[Han would honestly be Offended, down to his very bones, were Cassian ever to compare him to Kaytoo. Some of this is his dislike for droids, exacerbated by Threepio's constant chattering presence on the Falcon, and some of this is just Han's personal dislike of Kaytoo.
Still. Cassian's a rebel in the same vein as Luke and Leia. Han can't not try to help him out a little, even if his idea of help is a bit special.]
of course I never promised anything about not punching him
hope you can hold your liquor, I hear Maurtia Falls has the best bars
It was a designation that had kept Kay protected in the Alliance—where the wounds of the Clone Wars were still so rawly felt, a combat droid was a difficult presence to accept. It was enough for Kay and Cassian to know between themselves it wasn't true. (…Cassian to hope it wasn't true.) And there were enough others even there—techs and meds mainly—who would just as readily call Cassian as "K-2's human". (Because they were the ones who knew what Kay's primary function really was.)
This was a new world. An opportunity to get in on the ground level of establishing droids as equal sentients and so not to be claimed by anyone.
…Except Han is of the old world. And as such could either be talking idiomatically, or have the entrenched ideas…
Either way…
Cassian deletes the sentence unsent.
…either way. It's a conversation he'd like to have with Han. But perhaps after more foundation. Especially if it is a deeper ideological divide.
He thinks Kay would agree with the strategy. If it makes Cassian feel a little angry at himself.
Still. He switches without difficult to thinking about Han and the situation he's getting himself into.

usually only pretend to drink the bulk and act lashed as a front - guess its worth finding out the reality

don't tell Luke I said that

the reality's fun for the night, less so in the morning, but I know some hangover cures
