[Felix said with the casual matter-of-fact tone of a shrug. Like an implied 'why wouldn't I?' rested within his words.
He was fighting some sort of emotion again. As he watched Finn go through his feelings with them written plain as day on his face, Felix couldn't help it though damn if he didn't try. From the guilt of making Finn falter to the self-serving joy of making Finn grin for seeing his sword again. His hand tightened into a shaky fist on the opposite side of his body from where Finn stood, hidden beneath the folds of the blankets covering Felix as he lay in the infirmary bed. Then relaxed as he gave up.
What use did it serve him to fight it off when it was clearly here to stay. Besides, if he didn't think too much about it, it kinda felt good. So with that his whole demeanor changed, relaxed, and his tone of voice took on a genuine note to it.]
Well, technically I got McCoy to grab it when I spotted it, but I couldn't damn well let it get lost. It was about all I could do was hold onto yours alongside mine when they got me out of the ruined tower.

[a beat and then:]
It was worth it.
