Finn nods feverishly at the bit about humans crafting their own fates. "They're alive like us. They should be allowed to be like us, to live free." It was a responsibility, he realized, to not interact. That made sense.

But then he was smiling and laughing a little, turning around on the branch to put his back to the trunk and face Rey. "I know what you mean. I don't talk to the others too often but they don't have these same perspectives anyway. I'd much rather talk with you."

Was he doing something bad here? Would Poe not like this? Was it wrong to enjoy someone else's company, someone else's smile this much? Well, he'd just have to bring it up later. It's not like Finn didn't want her to meet Poe because he most certainly did.

"I-... Hmm... If I came to see you again, would that be okay? Would I be interrupting your work?" He didn't want to leave right now, though. In fact, he wanted to stay for quite a while longer.
