[He'd argue that people do believe what they're told - but he had himself abandoned that when he'd seen the evidence in front of him. That was exactly what had happened. So he exhales again, though he still looks miserable.]

Do you really think so?

I know so.

It's going to be fine. And if it isn't? I'll show your General whatshisname where he can stick it.

[Well, if nothing else, her confidence does start to make him feel a bit better.]

I just don't want any of you to get hurt because you're friends with me.

Please. I'm practically invincible! Nothing can hurt me.

[It's not true, of course, but the old Anakin-style ridiculous brag comes easily to her.]

[All right, that's more like overconfidence. Finn eyes her, unsure.]

He blew up the whole Hosnian system, Ahsoka.

Yeah, but he doesn't have the means to do that here, right?

No. And if he did, I'd blow it up again.

But that's how ruthless he is.

Good man.

Trust me, Finn. We won't let anything get out of hand.

[He smiles grimly.]

Well, the minute I see anything go south, you bet I'm calling for backup.

I'll hold you to it.

[Finn nods and then looks down.]

Thanks, Ahsoka. For listening. It's hard to tell people.

Any time, Finn. You're my friend.

Yeah. You're my friend, too.

[And after that, he'll be ready to go back to the drill.]

[Ahsoka smiles, full of warmth.]

Well. I'd certainly hope so.

Now, about your form...

[Back to drills they go.]
