PERHAPS SOME LAW OF COSMIC BALANCE DEMANDED PAYMENT and penance for the crimes he’d committed for the sake of staying alive. Like an otherworldly magistrate … a CORELLIAN GODDESS or an emergency charm against what could’ve been a reckless means to an end. Except, Han didn’t believe in all that kest — never had and never would. Even if such thoughts were what always sprung to mind when the odds stacked against him. Points like these were PARADOXICAL. . . . // @astrayframe
The thought of turning to faith for a second chance ticked him off. This time wasn’t any different.
There was a slight delay in Solo’s movement, stretched into a fraction of a second. Easy to miss how he’d dropped his guard—something Han struggled to do even if he tried. An average life-form would’ve overlooked the minute falter, but what approached him was NOWHERE near the ‘average’ life-form. Han rolled his eyes and holstered his blaster, nonplussed now. He knew what he was dealing with but what in the godsdamned hells were the TENNO doing out HERE? No doubt, this kid was far from home. Wasn’t Teshin the one who’d told him the TENNO were clueless about his system’s location?
Han might never admit it, but when he’d said his goodbyes to Teshin, there had been the amorphous concept that when they would meet again, it’d be in the next life.
With the stench of rotting flesh, carried by the freeze, the smell of smog and grime was thick in the air, reminding him of his very patent and very urgent problem. Perhaps, this TENNO could help ... Han vacillated on the few options left, regarding how the threads of his own disquiet wrapped around his neck, ready to choke him blue.
THE TECHNOCYTE VIRUS MOVED FAST. WITHOUT A CURE, HAN WOULDN’T LIVE TO SEE THE END OF THE MONTH.
Punctuated by a quick flicker of hazel and the slight jerk of his head to the left, then right, Han addressed that anyone could witness this remarkable exchange. The last thing he needed was for this WARFRAME to dominate galaxy-wide headlines.
❝C’mon inside, kid, ‘fore anyone sees.❞
