[ finn, being himself, will concede to start walking and leave that dumb tie fighter behind forever. but he's absolutely not gonna let this drop, which is his own personal romance a-game.

this is exactly what he means. this is exactly the entire problem. in a semi-urgent 'walking around in public ish' whisper, mostly pitched as a general "eventually poe will realize this comes down to hard Facts" warning: ]

I'm not a defector anymore. I'm not a rebel. I'm a stormtrooper. Anything about me that wasn't right, they fixed.

[ well. """right""" and """fixed""", which is at least present in his tone. ]

That's what's left. And it's way too much of a liability to drop in the middle of a rebellion without thinking first.

[ please don't let him tool around the resistance where he might fuck something up in a major way, because he genuinely doesn't think he wants to do that but he has no idea if he will have to regardless of what he wants, is what he thinks he's saying. even though that thought process is literally?? as non stormtrooper as it gets?? forest for the trees mcgee over here. he just wants 2 be upfront. tiredness only fuels him. ]
