you are a terribly real thing in a terribly false world
Finn should know better, at this point. It’s been quiet, and he’s good at his bookkeeping - he knows this check-up is due. And yet with all that has been happening since his arrival in Torchline, he’s let his concentration lapse somewhat. Falke will find the room neat but lived in - and if that isn’t Finn in a nutshell, he doesn’t know what is - and he will be left with the drum of the downpour against the windows, right up until five minutes before the appointed time.
The Spyglass has come back to the room to try to make himself presentable, assuming he’ll be zapping away home to meet with Falke. His door is open already and, absent-minded as he knows he can sometimes be, Finn does not think much of it. Stepping into the room, he doesn’t look great, plainly put - his coat is folded over one arm, his clothes (consisting of a dark blue shirt and pants that were previously pressed neatly) completely soaked through and covered in sand and earth.
He shuts the door, and is already half unbuttoning his shirt when he sees Falke. Pausing, he watches the other man for a second, before his shoulders slump and he lets out a long sigh. ”I am early,” he informs him. It sounds like an attempt at a justification.

and that, I believe
is why you are in so much pain
