If Han could travel back in time, he's pretty sure he'd have said "no" instead when the guy had asked him if he was willing to take on another imPort. You know. For veracity, or something. But no, instead he's said "yes" and now he's got a wide-eyed kid with a letterman jacket looking out at the skies like he's never gone any higher than this.

...it's sort of like three years ago, he thinks, when he picked up a wide-eyed farm boy and an old fossil from Tatooine.

"Ever gone up in a balloon before?" Because up until today Han hadn't either, and he's been learning on the job, as it were.
