I love the idea that Nick and Fennec had a childhood together ;w;

Apparently originally they where of about the same age and did grow up together.

But of course this movie changed a LOT! And Finn is at this point (as I suspected just from watching the movie) confirmed to be older then Nick actually! (I personally like to think by about six-seven years.)

But I do like to think he was a significant part of Nick's early teens growing up as sort of an older brother figure. And that Finn ultimate sees Nick as sort of an (occasionally annoying) younger brother. (Whom he even so looks out for when need be.)

Those two are lovely And yes, surely they're friends since their childhood
