Look, Finn, buddy. It's fine to laugh. He won't judge him for it. Be curious about what was so funny, sure. Insulted? Nah.
Something about what Finn says earns a frown from Takeshi, though. He knew far too well what light could do if left unchecked. Then he asks that question, and he can't help the strange glint in his eye. Not anger or anything like that; no, not if the slight flinch is anything to go by.
"I'm fine." He knows most with his powers would be anything but fine. "Or at least, as fine as someone like me can be." Yet that leads to more questions and he knows it. "And before you ask about that, the place I was before Crystallis and Vaikuntha was not for the faint of heart. I'm a survivor."
Survivor of the Tower, of a doomed timeline that was destroyed by one lonely little girl... Take your pick. "We have a task to complete before April, and the skills I was born with might be needed. Used them to help capture a psychopath once before, after all."
