Yeah. Her name's Ziggy. She's the only person my age here. We hang out sometimes. I took her to this movie deal Newt was throwing. [He tips one of his birds back and forth, yoyoing between a giddy smile and a persistent frown.] But yeah, I dunno. I don't know if she thinks of me that way. I think she just thinks I'm funny. But maybe less funny haha more... y'know, like I'm funny.
[Finn pauses, lips pressed tightly together, face pink.]
--So, yeah. See? I do have fun. It’s not like…all training and making myself miserable. [ Even if that was a lot of it, just, by happenstance. ] No big dee.
[ He folds his paper in half again, with some real concentration. Maybe Jake won't push it. ]
