"What is that old saying? Opposites attract?" Finn agrees, and if their own relationship isn't an example of such a thing, he doesn't know what is. And whether Everest and Mateo balance each other out or not, at least they have each other. Neither boy is alone in the war, or in the safe haven, and that's more than the detective has ever had, so they are doing well as far as he's concerned. (Despite the parentage of his son's chosen best friend).
The idea hits him once Tobi suggests it - because of course it does - and it's only her remark that keeps Finn laying bonelessly in the grass, the ex-Spyglass smiling to himself. "I could help them to get started," he says, though they all know (Finn included) that he will stick around long after the start. It's a new project - why wouldn't he?
As Tobi speaks again, however, his brow furrows. "Perhaps with some sort of intricate pulley system?" he suggests. "Or perhaps a lid for the glass? Or... oh. Oh. This was a riddle, wasn't it?"
