[not "I think you owe Han an apology" or "I'd like it if you apologized," because to Leia, there's no debating this. Her tone is warm and understanding, but there's a stern resoluteness behind it usually reserved for giving orders to Alliance personnel. Even if Han himself might not demand an apology from Ezra, or even care to hear it, Leia thinks it's warranted.]
I know it was a heated moment for the both of you. I'm not saying you need to befriend him or even get along with him, but you cannot tell my husband he wouldn't care if I died.
[Because while she does know how bothered Han was by whatever was said, and is likely to still want an apology for whatever Han thought was implied, the full picture of what happened is useful to have.]
I called him to warn him about my vision. As soon as he found out it was a vision, he told me to quit bugging him. All I did was ask him if he cared that you were going to get hurt. I didn't say he didn't!
[That serious tone is still there in her voice when she says his name.]
I am asking, as your friend, for you to apologize to him. You don't need to like Han, but he was bothered by what you said, even if he likely wouldn't admit to it himself.
I told him I was calling about something important. He asked me how important, and I said it was as important as a building falling on your head, because I wanted him to take me seriously, and I said no, I wasn't joking. Then I told him I'd had a vision and he blew me off.
Ezra, if I called you to tell you Kanan had been in an accident and followed it up with the mention that it was a vision and hadn't happened yet, how would you feel?
Well, maybe I would have liked you to tell me it was a vision first, but you know what Han's like! Would he have listened to me if I started off like that?
[They're just arguing in circles, she knows, because as much as she could say Han did listen, going as far as checking in with her to make sure she was all right, Leia knows Ezra would come back with something else about him calling them bad dreams or something. So instead, she sighs.]
Just apologize, Ezra. Please. You don't need to be his friend, but he is my husband, whether you're fond of him or not. And if you take the higher road, he might apologize after for calling your vision a bad dream.
[Ezra would have countered with, sure, Han listens to her, but what about anyone else?
But since she cuts through the circle of their argument to get back to the heart of what she wants, that counter-argument doesn't get made. Instead, Ezra goes right back to scowling.]
I'm not apologizing. [He grits that out, even though he knows Leia's not going to like it.] Han can grow up and figure out that not everything's going to get sugarcoated for him, and he should be glad when people try to give him real warnings, even if he doesn't like how they come.
[Sorry, Leia, but this just isn't something you're going to be able to budge him on.]
[Or at least, how Leia sees it isn't about the delivery of the message. Han might not have been happy about it, and it might have been why he got pissy about Ezra's vision being a vision, but that part isn't what she's as concerned about.]
There are things you can't say to someone's spouse.
Han cares more about my safety than I do at times.
[Something she might have gotten better at, yes, but Leia has lost count of how many times Han has pulled her away from something dangerous or accompanied her despite complaints about how dangerous an idea is to ensure she didn't wind up killed or captured.]

He reached out to me to make sure I was fine shortly before everything happened. He does so regularly, in fact.

And I know he's less likely to get angry if you're upfront with him.
