The man pushed the cup forward more insistently, grunting again.
Finn shook his head again and this time, gently pushed the man's hand back. The man tensed immediately at the physical contact. Finn felt the man's muscles go rigid in that brief moment as if he was primed for action if Finn decided to move.
But after noticing that Finn's intention was only to push the cup away, he forced himself to relax.
The message seemed clear enough now. The man withdrew the cup and placed it back on the table.
Then he said nothing else and walked to the far wall, leaning on it and crossing his arms as if in waiting.
Silence reigned in the room as Finn stared at the man for a second before realizing it might have something to do with the instructions he had given his daughter earlier.
