[ You know what Finn's still never really ended up doing in the near... what, five months he's been in this city with Poe and BB-8? He's never really ended up learning how to understand droid. It's just. Been not a huge priority.
Who needs to learn when his best friends are fluent and he's been living with at least one of them this entire time? No one, that's who. Realistically, he probably meant to get a little more into the prospect at some point. Things have a way of happening. Life gets busy.
He's picked up a thing here and there, though, over all this time. The very specific series of sounds that BB-8 uses to address Poe, and the same for Rey. And judging by their reactions to several other specific beeps, at least three straight-up strings of profane insults.
So when BB-8, sans Poe, comes rolling up to him at top speed and lets out every string of insults Finn can remember and possibly then some, and the sounds that are presumably Poe's name, Finn can only assume it's the intervening-party version of getting another "I did something stupid" message. This is where the real Lassie recreation comes into play, because Finn is booking it after BB-8 and doing a lot of "what did he do" even though he literally can't understand the answers.
BB-8 leads him to... a kind of trashy-looking bar. And Finn figures yeah, that might as well be happening, a solid bad sign. And from inside the bar, what can only be described as the tell-tale signs of a ruckus.
BB-8 makes a long and detailed series of low-pitched sounds. Finn just says "I'm pretty sure I agree with that" and pushes his way in.
How bad is this vibe and does he literally have to come in swinging? Because he will if he has to. He spars with Jyn all the time, his fear can no longer be reserved for big slow drunk dudes. ]
