[ It's an open-ended reply. Room to drop it if he wants. He likes that. Finn lets out a breath that almost crosses over into being a huff of laughter, mouth pulling into a quick-- but genuine-- grin. ]

[ If he lays it out, he only really sees two options. Either Cisco knows about the First Order already, or he doesn't know about them yet and Finn has to explain, even briefly, what it means. Either way, Cisco has to spend the rest of this dinner knowing what it means in this particular situation, what it means about who he has standing around in his house. Call him crazy, but he feels like that wouldn't be a great lead-in.
(Has he yet considered there are decent people who wouldn't immediately be suspicious of him on learning that? Nope, not really.)
Finn doesn't get to make a lot of clean-slate first impressions.
He turns his head to clock the room again- tracks where Poe is mid-conversation with one of the other guests, where Rey has strayed off towards the outer fringes with that crease she gets in her forehead sometimes. ]
