[ Finn fiddles absently with half-completed bird, looking up at the ceiling briefly, picking his words somewhat carefully. ]

Uh, she’s…really awesome. Super smart, but not in a nerdy way, like…in a cool, funny way. Witty, I guess? [ In an observational way, that sometimes almost teetered into mean, but…Finn found that charming, even if he was leaving off voicing that out loud. ] She’s also kind of…hot-headed? And, uh…impulsive? But also really brave and she’s not bad in a fight, especially considering she started learning a lot of that griz here. She does a lot of training with like, Wei Wuxian and Felix and stuff.

[ Finn nods slightly, his tone admiring, everything he was listing, positive traits in his book. He turns the paper bird over in his hands, looking nervous while he continues, aware Jake was probably staring him down. ]

She’s really pretty too. Not that that’s important…it’s just…an observation. [ Woof, shut up, Finn, his brain was screaming, stopping himself dead short of the mortifying act of describing to Jake the exact color of her hair. ]

Anyway, when you first meet her she seems a little prickly, and she’ll probably call someone an asshole, but, she’s actually really sweet. [ And she would probably kick his ass if he said that to her face ] She’s…complicated. But I think she has a really good heart…

[ Once again Finn felt a creeping dread of being embarrassing coming over him. Of maybe being too…intense. ]

You’ll like her.
