Finn! I told you I was coming.

[SO MUCH HUGGING.]

Wanna show me where my bunk is?

[forcesensitive]

Come on.

[He grabs Poe's hand and gives him the grand tour. Like most of the ships, it's not actually terrible big, so it doesn't take that long before they're in the bunks.]

--and we have two empty bunks, so you can take whichever one you want. I put in for the next level but they say those don't get processed until the end of the month.

[helluva_pilot]

[Finn sure does have a thing about grabbing hands. He hadn't done that quite so much to Poe before--probably because Poe had been handcuffed and they'd been in a Star Destroyer--so Poe's feeling a bit bemused about it now. It's... nice. Very Finn.]

What's the next level do? And which one's yours?

[He'll grab the one closest to Finn's. Doesn't matter that much, but it's nice to try to stick by your friends.]

[forcesensitive]

Over here. Next level we get our own rooms. I--never had my own room before.

[So he doesn't mind the communal quarters so much. But it would be nice....]

[helluva_pilot]

Private rooms... that would be great. I've been kind of spoiled, having my own room since I'm an officer, so... [He grins.] Just imagine, Finn. You don't have to listen to anyone else snoring or farting, all night.

[forcesensitive]

[Finn snorts.]

I don't even notice it, tell you the truth. Might be weirder to sleep alone.

[helluva_pilot]

Guess it just depends on how you deal with things being quiet.

Though if you get really lonely, good looking guy like you can find someone to keep him company. [He nudges Finn, his grin teasing.]

[forcesensitive]

[Finn actually thinks about that for a minute.] It's never really quiet on a ship, though. Should be fine.

[And then he laughs.] Don't know if I'm that desperate.

[helluva_pilot]

Yeah. Ships have their own rhythm. And there's a lot of crew on this one. Well. For such a small ship. [Capital ship this ain't.]

I'm kidding. [Totally wasn't going to offer himself up down, boy. He knows it's a crush, probably because Finn's a good looking guy who saved his life. No need to be creepy about it. He's a grown up, he knows how to deal. Which is by ignoring it.] Though man, there's a real diverse set of people around, which is pretty cool.

[forcesensitive]

They're pretty tiny compared to what I've been on before. [We can't all have Super Star Destroyers.] But I don't care if we're on some holodrama or not, it's got way more privacy than I ever had. Real easy to get used to.

[Finn punches Poe lightly on the shoulder.] If it freaks me out, maybe I'll crash your bunk for a while.

[And he nods.] Human-heavy, but even the ones from Earth are from all over it.

[helluva_pilot]

Bigger than what I'm used to flying. So it's weird for it to be more than just me and BB-8 out there. [X-wings have their own hyperdrives, so they don't tend to spend a lot of time on carriers.] I'm glad it's an improvement that way, then. [Hell, anything's got to be better than being under the thumb of the First Order.]

[you're killing me, smalls He doesn't mean it that way, Poe reminds himself. Shit, he just needs to go get laid and get his head on straight.] Sure, but I snore. And sprawl.

Nice to see some aliens around though.

[forcesensitive]

It's an improvement in every way that matters. [So much. So much better than being under the First Order.] Well, all right, we could use BB-8 for the company, even if there's not any astromech ports.

You think there's no snoring in the barracks?

[Finn nods.] You met Pinkie yet?

[helluva_pilot]

He'd still have a lot of fun here, I bet. And he'd figure out how to talk to the computers pretty quick. He's really smart.

[He holds up his hands in a fending gesture.] I'm just saying. And it's kind of different when it's one person in a small room.

Yeah, she said hi to me right after I arrived. Gave me a bottle of really good hot sauce too.

[forcesensitive]

He's a good little guy. It's a little weird only having the dumb little maintenance bots around - they're nothing like the droids we know.

Maybe I'll snore so much I won't feel lonely. Guess I gotta wait and see.

--Not that Death Naga stuff? Poe, you gotta be careful with that. I'm pretty sure you could use it for shuttle fuel in an emergency.

[helluva_pilot]

Yeah, they're not. But... they get the job done. So I try to be nice to 'em even if they're not as smart as astromechs.

Or you'll snore so loud you wake yourself up. In which case, don't come knocking. [Grin.]

I know, it's great.

[forcesensitive]

Oh yeah. I still want 'em to clean my stuff. [Being rude to the wrong droid can have consequences, even if these cleaning bots aren't exactly smart.]

Does that even happen?

[Finn shudders.] If I didn't know better, I'd think she was trying to kill me.

[helluva_pilot]

Happened to Snap a few times. Well, and he wakes everyone else up first.

You're just not used to it, is all. It's something you've gotta train up to, right? I've been eating spicy food all my life, since that's what my dad liked cooking.

[forcesensitive]

Definitely doesn't happen with me, then. Someone would have noticed before now.

[Finn makes a face.] Doesn't get much more bland than what I had to eat growing up.

[helluva_pilot]

I bet. So you're just starting a little behind on the spicy scale. You'll get there.

[forcesensitive]

Just don't burn off my taste buds when you try. I think I got some permanent tongue damage from that stuff.

[helluva_pilot]

Nah, that's just the weak ones dying off. You're better off without 'em.

[forcesensitive]

[Finn shakes his head.]

If you say so.
