Kylo keeps talking to people in the Resistance about Finn's opinions on, well, everything. And the worst part is, he's quoting conversations they actually had.
Sui Zhou must rise eventually, of course.
"You're Murdock's second in command."

This guy knows about Matt. He fucking knows.
A little bit of contextless silliness, written for Elise. Mild Jehan-related naughtiness and an impatient Grantaire.
