( She is definitely not so old. She may be more than willing to tolerate a lot from him, considering the gap between them, but she's still Leia Organa. Her hair must be respected!
The air goes out of him when she sees him. She's seen him many times in her dreams and they've almost always gone poorly. The ones who go well hurt even more. She's had visions. But it is different to have him stand there and to hear his voice. Leia takes in a deep breath and lets it out.)
They wouldn't be the first people to underestimate me.
( Leia decides to shuck off hesitation and uncertainty, they've never done her well, and she walks right up to him. It's enough to be near him, to let her dark eyes move over his face. )
Ben. ( She reaches out with a hand to set it on his arm, if he allows her to. ) Thank you for coming.
