Finnick catches the moment of hesitation. Perhaps uncertainty, perhaps fear. Finnick doesn't know the whole story, and he's sure there is one, but he isn't going to pry for it or tell Angel what to do. All he can do is be honest about his own situation.
The move of deflection where instead of revealing anything more serious, Angel flirts instead, is not lost on Finnick either, as it's a classic move of his own.
It's refreshing, though, to meet someone so similar to him. Unnerving, a little, but fun. Because usually, when Finnick reveals his escort job wasn't his choice, people treat him with kid gloves and put him off the table for sex, whereas Angel does the opposite, seeing it for the asset it is (in Finnick's opinion). Thank god, honestly. He can't stand the assumption that just because he's been in unconsensual situations, he can't possibly know what he wants or ever have his own agency to say yes.
"Sure. I'm always up for it," he says with a mirrored grin, and it's true. He does really enjoy flirting and sex, and whatever kind of creature Angel is, it doesn't matter. He's cute.
