[he considers that for a few seconds - that and all it's come with. he's aware of the little ache it causes just hearing something like to not be alone, because it's hard to refute that outside of Finn's company, it can be easy to feel that way.
his grip tightens a little - briefly, reflexively.]
Do you...think I was wrong? Choosing as I did. [then and there, it seemed the only choice. getting Finn out there, to the others he knew...to keep himself contained within, finally in a space where he was strong.
...it didn't really add up to much in the end, now did it? that stings a little, too.]
I don't know... No one got hurt, and I knew that you could handle yourself, but-... We're a team, right? All of us. We should stick together, stay at each other's side.
I understand why you did that, it makes sense. I couldn't in good conscious tell you that you were in the wrong, but I... don't like being pushed away like that. I don't like leaving people behind.
[Blue's mouth twitches into a faint, apologetic smile, hearing the crux of this matter spoken aloud. at least as far as the two of them are directly concerned; Finn certainly has a lot going on beyond this.]
My decision hurt you. I'm sorry, Finn. The last thing I wish to do...is push you away.
[there's precious little Blue could do to quell Finn's worries, really. at least not in a way that was rather overbearing...
Blue closes his eyes for a moment, sighing, before fixing them back on Finn.]
You trusted me enough despite...that worry. That is important to me.
[he can only hope such a thing can happen again - that he can be trusted despite his weaknesses. for now, though, he can't resent Finn or anyone for seeing someone who needs extra care and protection...because he is that someone. resenting Finn of all people is entirely out of the question.]
[ Oh, if only Finn knew what was going through his head, because that is so not it. He doesn't underestimate Blue. If anything, he understood why he wanted to stay, not because he could be of some help there but because he was powerful there.
But Finn doesn't know what he's thinking. All he knows is that something isn't clicking between them and he hates that. ]
I trust you. That's not put to question. [ He's not even sure why it's coming up, honestly. ] I care about you, Blue. I trust you and I worry about you, not despite it.

I- I know that. [ Kind of. Sort of. ] It's not my feelings I was worried about back there, though.
But thank you.
