Yeah, good luck with that. [ Finn might not know Itachi very well just yet, but he could imagine what the man thought about having his hand shaken, especially as thanks for some good deed that he didn’t even want to acknowledge as one.
But that thought is brushed aside instantly in the face of food; all of the time and good smells and waiting finally coming to their pay off as Jake places the plate in front of him and Finn grins, eagerly pulling it closer and taking a big bite, seemingly unfazed by how hot it still was.
And it was exactly as Finn remembered it; because Jake always made it exactly the same way. No recipe, entirely by feel. Maybe that was ultimately more consistent than any recipe would be. Maybe that’s why Finn couldn’t get a replicator to make it the same, no matter how many times he tried. A recipe didn’t allow for adjustment or reflect the different environments or ingredients available. It didn’t have a specific taste or goal in mind, as much as it was a collection of parts. Food wasn’t just a series of replicatable steps but an act of care and attention. And love.
Finn chews, taking another bite and smiling happily. ]

Thanks Jake, it’s perfect.
