[ That gets a wry twist of his lip. The truth is he really doesn't care who knows, on some level. The choice is worth being proud of. But... At the same time, he's not sure anyone would believe it. Han has spent a lifetime cultivating his scoundrel reputation; for anyone who doesn't know him well, he could see how it would seem unbelievable. Another brag.
And even if people believed it-- well. It's not such an unfamiliar story, is it? He should've been an officer, except he didn't exactly play well with Imperial leadership. He fought back, robbed the Empire, freed slaves, did his part to fund the Rebellion--
And then left, with no plans to return to the cause.
That's the part he figures won't go over well. He could have been there from the beginning, and he refused, and he ran like hell. It looks cowardly. It wasn't cowardice, but he knows how it looks. And however grudgingly, he respects these people; it matters, if they think badly of him. ]
Enfys can keep credit for it. She worked pretty damn hard.
