[ Finn happily take the taste, flashing Jake an approving thumbs up. For the first time in a long time, everything felt easy and familiar. Maybe not everything, but if you squinted, it was as close to being back home as he was gonna get. ]
Okay. How about…Natasha! [Finn takes a brief beat, because despite having spoken to Nat a decent amount, he knew precious little about her that felt concrete. She was an expert evader, always giving the smallest of breadcrumbs, but never the whole slice. It was hard to convey in words why he liked their conversations so much. ]
She’s some kind of hero back in her world too, but I don’t know that much about it. She might be…a spy, or something like that? Maybe? She’s definitely good at keeping secrets. [ There was maybe the tiniest touch of annoyance in his voice at that, a minor frustration at being kept at arm’s length by many of the people he wanted to know better. ] But, she’s been really nice ever since I got here…we’ve talked a lot. Oh, and she’s got a sister here too! Yelena. Yelena’s younger, but trust me, you can tell when you meet them. [ No self awareness there. ] Yelena’s funnier, but you can’t tell them I said that.
[Take that secret to your grave, Jake.]
Also, Yelena likes dogs. Nat’s…kind of weird about it. Just a head’s up.
