benevolent they may be, but Finn seems a little biased, he thinks. is anything in nature really benevolent… ? he looks a little doubtful of the claim, but doesn’t call him out on it; after all, rats probably were benevolent to Finn, given their affinity… instead, he replies pleasantly to Finn’s question, with a question ;    “ sure. so, the rats follow you around… ? ”  looking to and fro the room, for where these hidden rats may be, he absently comments on the rat-Finn partnership;  “ dogs: a man’s best friend. rats: finn’s best friend … sounds nice. they’re so small—  you can sneak them into way more places; ‘don’t even have to pull the ‘they’re my emotional support rat’ thing. ”  

Finn considers Tida's response lukewarm at best. It doesn't really compel him to summon a horde of rats through the ground - destroying the floor completely. He needs a little more than a pleasantly said simple   sure   ( he isn't a man of over-the-top reactions, yet expects one in return ).

Imagine this. It’s Maxie’s second birthday. Luci, for some unknown reasons even to himself, thinks it’s a good idea to invite a clown entertainment to his son’s birthday party. The performance is fine at first, the kids are having fun. That is until the clown pulls out a gun. Luci & Liv don’t think much of it, figuring it’s a water gun for the show ... then the clown shoots up their ceiling and demands everyone to give him money and jewelry and other valuables...

Luci is not exactly in his prime years anymore, but he could’ve easily taken the guy out given his criminal background...if he wasn’t drunk AND high out of his goddamn mind...

  tida is properly shamed by the accosting, looking surprised and humbled. finn was right! he doesn’t want to stereotype rats!  “ oh— sorry… i  thought they were like, little scavengers, you know? because they pick up leftovers that nobody else wants. they’re great for that, though— don’t get me wrong. reducing food waste? that’s very conscious of them. thanks, rats! ”  ( he meant ‘ conscientious, ’ but forgot the word… ) excessively flattering the rats, he is trying to make it up to the rats that are ‘everywhere’ for his blunder…  “ are they here right now? listening? ”  his voice lowers.  “ can they understand me? ” 

Finn nods, a nod saying 'It's actually up to the rats, but they're okay with you ... for now' — Tida probably can't get all of that from a simple nod; the fact he isn't being attacked by rats should be enough.

 he leans forward, his fascination with Finn’s unusual birthright made obvious by his rapt attention, eyes agleam with questions.   “ so, say you’re in a really clean place, and there’s no rats nearby…can you summon rats ? would rats start falling out of the sky; it’s raining rats? i’m just tryin’ to see how useful this is in a fight. ”
