If he's lost anything more than the privilege of minding her legs and feet tonight, it would be deeply regrettable. Most of the time they are good together and better than they ought to be, all things considered. Her a good influence on him as well.
His apology that seemed to offend them both despite it not coming out in spite or mockery was the result of conditioning. When you step out of line, especially around your betters, you need to smooth things over. He'd been taught that lesson by stern hands from an early age. Sometimes, he was even smooth enough in his words to put things back to right before everything got too off course, but not this time, apparently ...
Trust that it lacked the passion and recognizable sarcasm of a proper Han Solo insult. The Captain is many things, but subtle is a fairly infrequent occurrence for him.
The thief did learn something about Brienne of Tarth, though, just now. More than just that she's from a backwater place where they didn't yet possess the technology that was so wide spread in his galaxy. Just as well that she has nothing to say to Han because he's starting to think that he might not have much left to say to her either.
