Luke caught up to Mara, jogging across the sand to put a hand on her shoulder.  Worry was etched on every line of his face (and at over six decades, there were a fair few), and carried through a thread in his voice when he spoke.

"What's going on?" he asked, brows drawn together and blue eyes fretful.  "Mara, what just happened?"

As the waiter came back with the drinks, Han's face fell and morphed into utter confusion with what he was presented with. This thing was nothing like he had imagined it. And what was that in there? He turned to the waiter.

"Why does the beer have floating pieces of white-" he was about to say something he regretted in front of the women, bit his tongue and continued "white...stuff in it?" She gave him a look back, shrugging.

"Sir, this is a root beer float. Would you like me to come back with a normal beer?" The scoundrel looked at the so called root beer again, his eyes dotting between the glass and the waitress before he spoke.

"I'll keep this too." He might as well try it, since he had paid for it.

Leia silently chuckled and snuggled deeper into the crook of Han's arm. Then she frowned, spying only one spoon served with his ice cream concoction. "Tragic. Looks like we're sharing."

She took a long sip of her drink.

"You're still not a drinker," she cooed toward the other side of the table.

"Unless it's hot chocolate. And then he is a certified addict. If my vice is iced caf, his is hot chocolate." Mara smiled at her husband, squeezing his hand.

She picked up her drink with her free hand and sipped at it, raising her eyebrows. Tasty.

"Sadly, it's a little warm here for hot chocolate." Luke affected disappointment, but sipped his drink when it arrived. It wasn't bad, and the alcohol taste wasn't such that he thought he might need to use the Force to help metabolize the alcohol so he wasn't making a fool of himself. "This isn't that bad though."

He thumbed through the menu again, looking at the food, rubbing his thumb against Mara's hand idly as he thought. "Honestly, after today I think I could eat a whole nerf by myself."

"I'm just trying to figure out what half of these things on the menu are," Han admitted, tentatively sipping the root beer. Eeerk, this thing was way too sweet for him. He gave Leia a smile and pushed the drink and spoon over to her. "You can have it all, if you want."

After this whole root beer fiasco, he wasn't about to take a food choice that somehow ended him with something terrible or live animals. "The pictures aren't helping either...am I reading correctly, or does this menu claim to have dino ribs (http://gastronomist.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/flintstones_ribs.jpg)?"
