Not sure that's why babies are small and cute, but I see what you mean.
It's hard to argue that logic when it apparently worked for it.
[ cassian is a softie and one day the truth's gonna get Out. unrelated note: please no one ever hand Finn a baby ever he will physically disintegrate because of how small it is. ]
What's it eat? And when?

[ Poe nudges the bacon around in their one skillet, which is sibling to their one pot, in which eggs are currently boiling.
NOT LOOKING AT FINN, WHO PRESUMABLY IS LIKE AT THE TABLE OR SOMETHING: ]
So I might-- I am going camping for a week. Soon. Next month soon
[ Oh and ftr Poe is definitely, definitely black and blue and bandaged all over. MORNING, BUDDY. ]

[ YEAH, NOTHING SUSPICIOUS AT ALL ABOUT POE TODAY, WOW. Beat to hell, acting kinda weird, that seems fine.
It doesn't matter if he isn't looking at Finn. Finn is looking directly at him. He's summoning up all of his morning energy, of which he has a lot suddenly and maybe some of its best friend, concern, to give Poe a Look. ]
Right. [ That's not strictly a "yes I accept this full statement at face value" right. It's a "gearing up" right. ] I'm gonna assume you're going for fun or for a mission. Not going into hiding after whatever the hell happened to you.
[ Because surely Poe would have to mysteriously leave today if he were going into hiding from... the law or something.
Sounding like a calm reasonable human is a lot of work. It always takes so much work to sound like a calm reasonable human. Possibly because Finn's almost never calm and it's a toss-up how reasonable he is on any given day. ]
If your plan was to skip over the part where I ask if you're okay, I've got some bad news for you, Poe Dameron.

Well. No one's turned Kylo Ren up dead yet, so I don't think I need to head into hiding. That counts as okay, right?
[ CASUAL CASUAL SUPER CASUAL. Because admitting you tangled with the Lord of Darkness or Whatever yet again is just something to drop on a person.
Immediately: ] I wasn't by myself. John was there.
[ There's a brief, funny look on Poe's face, while he wrestles with his mix of jealousy, admiration, and attraction. ] The whole Sith Mind Trick thing didn't work on him. And he shot Ren. Twice.

[ Consider: no??? There is no chill here. No chill, we live on impulse and sharp edges like emotionally unstable men.
There's nothing he can do about it now, he tells himself. It's already over. Nobody is half-dead in a hospital. Poe wasn't alone (and thank pretty much everything in the free universe for that). John is apparently immune to the Force or something complicated like that and he shot Kylo Ren twice.
At least it ended on a high note.
Finn takes a moment. Maybe a few moments. Breathes in through his nose. Looks at something and thinks about the little details of it, the way Cisco suggested during that whole thing with the fireworks.
There are a few things trying to demand his attention on their own individual levels, and he has to personally wrestle each one of them back down. Because it probably isn't the done thing to start yelling and hope for the best before breakfast. ]
Does that count as okay? [ DOES IT??? ] Because the longer I know you, the more I think we've got a lot of different definitions for these things.

[ Poe actually winces. ]
No, it doesn't. I know it doesn't.
[ Poe forks one of the slices of bacon onto a waiting plate, not looking at Finn. ] Didn't plan it, Finn, I swear. I just saw him and--
[ Poe swallows. He hadn't been able to explain to John, not properly, but Finn knows everything. ] I panicked. Tried to shoot him, standing a foot away from me, emptied the gun at him with John right there.
[ It was anger, sure, it was white-hot rage, but it was both more and less than that, too. ] I panicked.
No, it doesn't. I know it doesn't.

[ At least John was there. That's maybe as good a mantra as any to pick up. Sometimes that's the best he can do by positive thought. At least John was there, so if it had gone down the worst possible road, as things so easily can in any situation-- at least Poe wasn't by himself.
Too late for urgency, not that his heart rate quite believes that yet. Can't go back and change it. It's hard to figure out what he's feeling, exactly. What he knows is it's sharp around the edges and maybe he ought to just get used to feeling it. Finn opts not to think about it too deeply. Stuff to deal with later. ]
Can't blame you.
[ He can't exactly judge someone for an impulse decision. He'd never judge Poe for panicking, all things considered, and further considering the time he personally tried to haul Poe and Rey out of the city because of a prank.
He thinks he'd love it if this moon would cut Poe Dameron a break once in a while. ]
You need a medic?

[ it's... okay, real talk it's legit three in the morning and jyn is standing at finn and poe's front door with her hand poised to knock but second guessing herself because she doesn't want to wake up poe.
instead, she blows up finn's phone with no less than fifteen WAKE UP texts and a polite request to come to the door right now. if he doesn't answer in a minute she will start all over. if he doesn't answer in a minute after that she might break in, we don't know. ]
Come on. Wake up!

[ It really is three in the actual morning and this is happening. It takes a few texts in for Finn to wake up, but the alerts do in fact wake him up. When they left the room they used to share with Rey, he'd said he would keep his phone on and nearby if she ever needed anything. It's been over a month, but he keeps his promises.
Whatever it's fine he doesn't sleep through the night half the time anyway.
He's not expecting a stream of WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP please come to the door, etc. from Jyn??? Literally at all? When reality registers 100%, he rolls out of bed like someone lit a fire under his butt. And just kinda lets his phone catch the next wave of texts while he jams his boots on just in case and scrambles for the door.
SUP JYN NICE TO SEE YOU? ]
Are you okay?
[ ok look he has priorities and if they're gonna go bury a body or something he'd like to at least know she's okay first. ]

[ in hindsight... maybe slightly dramatic of her. ]
I'm fine. If I tell you something will you promise not to tell anyone, including Rey and Poe and Cassian? [ this seems monumental, no one else can know finn. maybe she did kill someone and needs to hide a body, we don't know. we really don't. ]

[ the way jyn shrugs seems to imply that finn might die if he tells anyone but you know she didn't say it outloud so it is not an outright threat. ]
Cassian kissed me.
[ finn is bad at people like they are bad at people. if she were to go to someone like taako or poe she might have to gently strangle them so they'd stop gloating. ]

[ Finn mentally stumbles for a sec. Between not knowing what to expect, yet knowing he didn't expect to hear that, some re-calibration is necessary. ]
-- what?
[ Guess who has two thumbs and legit never stopped to think about Jyn and Cassian as a potential... Thing. He's just been like okay yeah they've been through a lot together, that seems like the appropriate level of ride or die proximity.
You know what he's gonna go ahead and step fully out into the hallway for this. Door closed. The dream.
Finn, who has no idea how one handles these situations and whose "oh worm" credit only extends to a really badly-timed kiss from a seriously injured friend, flounders. And in lacking this vital knowledge of proceedings, opts for straightforward. ]
Is that a good thing?
