You've reached Bail Organa. Leave a message and I'll get back to you. Unless you're Grand Moff Tarkin.

[oratorical]

To say the least.

[given not just Ben's existence, but everything surrounding her first meeting with him, from the setting to the reason for that setting to what was said. But those details are best not shared. Not yet, at least.]

He hasn't even been born in my time. I don't know if I would've believed it if Han hadn't been here and found out first.

[bailedontheempire]

I can... see how that would be stranger yet.

[He at least knew she existed. He just expected her to be underfoot.]

I'd like to meet him.

[oratorical]

[Well. About that. Leia glances away just briefly, but her attention is back on Bail soon enough. She actually isn't sure how Ben would react to him. Nor does she even know where to begin with... literally everything else Ben does like.]

I can take you to visit him sometime.

[Because maybe that's better than her giving him directions and sending him off on his way.]

[bailedontheempire]

I'd like that.

Even with everything else... it's always been family, that matters most.

[It's all so wonderful to hear, that there's more. What more could he ask for?]

[oratorical]

[A grandson that doesn't idolize Darth Vader, for one.]

It is. Out of everything I've learned about the future, Ben is the best part by far.

[Well. And also the worst part, given things. But even as big of a trainwreck as he is, knowing Ben exists is still something she's glad about.]

Han is family too, though.

[Just because well. She's not entirely sure how he feels about Han, even with her reassurances to Han that Bail probably liked him.]

[bailedontheempire]

[He's still not entirely sure what to make of Han, if he's to be perfectly honest. He doesn't know him very well yet. But in the end, only one things matters.]

He makes you very happy, doesn't he?

[oratorical]

He does.

[He's stubborn and loud and they may bicker somewhat often (even if they're working on that, thanks to Kylo), but everything else balances those negatives out.]

I know he's different than anyone you might have thought I would end up with, but I promise he's a good man.
