[ love and bonds are a hell of a drug. thinking is overrated, and can be worked up to with time. sometimes you wanna think and then you're like, but consider how great this person smells what if i just attach myself to them forever.
so. this line of conversation is more of poe being poe, hopefully, he thinks. because poe is good and smart and the reason human faces were invented it's nbd. it doesn't sound like a breaking up lead-in.
oh. wait, now finn has to also come up with coherent words that express what he's trying to say. he's great at monologues with gravitas and last-ditch cave speeches, how the hell does he. how does he get to "you looked at me like no one ever had" vol. 2. it's all backfired horribly. ]
It wasn't great timing. Or a great place. Definitely didn't plan for it. [ he probably wouldn't have thought to... offer or ask or whatever the protocol is. when he considers everything. he spent his life with the implicit understanding that this wasn't a thing he'd get or want to find.
finn finds his way to his actual point, tentative: ] I wanted it, though.
[ issue the second: the problem with wanting to make sure someone doesn't feel trapped is that you have to show them the open door, or as much of an open door as someone can get out of this. ]
I thought maybe you... once you were thinking again. I didn't know if you really wanted to-- if you still would. I mean. It's okay if you don't.
[ factually it's not okay at all and he feels like there's probably no actual way to cut this bad boy off now that it's been in motion. but finn also digs that autonomy and choice flavor with the dial turned all the way up, they've got that in common.
this would probably be a good time to step back as like a symbolic gesture of the okayness he's pretending he would have, but he a thousand percent does not do it. he's not even gonna act like he can. ]
