[Where is that ringing bell coming from? What about that whistle? Is it the kitchen? No. The garden?

Still no, but you're getting warmer.

Han is waiting for everyone on the field, whistle in his mouth, and bell on the ground (because his hand got tired of ringing the damn thing).]

Finally! Alright, 1, 2, 3.... Do we have everyone here?

[close enough. He then says easily,]

We've got a fun activity today. We're doing trust falls.

Falls. As in multiple.

I expect you guys to partner off-- and don't just stick to someone you know!

[Well, he fell for Hank.

He could fall for Conner, he supposes. Still.]

You want me to fall first?

Yes. Is that a problem?

No-- not at all.

[of all the people he hopes don't drop him, Connor's up there.

so now

he has to prepare himself for this.]

Right, I can fall too, eh?

[ the canada thing is so cute....run away 2 windsor with him ok ]

I won't drop you.

[if they could all run away now, who wouldn't? he'd go back north in a heartbeat.

the school system here is brutal.

He turns around.]

You'd better not, or my feelings will be very hurt, you know?

[ part of his program actually believes that what the heck ]

I --

[ hes not hesitating you're hesitating ]

I wouldn't.

[if only school admin could do things like han will remember that. but for now, he crosses his arms , ready for the fall.

He starts to fall back, better catch him?!]

[ connor catches him, without hesitation and as promised. ]

See? I've got you.

[it's nice to not be let down, and Han looks relieved that so far, the two people he's trusted to catch him... have. Almost like he was prepared to get dropped a lot more.]

That you do.

[he stands up]

[ well when you kidnap people that's probably a fair fear. ]

You don't have to thank me.

[it is absolutely a legit fear. Like Rebecca?

Rebecca would probably relish the chance to drop him.

probably.]

Still. Alright! Trust falls usually go two ways.

You’re not concerned I might be too heavy for you?

[ he’s teasing his social program is way too strong it needs to be stopped. But he turns around all the same. ]

Don't tease me. I'm stronger than I look.

[he says in his slightly too big for him blazer. you know. because he's a nerd.

But he opens his arms, time to catch the android]

[ connor falls back - the real point of this exercise is a little lost on him since he's not afraid to fall but at least he willingly goes through the motions. ]

[this is one of those things where the human-android divide is too great, but also.

like han wasn't going to catch anyone who offered to fall]

[ it's the logical thing to do, but, still: he's glad. ]

Thank you for not dropping me. I'm worth a small fortune.

[connor............................ He helps him up.]

I get the feeling you're harder to break than that.

[ he straightens his jacket and tie - gotta look impeccable even in this school's uniform. ]

At least you won't have to find out.

Dear God, I hope I won't in the future either, eh?

I hear you have enough debt as it is.
