[ Fuck. Dammit. Fuck. Finn shuts up, closes his eyes and puts his face in his hands. ]
Never mind, just-...
[ His hands move to fumble with the cup, ignoring the eyes on him. His voice is steady and calm again if his expression was anything but. ] I've played a part in killing negotiators. Families. Children. I helped build the thing that destroyed five planets. I know what war crimes are and I know how people justify them to keep moving.
I'm not here about the Death Star. It happened. It's over. I don't care how big of a part you played in Alderaan's destruction. I don't care how you justify it to yourself. I don't even care if you approve. All I care about is what you're going to do with the people that are here, especially the person that still thinks he has to take orders from you and the man that loves him.
[ Finn's outburst garners them a few concerned looks from the denizens at nearby tables, but Akobi waves them off with a mouthed, "It's fine."
He lets Finn calm himself down. A part of him wants to argue further, to explain the truly minimal part he played in the building and operation of the Death Star. But that wouldn't lead the conversation to a conclusion any faster. ]
All I want to do is exist. I want to wake up, go to work, and try to help this world be a safer place for the people who live in it. I want my friend to be happy, with whoever makes him happy.
[ It wasn't as definitive of an answer as Finn would have liked. Though, he wouldn't have trusted that, anyway. He taps his almost empty cup on the table and sighs one last time. ]
Then we're done here. Thanks for the caf, Commander.
[ And Finn gets up and starts making his way out. ]

[ Akobi stays in the café a few minutes longer, finishing his cup at his own leisure before leaving both the empty cups on the table and walking out. ]
