Not one to pass up a good business opportunity, Ben’s behind the counter, aiming to earn some credit toward what’s left of his tab.

The bar is fairly quiet at the moment, so Ben’s leaning on one elbow, doodling on a napkin.

"Copper, officer, lawman, sheriff, regulatin' agency. S'all the same. Go huntin' for the people who're breaking the law, and stop them from doin' it, am I right?"

Why Earth people have so many different words for the same thing, he's got no idea.

"And yeah. It's my life. Nobody to tell me what to do."

[the_gene_genie]

None of the other words are right, as far as Gene's concerned. And that's all that matters to him.

'Yeah, tha's th' job.'

He lights another fag, still eyeing the bloke, then offers the pack over.

'Nobody bloody tells me wha' t'do neither. An' I do some good. D'you do anythin' with this ship you drive?'

"Currently fightin' a war to defend the galaxy against the Imperial Empire. They're trying to take over and destroy everything that stands in their way. Enslave populations, crush the opposition, the usual 'bastard has a death wish' sort of deal."

A slightly wicked grin crosses his features.

"And it's fun as hell to run 'round chasin' them down and blowing them to bits."

[the_gene_genie]

'Oh, I see. Like an astronau' soldier.'

Well. That puts this bloke in a whole new light. Gene can always appreciate how fun it is to blow bastards up.

'You wan' a drink?'

[rebel-falcon.livejournal.com]

"Sure," Han replies. "Love one."

Anything to ignore the debt in his tab at the moment is highly appreciated.

"Next round's on me, though. And yeah, you're right. Astronaut soldier."

[the_gene_genie]

It probably says quite a lot about Gene that a) 'astronaut soldier' is a perfectly acceptable and brilliant job description and, b) that he would word it like that in the first place.

...he is a bit more sophisticated than this would lead people to believe, but it's buried deep where not a lot of people see it.

'Don' worry abou' it. You can show me your spaceship instead, like you said.'

And in six years time, when a certain movie comes out, he'll have the damndest feeling of deja vu.
