Fin had a feeling that calling him out on his love of crying might be a step too far, even though she hadn't meant it in a bad way. But when it came to it, she was surprised that she had actually offended him, but not in the way she would've thought. She continued to stare at him curiously, not at all bothered with what he'd said so much as just fascinated by the scene unfolding before her. Slowly, something began to occur to her, and she gave him a shrewd frown.

"Eljay... do you have a crush on Wildfire?" she asked thoughtfully. It was the only thing that maybe kind of made sense as to why he would be so distraught over crying in front of her (which she still swore he'd done like ninety times in his life), and also why he would've been offended by her statement because it disrespected her. Fin was tempted to smile then, but she held it back, wanting to hear her son tell her she was right before she began to celebrate.
