After Olivia's containment, around the time of the Aldyhion mission briefing

[heroooic]

[The ship was abuzz with conversations about the latest mission dossier, and Finn had spent the entire day feeding off the energy. Finally, they were getting off the ship and out into the world! Finn could hardly wait.

... That said, there was one question still on his mind. This finds Yujin around when he's sitting down to dinner in the mess.]

Yo Professor, I got a quick question! If you had to pick between sword, axe, or mace... which would you pick?

[softshoes]

[Finn's timing is perfect. Poring over the dossier has taken first priority for Yujin: all day, he's been missing other bits of crew chatter in favor of jotting down more notes. But eventually, his stomach reminds him of the time. When he sits down to eat, who else should pop into his earpiece but--]

Good evening, Mr. Finn.

[That's a good question. He pokes thoughtfully at a bit of roasted potato on his plate before replying.]

Sword, I'd say? It isn't as heavy as the other choices, but it isn't such a blunt force, either. You have dexterity with a blade.

[heroooic]

hehe OK

[There's a break in Finn's messages, but not a particularly long one. A couple minutes later, he's back.]

Okay so: what do you call a musician who's just been stabbed?

[softshoes]

[Yujin chuckles, already anticipating the punchline.]

I haven't a clue. What do you call them?

[heroooic]

[ As he should. Brace for it, Yujin. This is a real winner. ]

a scabbard

[ hold for laughter ]

[softshoes]

[a... scabbard...]

Oh! A scab... bard? 🙂

[Finn, he's a dad and even he thought that one was pretty bad.]
