happen in the future makes him much less inclined to press things than he would've been otherwise.]
