Laura almost has to laugh, and she almost does, because the sheer
guile of the pair of them trying to actually sneak around when their
wardens are Wolverine and Luke Skywalker would be funnier if
she wasn't one of said wardens -- and if they hadn't actually managed to
get away with it for as long as they probably have, if Luke's earlier
suspicions were, in fact, about this.
But instead she just smiles and sighs, somewhere between fond and
exasperated, like this is somehow typical Ford Pines, and she shakes
her head gently. "If you're sure," she says slowly, "then I ... am sorry
that you felt like you couldn't trust me." That must be on her, on some
level. She could have been more involved, maybe. Kept closer contact with
him, to make sure she could be someone he trusted more. "How did it
happen?"
Which is really what she meant by that first how. She has zero
interest in the mechanics of it all, and is more concerned with how --
emotionally -- they got from 'fuck that guy' to ... well. Probably the same
words with a different inflection.
