#han solo approaches wildcat and counters hissing rage of anxiety with forehead kiss and gentleness  #han solo would have countered this with combative sarcasm just one week ago  #han solo has been waiting to drop that act for so long he goes right to ‘gentle affection’ literally the week after they make out  #han solo’s internal monologue after their previous spats was probably ‘istg princess one day I’m gonna LAVISH YOU WITH DEVOTION’  #‘that’ll show you!’  #han solo is a giant marshmallow who throws himself into selfless affection and support at the drop of a taun-taun

I also just really love how he manages to do this without it seeming patronising. It’s not a “there there, don’t bother your pretty little head” kiss, it’s a “babe, I understand why you’re upset but I just want to remind you that we can deal with this together and it’s going to be okay” kiss.
“Also your hair looks pretty like that.”
