Fly Like A Falcon, Sting Like A Scorpion

Miscommunication

When Falkner woke up, he saw that the not furry creature sat beside him on the bed he laid on. The creature made a calming gesture with his hands as Falkner pressed himself in a corner, unsure of how to react to the situation he was in. The creature pointed at himself and said in a quiet voice. "Han." Falkner understood and when Han pointed to him, he responded easily. "Falkner." Han nodded understandingly. "Han." He said and pointed to himself, then back at Falkner. "Falkner." Then he gestured out of the room. "Chewbacca." He said with a smile.
Falkner understood what Han meant and nodded. Han held out a piece of paper with a drawing of the ship on, and Falkner grabbed it, he was handed a pencil from Han and he drew the fruit he had eaten on it. Han gestured for the other to stay as he went to the forward hold and picked out a snowhite fruit. He brought the fruit back to Falkner who nodded as he saw it. The SnowWhite fruit, Han knew, was known for its ability to make those who eat it fall into a comatose-like sleep, similar to the ancient earth story of the woman named Snow white.
Han was surprised at his own actions as he found the stranger on his ship, he knew it was uncharacteristic of him, Chewie had also pointed that out but still: something about Falkner intrigued him greatly.

The weeks flew by and the three crewmembers of the Millenium falcon was doing their normal 'shipping' for different clans around the Aristotle galaxy. Every moment which Falkner had to spare, he used in learning the Human and Wookie languages. And though their weeks together seemed timeless as they hyperdrived across the galaxies, it seemed like it ended way too quickly.
Han looked over at his two companions as he ended a call with the Rebellion. "It was General Leia Organa-Skywalker, she said that she needs us back at the base." He explained. "Who is Leia?" Falkner asked. Han sighed and looked back out the window and into the darkness which surrounded them. "Leia is the woman I once loved, the mother of my son." Falkner put a hand on his friend's shoulder. "What happen?" He asked. Han shrugged. "We grew apart, our love was not meant to be." Falkner looked at Han with interest gleaming in his eyes. "Son...you have child, Han?" Falkner asked. Han smiled lightly. "Yes, Obi Wan Solo... or just Ben, as we call him... He is three years now." Han's face turned sad again. "I barely ever see him." Chewbacca let out a sympathetic sound and looked at Han. "I sorry, Han." Falkner mumbled. "I did not mean sadden you..." "It's ok, I know that, Falc." Han replied with a soreness in his voice.
Chewbacca pressed in the coordinates to the Rebel base and set the Millennium Falcon into hyperdrive. Chewbacca took the main steering as he saw that his friend deeded a moment to get back to his normal, cheerful self. As they exited hyperspace Han was again cracking jokes and telling Falkner and Chewie cocky stories about his time before the Rebellion. "And as the giant Gabbarey was about to swallow me and Lando, I got the brilliant idea of u-" Han's story was cut short as the communicator sparked to life. "Captain Solo, I see your ship approaching, you must clarify yourself before we can let you into the base." A voice said from the radio. Han sighed. "I am Han Solo, captain and part of the Rebellion Alliance, together with me on the ship is Chewbacca the Wookie who is my first mate, and Falkner Leste, our gunman-in-training." Han replied to the caller. "Allright, we will open the gates for you." Came the response. In front of them, a snowy cave opened up and the Falcon flew in and landed on the platform in front of them.
Han let the motors die and jumped out of his chair. Falkner and Chewbacca followed after him. Falkner grabbed his spear and exited the ship. The first thing he saw was a golden creature which seemed to attack Han. Falkner shouted a battlecry and charged the creature. With all his strength, he pushed the thing away and stood protective in front of Han; hunched down in a battle stance, spear in hand. "Woah, woah, calm down, Falkner! He isn't dangerous." Han said and tapped the Sgorwyllt on the shoulder. "He is a friend. His name is C3PO." Falkner straightened himself and looked at the creature named C3PO. "Hello I Falkner Leste. I be apologize. Think you hurt
Han." Falkner explained apologetically. "Ah, no worries, I do apologise for my rather emotional greeting, master Solo." C3PO said in his robotic voice.
"Han! Chewie!" A blonde man ran up to the four people and threw himself at Han and Chewbacca in a tight hug. "Luke, it's been a long time, you little brat." Han cheered and ruffled the man's long hair.
"Who is the guy with the tail?" Luke asked as he saw Falkner. Han smiled towards his newest companion with a row of pearly, white teeth. "I am Falkner Leste." Falkner said and hugged Luke, like he had seen Han do. Luke laughed and patted Falkner's back. "He's quite friendly." He laughed and looked at Han. "He is still learning our gestures." Han replied. "His kin greets each other with their tails. I guess he thought hugging is our way."
Falkner ended the hug and stepped away from Luke, seeing that he had done something wrong. "Look, pal; this is how we greet each other." Han said and took Falkner's hand in his. Falkner looked up at Han, their eyes met and a spark of energy seemed to surge between hazel and pink.
Han swallowed hard and broke the connection between them as he reluctantly turned away from the Sgorwyllt.
