"How do you fry ice?" Wait, Poe just said not to ask him. Still, Finn munches confusedly, and when he's done he decides he'd better try it out instead of the fruit stick he'd been going to get. Turns out it's bits of fried fruit mixed in with fruit-flavored ice, and he gladly offers half the portion to Poe and scarfs the rest.

"I like it," he says as he finishes up, licking his lips thoroughly. Not that there's a lot of food he doesn't like, mind. The chilly dessert is just right, though, enough to cool him off without being overpowering.

He leans back on the table, contemplating whether to get another portion or to start shopping. Finn spies a place that has swimsuits and smiles absently. Poe would look good in one of those....

Poe takes his half of the dessert and eats it, though, "Some false advertising," he says. "I expected it to be more impressive. Not that it tastes bad or anything." But it feels a bit like cheating.

He finishing up his half of the dessert when he notices Finn looking around. "Hm?" Oh, look at that. "Yeah, you said you wanted to go shopping, right?" He leans over to kiss Finn--might as well, it's not like they're on base right now or anything--and starts collecting the remains of their meal. "Let's check it out."

It's still a thrill to kiss Poe Dameron. It's such a thrill. Finn grins and helps take care of the trash quickly so he can lead Poe over to the swim shop.

There are more styles and colors than he'd thought. He takes long enough staring at the rack that a sales associate comes over to help him out--fortunately, in this case, because he could benefit from some expertise. Finn walks away from the consultation with a handful of different designs to try on. "So, uh, do I show you what they look like first?"

Poe probably should help Finn with the picking stuff out, but he's having too much fun watching the guy just look around. (And it's not like he knows what to get for himself, either. Orange, he's figuring. He likes orange.) "You don't have to show me." Grin. "Though I'd like to see. But take 'em and try 'em on first and see if there's any you want to show off?"

One pair of trunks Finn had picked up is in fact orange, because he has a sneaking suspicion Poe likes the color. The first one he tries on to show off, though, is a ridiculous little piece he doesn't actually plan on buying, white and black striped and barely meeting the minimum standards of decency. He steps out of the dressing room to show Poe.

"How about this one?"

Okay, one look at Finn's face confirms that he's not serious. (He's not, right?) So Poe just grins. "I think you could save your credits and just go skinny dipping and no one would notice the difference."

Definitely not serious, though he makes a fake pose before laughingly heading back into the changing booth. (Where did he learn that? Probably some of those adult videos he picked up back at the hub.)

The next one is much more serious, a muted red pair of long trunks with various zipper pockets that looks like it could double as beachcombing shorts. "Is that better?"

Finn please. But yes, he's definitely looking. Got to get some lube for later.

"It's less likely to get you locked up for public indecency," Poe says. "Those look comfortable. I think you should go for a stronger color, though." Jewel tones would look great on him, he thinks. And pretty good on the floor later.

"I got a couple more to try. I like the cut on these." Stronger color, though--well he did grab one in an electric blue. This set is more designed for actual swimming, so it's close-cut and streamlined rather than multi-purpose. The fit is very flattering.

"Like this?"

"That's a good look," he says. Especially on the butt. And he's sure looking, not even going to pretend he's not. Not like there's any question that you find a guy hot once you've blown him. "Yeah, I like those."

Oho, he sees that look. Finn grins and checks himself out in the mirror - not bad at all. "Noted. Got one more. I'll be right back."

The last pair he has is the one he'd picked specifically with Poe in mind. The style is between the previous two - part regular shorts, part swimtrunks, and the color is a bright flight-suit orange with white accents. Kind of like BB-8.

Poe laughs when he sees those shorts, definitely laughing with Finn and not at him. "Playing to your audience, huh?" Those still look nice on Finn's butt, and he does like the color a little better than the electric blue. "Be careful, BB-8 might think those are for it."

"You mean you like the colors? I wouldn't have guessed." No, Finn's laughing, too, because he really is playing to his audience. "But what do you think of the style? Should I go with this or the blue one?"

"Complete surprise, right?" He gives the shorts a more calculating look. "Kinda like the other style a little better cause I'm pretty fond of your ass. But the color isn't quite right. They have it in purple or deep blue?"

Finn puffs up at the compliment. "Think so. One second." He ducks back in, comes out in his regular clothes, and drops off the suits into a quick-sterilize bin. A little looking where he'd found the blue one, and--

"This purple look good?" It's a deep amethyst shade, one Finn's never worn before.

He is definitely looking at that butt now. Totally inspecting it just to help with the fashion issue. Yep. "I like it. Looks perfect on you, Finn. Really good."

Damn he wants to just grab a handful of that. Not appropriate in the middle of a shop.

Yeah, if Poe's going to look at him like that, this is definitely the one he wants to get. "Done. Now you gotta try some on for me." He goes to pay for the suit (the clerk also approves of the choice, it seems) while Poe grabs his potential suits and then sits down in the waiting seat, grinning in anticipation.

"You got any suggestions?" he asks, laughing? He'll grab some for himself, of course, heading for what he's pretty sure will be flattering. And he definitely does have a preference for orange.

Sure, he'll throw on something brief and clingy, just to get back at Finn. Give it a little pose.

Okay, yes, the little thong gets a laugh from Finn. "Is that what I looked like? That'd definitely fall off if a wave hit you. Go on, get one of the other ones."

It's probably supposed to look sexy, but silly is what comes to mind.

Poe looks down at himself. "I don't think this is exactly what you looked like. You've got a nicer butt than me." That butt, though.

He's out next in a more normal set of shorts... which are also orange. Sensing a theme, there? Orange looks good on him, he's pretty sure.

"Yeah? I don't know. Nothing wrong with yours." He can believe it, though; Poe necessarily spends a lot more time sitting down, while Finn tends to walk around on patrol. It doesn't stop him from wanting a closer inspection, naturally.

The man might be predisposed toward orange for some strange reason. Still, it doesn't look bad on him. "That's a lot more practical. Might actually stand up to some swimming."

"Glad you think so." He turns as if to look at his own butt, but yeah, he's just trying to show off. Nice to be appreciated and everything.

"I think it'll hang on okay. You wanna see some more?"

Finn laughs and gives him a shooing gesture. "Did you pick anything that wasn't orange?"

"Uh, lemme check." He ducks back into the dressing room. "Okay, fine." He did grab one pair that wasn't some kind of orange shade: how about a nice pair of short, black and red, clingy swim trunks. "This is the best I got."

The color of his helmet. Of course.

"I like the fit. But if you want orange, you better go for the orange."
