finn
it always seems more quiet in the dark
No, Finn wants to smile sweetly to the woman he loves. No, I would really rather not look. But of course that isn't who he is, and Tobi is a doctor as much as she is everything else (especially to Finn). And so even as his spine turns to ice and she so gently adjusts the collar of his coat, he bows his head and nods. "Alright," he says, stepping back and away from her.
"You stay here, okay?" To keep safe, he wants to add, but he keeps that caged behind his teeth. With slow steps towards the edge of the Falling and his heart hammering in his throat, he wonders if he's about to pass out and follow his mother plummeting over the edge of it. And so it's with a squint rather than a full glance that he peers out over the naked edge of the cliff, stormy eyes seeking desperately for a glimpse of green.
"It goes straight down," he confirms, his tone bleak and quiet as he stumbles back.
