[ Finnick smiles softly. It's sweet that Levi wants to keep him around but wouldn't ultimately want to hold him back from pursuing something he's passionate about. ]
I doubt you'll be rid of me that easily. I really enjoy being at the shop. It makes me happy.
[ Not just because of Levi either, though that helps. He also likes Erwin a lot, likes the general atmosphere, the social interaction, and likes being helpful and useful. ]
Besides, the guy who runs those docks is weird. Weirder than you, if you can believe it.
[ No point in making people feel like they're obligated to stay, especially here. But Levi has also always been a proponent of free choice. Still, hearing that he can give someone a place that makes them happy to be...that hits in his chest.
He takes a soft breath, holds onto that feeling a moment. There's a small hint of emotion in his voice, if Finnick listens for it. ]
Good...I'm glad. [ Really glad. ]
[ He'll click his tongue at that last bit, though. ]

Ch. Guess I'll have to do something about that.

Might have to feed him to the mermaids.

Taking care of the competition. Nice.

This'll be our plan B. But for now, I'll keep swabbing your decks sparkly-clean.

Glad to hear it.
[ A few heartbeats of pause. ]
Should let you get some sleep...
no subject
Mmm. Yeah, I'll let you go. I'll be at the shop tomorrow, so I'll see you then.

Goodnight.
