It's not that I find it completely impossible to trust you, I just didn't think we would be able to find common ground. Besides Rey, at least. I'm aware that our history makes it difficult and I'm sure if I were anyone else you would be supportive of whoever Rey decides to be with. That's all.

[He finishes his drink.]

I want us to be able to try for her sake. It's important to her.

[ They had a little too much common ground. Instead of making this easier, Finn wonders if it's not making it harder... ]

I support her with this, too. Rey sees something in you, something she... likes. [ Maybe loves. He doesn't know. ] We don't have to get along for me to support her.

But it would be easier if we did, so... I want us to try, too. I'd like to think this is a good first step.

[ They're not seeing totally eye-to-eye but they're also not destroying the tavern in an attempt to kill each other. Progress. ]

I know. I’ve given her more than a few chances for an out - before we went home and back, anyway. She is -

[He would laugh if it still didn’t feel so weird to. It comes out as a disbelieving scoff.]

- probably the most stubborn person I’ve ever met. We’ve been here almost a year and I thought it would be better - easier - if she were with someone else: you or Dameron or literally anyone else in the entire galaxy, but that’s impossible for her.

[He takes a breath, his hands clasped together against the table.]

We share a connection within the Force that even with the First Order’s resources at my disposal I barely understood it then or now. I thought that the worst feeling was her rejecting me, but then I died on Exegol and I think for her that’s been the worst feeling even if my life is tied to hers. I’ve never heard anything like a Force Dyad before this and I’ve been studying the ways of the Jedi and the Sith since I was a child.

[ He and Rey aren't like that, not really, but the mention of Poe and Rey gets some of his attention... They could work, and Finn doesn't know how he feels about that. Doesn't have to wonder either, he figures.

But then his attention is pulled back to this.

He takes a breath and lets it go. ]

She mentioned that. The dyad... [ It makes him wonder if Rey really had a choice at all - if either of them did - but he knows that it took more than that for Rey to choose him. There had to be. ] Are you still connected here? I hadn't asked her.
