He manages to avoid being smacked by Finn's face by pulling back quickly, with a bemused look.
"That's the arming sequence," He said as if he had not just armed torpedoes in the middle of a Resistance base, with dozens of bystanders. He lets Finn believe it for a couple of seconds before giving him a lopsided smile. "Haven't actually loaded up any torpedoes, since the last run, so there's nothing to arm, but that's what you'd hear, anyway."
He couldn't help himself, and rubbed a hand over Finn's short cropped hair. He wasn't much of a flight instructor - preferred to do the flying rather than teaching someone else to - but Finn was an exception. And this was better than just hovering over the ex-stormtrooper while he recovered. Having Finn up and about was a massive relief, even if Rey hadn't returned yet.
Sure, there were simulations for this kind of thing, but this was more fun.
"Right, so once they arm, the targeting computer pops up," he said as it did so, sliding into place. "If it's a large target, don't bother, it just gets in the way. But if you need pin point precision, as long as your droid knows what you need to hit, it'll feed in the targeting for you. Isn't that right, BB-8?"

The droid whistled happily from behind them.
