Luckily for Poe, Finn has yet to hear most of those rumors. As for dragging others in with them, that's easy enough to believe. He grins again, though his face is beginning to show signs of strain as he struggles not to succumb to sleep.
"Yeah. I got your back, Poe." Or he would, if he could get up without hurting himself worse. "Once they give me the all-clear, anyway. Try not to get in too deep until then, okay?" Try being the key word there.
But he notes how tired Finn is looking. The man's still got a lot of healing left to do, and keeping him awake probably isn't going to help. "Let's get you laid back down since you're done with your soup. You need to just focus on getting better for now, okay?"
"I might hold you to that." It sounds like a good trait for a friend to have, doesn't it? Always coming back?
Lying back down sounds appealing, though. Finn nods. "I'll get better, and then maybe you can show me around a little? When you're off duty." He'd assessed the base itself the first time he'd been here: it had a different layout than a First Order base but was in many other ways the same. No, what Poe could give him was an introduction to the people of the Resistance. The idea of introducing himself as the First Order traitor--no. But as Poe's friend? Yeah. He'd like that.
With Poe's help he manages to get back down without anything dire happening, though he begins to feel a few twinges in his back. Even that had been an exertion, apparently. "Poe? I'll see you in the morning."
"You can count on it." On either of those things. Both of them.
Poe slides off the bed and helps Finn get himself situated. That done, he settles back into the chair he'd been in before Finn woke up. "And count on that, too. Get some rest, buddy."

(He always says that.) BB-8 opines.
Poe grins. "And I haven't been wrong yet."
