finn
it always seems more quiet in the dark
Accepting the pen, it is clear that Finn doesn't expect Everest to forge the signature just the same as Finn wouldn't give it with anything but sincerity. And so, with the notebook on his knee, he delivers his looping signature at the bottom of Ever's carefully printed rule, handing it back when he's done. "There," he says with a small smile. "And now it's official."
The overthinking and concern ought to have been foreseen, and Finn reaches out to softly grasp his son's shoulder, offering him a gentle smile. "Ever," he says. "We are going to the Safe Haven together, and that is final. It is a decision your mother and I made, and we are comfortable that there are plenty of other people here who are better able to help. This isn't your decision and it isn't your responsibility. Okay?"
