The question takes him by surprise, mostly because the idea doesn't take him surprise. It's half of why he's looking at maps; finding a place to refuel will be easy enough, but a place that might have work they could handle without too much fuss is a little trickier. They need to stay under the radar, and it's probably better if they don't lean on the Republic more than they have to. It's the kind of thing Han used to be very good at, but the stakes are too high to be careless.]
Have you... [Yeah, he doesn't want to ask, but he's got to.] Did you talk to Ben about finding work?
[It's just, Chewbacca wouldn't have mentioned it and he hasn't talked to Kitty yet. He'd be surprised to learn she spoke with his son about anything, but if not, why is she bringing it up?]
