As she watched him, it steadily occurred to Fin that this wasn't the usual level of Eljay anxieties here (Elxieties, as she called them). Something more was bothering him, and he quickly revealed just what it was. Or at least, he tried to. Finley blinked at him as he went on and on, choking on tears and fumbling over his words. Through it all, she tried to picture the scene that had transpired between him and her niece, and by the end of it... she really could not see what was so alarming about this.

She teetered on the edge of her next words for a moment before deciding to go for it, "Buddy, you cry kind of.. regularly. She's probably seen it before, and I'm sure she would never judge you for it. I mean.. she kinda cries a lot too." She looked at the scene again - both of them sitting there crying together over Bat. Yeah, there was nothing even remotely weird about that.
