[This part of the ship always held a sense of mystery. And, if Finn was honest, fear. He didn't like to admit he still had that; call it a side effect of upbringing or pride or simply his age. Whatever it was, Finn jumps at the opening of the normally-sealed door.]
Oh. Oh, wow. [The words come unbidden, meant for the orbs rather than Degar himself. Being so close in proximity, really sensing their number. That green-ish blue orb represented so much to him. The thought of what all the rest could represent to the rest of the crew, to Degar and Viv and everyone who came before and was now gone... it was a little much to contemplate for a kid in an extremely introspective mood.
He recovers quickly, refocusing on Degar. It's not a much more comforting sight, but at least it was a recognizable one. Finn forces a smile, lifting up the sword as if he were presenting it to a waiting knight. It was dinged up and bloodied, but then again so was Finn. Nothing Jun touched manage to come away clean, this time.]
He dropped it. When everything happened. [Finn explains, tentative. That forced smile doesn't last long.] I don't know why I picked it up, I guess I just... I dunno. It doesn't matter.
[He holds it up higher, indicating Degar should take it.]
I know he was a bad guy, in the end. And he did some really bad things. But I swear when I was talking to him... I saw he still cared about you, man. I know it doesn't matter what he wanted, but, I just--I really think he would want you to have it. If you want it.
