Oh, I'm sure. I mean, what's the worst that can happen?
[John smirks around the crunch of a piece of chicken.
He's made up his mind. He likes Finn. The kid gives him a good vibe. How someone treats their friends says a lot about them as a person.
John hasn't seen Finn in action yet, but if he's from the same universe as Poe, he's seen war, and that makes him more experienced than half the people in the PG. He'll give Finn's file more than a cursory read when he's back at the office, not that John really expects a pile of paperwork to tell him anything of real value about a person.
That's always been John's biggest struggle when it comes to building a team. He doesn't trust grades, letter recommendations, or medals. He needs to see people in action. To talk to them, learn who they are, and see if that person changes when bullets start to fly.
Something tells him what you see is what you get, with Finn. He's not certain he knows to be any other way. There's an honesty about him, a purity, almost, that reminds John of Chyler. It makes sense that they get along.]
Best case scenario: I like you, you like me, you join my team.
Worst case scenario: You get shot, and I feel really bad about it.
