[Finn successfully pays attention to what the Captain is saying while simultaneously trying to interpret Dog, so he nods along and does start to per her when she signals it's okay. She's surprisingly soft, and he seems to relax. But then something Joseph says catches up with him and he looks curious.]

Got it. I'll be careful with the shuttles. Did you say you have a boyfriend and a girlfriend?

[...this might be important to him for Reasons. He didn't know that was a possible thing.]

[nextlineis]

[Cloudy is pleased and so her tail sets to wagging just a little bit faster.]

Hm? [Joseph's eyebrows rise before the question settles in and then he grins. Of course, it's not like his usual boisterous smile. It's a little too soft to be that.] Oh, yeah, I do! It can be kinda hard for other people to understand sometimes, but you know, it was just Caesar and me here for a while. Things were good, but it's not the same without having Suzie around, too.

So, when Suzie finally got here, it just made sense. We all love each other the same way, and none of us want to have to try and decide. It'd be like trying to figure out how to get by with only half your heart. [It's at this point, Joseph starts absentmindedly fiddling with a ring on one of his fingers.] They're both pretty incredible and strong people, for different reasons. I couldn't get by and do the things I do without both of them there, and there isn't anything I wouldn't do for either of them. So, it's the three of us together now and nothing's going to break us apart.

[And there's that loud, boisterous grin as he starts to laugh.]

Plus, they're both pretty damn good-looking. But don't worry, you'll get used to me having all the luck like that if you stick around.

[forcesensitive]

[Finn listens with what can only be described as rapt attention. His captain's explanation makes sense - what if you love more than one person? If it would break your heart to have to choose between them, why not take another option altogether? Just because he hadn't encountered it before--well, that didn't mean anything at all. He hasn't encountered a lot of things before.]

That way you don't have to break their heart, either. Yeah. And--they don't get jealous or anything?

[At his description of their looks, Finn grins widely.] Oh, I see how it is. You're gonna save some luck for the rest of us though, right? We are your loyal crew here.

[nextlineis]

Nah, no one needs to get jealous, [Joseph says with a shrug of his shoulder.] I mean, in the beginning, I sometimes felt a little guilty if say I spent a lot of time with Suzie without Caesar, or vice versa just because I was worried one of them might feel neglected or something. But it doesn't bother me when they spend time together without me, so after a while, I realized it probably wouldn't bother either one of them.

[And they are much less prone to pay attention to meeeeeee syndrome compared to Joseph. If any of the three were likely to be bothered about it, it'd be Joseph and not either one of those two. So, it's just not likely that there will ever actually be a problem with something like that.]

I'll do what I can because I always try to take care of my crew, but I make no promises about how much luck's gonna be leftover. You might have to do a little scavenging for it.

[forcesensitive]

[Finn nods along, still wearing a bit of an awestruck expression. It makes a frightening amount of sense, and if he finds himself watching the captain's interactions with his boyfriend and girlfriend in the future, this is probably why.] Yeah. Yeah, I don't mean to pry or anything, but--thanks. For telling me. It makes a lot of sense.

I can do that. Best friend's a scavenger.

[nextlineis]

Is that right? Best friend back home or one here?

[Joseph really does try to make an effort to know his crew. He always has, but especially ever since he became captain. So with that window open, Joseph goes on ahead and takes it.]

[forcesensitive]

Back home. [He looks wistful for a moment.] Her name's Rey, if she ever shows up here. She's a pilot, too.

[His best friends are all pilots for some reason.]

[nextlineis]

[Hey, pilots are good people to know. — A Jojo's Opinion]

Yeah? I'll be sure to keep an eye out for her then. [And he will. First sign of someone who's name is Rey and/or might seem like a pilot (pre-augment), he'll investigate. Though he has the sneaking suspicion that Finn would beat him to the punch.] You got anybody from home already here?

[forcesensitive]

[It's a Finn Opinion, too. He can't fly for crap.]

Appreciate it.

Uh, sorta. There's a bunch of people from home, but they're all from, like, thirty years ago. Or more. Except one, who's form ten years ago, but a different timeline cause she talks about stuff I'm pretty sure never happened to my version of things.

[nextlineis]

[Joseph makes a faces that's caught somewhere between being mildly sympathetic, but also clearly having a hard time wrapping his head around all of that.]

And here I thought it was weird that my mum's from a couple days after what I remember, and Suzie's from a couple before... How do you guys keep it all straight?

[forcesensitive]

[He shrugs.]

Basically, I don't tell 'em anything they don't already know except in general terms. It's pretty easy - they're mostly either from before the founding of the Empire, or from right after the fall.

[Finn grins and looks down.]

Actually, I mostly just ask them about themselves so I don't have to talk about myself.

[nextlineis]

Why don't you talk about yourself with them? They must want to know something about you, too.

[Maybe not at first when Finn was probably lobbing question after question after them, but there has to come a certain point when being questioned where you just have to know something about the person asking.]

[forcesensitive]

Well.

[So he doesn't have to lie?]

A lot of it's tied up in bad stuff that happens to some of them. Rather they not have to deal with it.

[nextlineis]

Oh...

[Joseph rubs at the back of his head a little.]

They're probably going to ask eventually though, you know. You're not planning on lying to them, are you?

[forcesensitive]

If they asked, I'd still tell 'em they don't want to know.

[He smiles, a little ruefully.]

But I'd tell 'em if they really did want to know after that.

[nextlineis]

I don't know them, obviously, but they'd probably feel better in the long run knowing the truth.

[Speaking as someone who had truth about the past, you know, stretched and mildly modified.]

So it's good that you let them make the decision for themselves.

[forcesensitive]

[He nods and smiles down at the floor.]

Well, that and they'd kick my ass if they knew I was keeping secrets from them.

[nextlineis]

[Joseph chuckles.]

Well, that's always good incentive. That's a sign of a good friendship though.

[forcesensitive]

Yeah. And if any of it was relevant, I'd let them know first thing. But--well, I already met one person from a different version of their future. What if they're from Jaina's timeline, and they have to deal with the Second Imperium instead of the First Order? Then everything I know is no good to them.
