Lando Calrissian! [ is that happy yelling or mad yelling?? with leia, sometimes it's hard to tell. ] It's Leia Organa. [ that, at least, sounds level. ] I've heard you know some things I don't, like why the Falcon's repairs took so long on Bespin.
Leia! [ His voice is definitely relieved, though he's beginning to suspect this won't turn out the best conversation for him. ] Don't tell me you don't remember either? Luke is one thing, but you were there.
[ She was there, clearly recalling landing but never leaving Cloud City, the sinking feeling in her heart despite han's reassurances, recently sure of the lando version of events conveyed by luke after meeting other rebels from an earlier point in time.
it's possible to arrive here from the future. and even lando couldn't benefit from confessing his sins. ]
It's bothering me, too; don't worry. Luke told me everything.
[ well, not everything, but she doesn't know he left the han part out. she'd probably be angrier at lando, if luke had mentioned it. ]
[ they were both in danger. a beat. then, stiffly: ]
I know what you chose. [ because she made the opposite choice, protecting the rebels and dooming alderaan. every choice ends the same, with the empire. her next words flow after a sigh, softer than before. ] Vader would have forced your hand, if you hadn't offered it.
[ she doesn't respect the move, but it would be cold to refuse to understand it — to allow it. ]
Hey, I did what I needed to do to protect my people. It's not my fault Vader twisted his deal around after you arrived. And I'd like to think I made up for it afterwards!
[ He didn't have to help Leia, Chewie, and Luke escape Bespin. He didn't have to join the Rebellion and help save Han from Jabba. Then again, Bespin wasn't safe anymore after Vader. What else was he going to do? ]

[ That's a relief, he doesn't have to go through it all again. Now, if only she'll believe him. ]
So you know it wasn't my fault. Vader's men arrived before you did. I had no choice.

[ not in so many words. she only acknowledged that vader takes what is not freely given. that the net result would be the same, ultimately. ]
What do you want — a medal of honour? I'm trying to be nice.
[ by leading wth 'i know what you did last summer.' instead of 'i'm mad about what you did last summer.' look, she's trying. a little bit. ]
