when you bury your pain
That's the thing about trust. Whilst Finn knows that Falke's heart is always going to be in right place (as is Tobi's, and any other number of the Order members who treat him with kindness), there's no escaping what they do for a living, and what that means when it comes to reporting those among them with flaws. And in Finn's case, his flaws are enough to earn him being grounded in StormBreak. So he will not begrudge the Fixer the truths of his situation, even knowing whose ears they will be whispered into. But make no mistake about it - there is no trust.

I've been getting regular medication to help with sleeping. So probably a combination of things."
