They've been through worse, they know each other, and humor, I think, is one of their great coping mechanisms.

I can certainly see it being handled badly in the wrong hands with lots of mushy stuff. But really, these are two people who have been through a lot and know how to handle a crisis, so I thought you did a great job with just having Leia handle everything smoothly, just taking control of the situation and doing what needed to be done without getting too worked up. <br /><br />I loved the joking about how he's the only one who can cook rather than getting too sentimental there. And nice that it was written in the first person, so Han can tell himself that he's terrified but he never admits it to Leia. Except he knows that she knows anyway. Just a nice piece showing them being so in tune with each other.

I actua...SR, thank you so much for the kind words! I actually got the siren idea from my parents, who would freeze up when they heard them. (Growing up in Belfast, NI, during WWII would do this to a person.) They never got over jumping just a bit when they'd hear a siren go off, which I suspect is the result of their situation. It seemed to be something that Han and Leia would likely not be comfortable with as a result of war. <br /><br />I can't see Han nor Leia falling apart in the situation I've described. Yes, they'd both be upset, but they have perspective as well, and I think they'd be far more likely to laugh and joke with one another as calming behaviors. Also, Mr.Stats and I are similar in some ways to them. Five years ago, it was a very bad time in my life, and what I really wanted for Christmas was to see my brothers and sisters. Mr. Stats never said a word until I came home from a night class and he informed me that he'd booked us on a trip to see our families and he'd gotten the hotel and rental car taken care of. That impressed me far more than if he'd gone mushy on me. (I would also have to assume he suffered a head injury.) Yes, we do tell each other I love you, but it's not our primary MO,<br /><br />Again, thank you.StatsGrandma's Office Hourshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06128031887455320394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591963962547240042.post-38596367678543640892013-04-28T17:19:20.880-05:002013-04-28T17:19:20.880-05:00Argh!

It felt like a very realistic slice of life piece. I also thought it was the perfect followup to the "action speaks louder than words" discussion (which, I loved, btw. Even if I didn't get a chance to participate). You did so well showing their obvious closeness and caring for each other without needing to go over the top with mushy proclamations, etc.<br /><br />"I modified it so that it wouldn 't sound like a siren. Leia and I get tense at sirens."--I really, really, loved this detail for some reason. It was just a passing thought, but it seemed so spot on. And a subtle reminder of how much those two have been through. I just thought that was really cool.<br /><br />You also did a fantastic job of capturing Han's voice. It seemed very in character. Anyway, loved this. Thanks so much for sharing it!Stoned Rosenoreply@blogger.com
