[ Finn's distantly considered the possibility of, you know. Actual Luke Skywalker turning up in the Quarantine eventually. Whether it was more likely to be the older man he maybe caught a glimpse of on Crait or a younger one, the one whose face and old holo footage made more than a few appearances in years of First Order history lessons.
Skewed a little towards old battlefield tactics and propaganda, maybe, and Finn is far from given to hero worship based on history lessons, but the most important names seem to be universal regardless.
And in considering the possibility that Luke Skywalker could turn up here, Finn's naturally considered the possibility that he might end up meeting the guy. It's a strange thing. The way people from their galaxy tend to find each other so easily, even if they're from different years. Different wars.
He never really considered that he might see Luke Skywalker, the Luke Skywalker, took down the first Death Star, helped defeat the Empire... staring intently down at a gaggle of angry wild animals like he's trying to win a staring contest. Somehow it just never made the list, which was mostly comprised of probably just getting introduced by someone else who ran into him somewhere. Or something.
For the moment, he's setting the introductions thing on a back burner. More important than Timelines and Alternate Universes Redux is the fact that everyone on assignment here right now is by extension on his team, as far as Finn is concerned. And Finn is a very team-oriented person. He can't say, as a teammate, that this particular choice in the middle of hog hell leaves him at ease. ]
I don't need to tell you to stay on this side of the fence, right? Because I can follow you over there, but I really think we're better off staying in one piece as long as we can right now.
