Sometimes he was. Others he... we had a strained relationship.
[It was the only answer she would get about him, honestly. He never talked to anyone about his father - not Rey, not anyone back home. He'd kept it all locked inside. His disappointment sat right in there with his guilt over killing probably one of the few people in his life he'd ever loved.
His father had often struggled with how to even be a father, he's come to realize. Han had always been restless, just as he was. If Han couldn't fix it with a blaster it wasn't something he could easily fix. He had spent so much time burying himself in things he was good at that he missed out on some of the years of his life where he could have really used a father by his side. Instead he'd gotten Luke and that had been a terribly poor substitute.]
Experience makes it easier to judge, but at least you aren't likely to have an arm or a hand cut off this way.
[Whether he was being serious or not was up in the air. And for her sarcasm he pokes her roughly in one side, meeting her tit for tat. His hands move to rest on her shoulders, checking to see her hold on the blade from her point of view. He was several inches taller than her than her, despite her own height being close to Rey's. It gave him a better picture. Up close like this, her fading blue hair]
Just being able to understand the weight of the weapon in your hands, being able to move it without it moving you, would give you enough defensive capability. It might feel heavy in your hands now but that won't always be the case.
