[ Finn doesn't laugh, but he covered his bases already on that. He's only laughed like 6 times in the past 2 years. It's dumb. He goes in for the frown instead, a full crease-in-the-forehead concern level.
No, wait, there it goes. It's offense. He's offended. Less in a genuinely offended way than in the way a person might get offended by their friend stealing a french fry or something. He's never had chill, so this is about his base level. ]
Wh-- I wasn't gonna try to make you the bait! Why would I try to make you the bait? [ HONESTLY PETER WOW...
He didn't have more than the very basic 1-2 punch of provoking a cloud and someone collecting the thing at all. And what he still currently has was built on a very solid understanding that he should personally do the most scary parts because. Reasons.
Finn takes a leaf from the Han Solo book and points at his mission buddy, directly. He makes a note to self to?? Maybe just check in with Peter after this and let him know he doesn't have to worry about getting thrown at problems like so much spaghetti at the wall. There'll some kind of point there and it boils down to "never make anyone do something they don't want to do and also no one is disposable," but the narration is rusty. ]
Just make sure you're ready. We can handle this.
[ There he goes down the corridor... a true hero.
Most of Finn's deepest fears are more in the abstract. Loss of identity and agency, being alone. He's scared of Kylo Ren whether he wants to be or not, but Kylo Ren is actually here in person, so clouds don't have much on the real thing.
Sometimes nanomachines have to go back to the old scary monster classics to get their point across. Sometimes a Finn trots up to a cloud to bait it and it turns into a rathtar, and being in the vicinity for half a second is more than enough baiting to qualify for the thrill of the hunt.
