[ There's a solid half a second where, despite all the very obvious signs that memory lane is back at it again, Finn really is straight-up confused about how being salty over broccoli connected to inspirational leadership? It's easily within the top five most wild moments of this day so far.
Once he catches up to that half second, he takes a sudden track change to whatever the closest emotional equivalent of "character in a studio Ghibli movie is surprised, so their hair responds and fluffs up somehow like a sentient creature" is. A bold mix of still slightly confused, flattered, and the hint of alarm with no specific target in mind. He can't believe he's legitimately tapped in live to Poe's emotions and old memories and he still doesn't get what the guy's about half the time. ]
Thanks.
[ It's too late to make that come out like less of a question.
He has the vote of confidence, now what does he do with it. It's practically a whole responsibility now. Poe's always had different standards for heroism and leadership, though. Finn thinks he'll try not to really read into this. There are a lot of different little emotional pieces pinging around and they're not easy to pinpoint. Maybe he'll come to a stop at being glad he apparently did something good enough to get Poe to light up like a bonfire in retrospect. He's not above being pleased about that.

Finn sort of pats Poe on the forearm. ]
You good?
