[ A PERIOD OF SILENCE THAT IS PROBABLY DISCONCERTING while Poe heads to the shuttle and closes himself inside. There's at least some degree of privacy in there. ]
[ MAYBE A LITTLE DISCONCERTING YES. He can't believe Poe is dead for a minute and a half, in the corner of his mind always prepared to assume the Worst. ]
Oh.
[ He wasn't expecting that. Not just in terms of "something stupid," but sort of in general. Finn has about zero gauge on romance, but things seemed pretty chill on that front as far as he was able to tell? They did the whole. Shore leave thing.
He felt the warm fuzzies for himself at some point, he has to assume it was a little more than just shore leave. ]
Do you need me to hit him for anything? No questions asked.
[ It's the first thing he can come up with in the moment. He thinks it's supportive.
If Poe thinks it was stupid to break things off, though... hm. ]
Not sure how gentle would work out with John when I don't usually do it. But I get what you mean. I'll keep it in mind.
[ finn, gently: hey buddy how you feeling? anything you need? john, aiming his pistol: i won't rest until i rescue the real finn from wherever you've taken him, you sick bastard.
Anyway, he doesn't dignify "hit me, maybe" with a response at all. Flounders for a second, though. Gentle is still a whole Thing. What if he literally just parrots the gentlest advice that Poe ever gave him, 2k18. ]
Be kind to yourself, right? If I have to, you have to.

thanks.
[ Damnit Finn, you keep throwing these things back at him and he can't argue without being a hypocrite. ]
i'll try.
poe was so sad he dictated to bb-8 and bb-8 is a stickler
If Poe is anything like him in this regard, trying means mostly forgetting to do it and floundering a lot, but it's better than nothing. ]
Okay. Thanks.
Let me know if you need any distractions. Got plenty of options.
