 Many others of his ilk like to cause a scene or enter with a bang - Stolas, however, is not one for dramatics. He's also one for studying a situation before stepping into it. 

He doesn't immediately ask any questions - instead, he watches the Nexus-goers like someone would people watch. Perhaps a little more intently than some would like, leaving them feeling like an owl is watching them from somewhere. The custom of asking a question makes itself shown quickly, and people like it when customs or traditions are followed. He might as well.

Stolas' voice is on the deeper end of the scale, but clear and calm, sounding like a college professor. "What constellations have you always been able to find, when the sky allows it? Why do you think it's easy for you to find this particular one?"

"More or less," Stolas says easily. Certainly he spends some time on Earth. Does he want people to know right away that he's a Prince of Hell? The anonymity is pleasant. "Really? Where I'm from, the-" he stops himself before saying the humans "people are trying to perfect space travel. Or if not perfect, speed it up so it's no longer a matter of years. There's still danger associated with it, and well, dying in space is something most people want to avoid."

Stolas nods. "Yes. A little sad, in my opinion, but..." He shrugs. With everything that's happened in the past few years on his Earth, maybe it's for the best. He's not about to get into demon politics, or fae politics, or human politics, because they all make him roll his eyes and ruffle his feathers.

"I'm afraid I didn't catch your name?"

Earth is a really strange place from what he's gathered and honestly, kind of sad sometimes with the way that it compares to his home. Even some of the roughest parts of his galaxy seemed more refined in some respects. And yet, the one time he got to see some of it, he could see some of the charm too.

A person is inclined to love their home, he figures. Han can't say he's put more thought into it than that.

"Han Solo." He says, it's the force of habit or perhaps the ego he has that has him adding, "Captain of the Millenium Falcon."

"If I see this lookalike of mine, I'll tell him that I met you," Stolas says. "A captain? Fascinating! How long have you been one?"

"Captain?"

Han regards the question for a moment. He thinks of Captain as the idea of commanding his own vessel and that he's only been doing for a couple of years. Since his friend helped him lease his first ship after getting out of the navy.

"Presuming our years are about the same length of time, four. I've been a pilot for a lot longer."
