He's gotta be honest, he didn't expect a breakneck subject change like that. The crowds he runs with are direct. Often uncomfortably so, but he's used to it. To the point that he's come to expect it from everyone. Wouldn't be the first time, however, he's noticed that you can't count on people of the Nexus to be like what you're expecting.
Certainly he can appreciate that Red is ... complicated. And speaking of complicated, there's the matter of his question. Did he go easy on Kirk? Han takes a pull for his glass and really thinks over his answer.
"Lose the fight even as you win it?" He says with a frown. "Starfleet had way more fight in him than I expected, but I came to get paid. My win or my loss tonight is defined by how heavy my wallet feels when I leave here."
