[Finn shrugs.]

Everywhere you go that has some kind of trade. I guess that's a lot.

[pneumo]

.......? So in cities and stuff...?

[forcesensitive]

Spaceports, cities, stations, hubs, you name it. Sure, there's some places that are isolationist, but even they have some kind of trade hub.

[pneumo]

Wait...you lived in space before this?? [ LUCKY ]

[forcesensitive]

All my life. Maybe that's why it seems normal to me?

[pneumo]

I only just got here!! You're so lucky...

[forcesensitive]

[Finn grins a little.]

You don't have space travel either, huh? From Earth?

[pneumo]

Yeah! I mean, to both. We only have factories and stuff.

[forcesensitive]

[What do factories have to do with--oh, he means they're industrialized. Finn nods.]

There's been space travel for--for longer than our records go back. It's just normal to me. Weird to think it's not, for a bunch of you.

[pneumo]

It's weird for it to even be something people can do for me, hehe. But I really like it! It's neat.

[forcesensitive]

Good. There's just--more to it than being stuck in one place your whole life.

[pneumo]

Well, I did move around a lot... [ On the same planet though. Not through space. ]

[forcesensitive]

Well, that helps some. But at the same time, it's good to have a home--doesn't have to be a place, it can be people, but with these ships we get to have a home and travel.

[pneumo]

Oh...! Obi-wan said something like that too~ That home was something you could carry with you. I don't really understand it though.

[forcesensitive]

Well, for me? Home is feeling like you belong. When I'm with my friends, that's how I feel, so they're home for me.

[pneumo]

What if you don't feel like you belong anywhere though?

[forcesensitive]

Then you keep looking till you find it. Even when it's hard.

[pneumo]

How do you know when you find it though?? What's it like to belong?

[forcesensitive]

[That's a good question, and Finn has to think about it for a little while.]

Feeling safe is a part of it, but it's more than that. It feels right--I'm not sure how else to describe it. You ever met someone that just feels right?

[pneumo]

I dunno... I feel happy when I meet people. Is that it?

[forcesensitive]

That's part of it, but--

[He shrugs.]

I don't really know how else to describe it.

[pneumo]

Maybe I should ask the love doctor again.... He knows everything.

[forcesensitive]

The love doctor? Is that even a real thing?

[pneumo]

I dunno, but he knows, like, everything about falling in love! [ RIGHT LETO ] He's amazing!

[forcesensitive]

Huh. That could be useful. Is he someone on the fleet?
