we don't even ask for happiness; just a little less pain
"I didn't, I... I don't..." Finn shakes his head helplessly around at the area. "I have never even been here," he admits. "I remember taking something, to sleep..." It must have been potent enough that he has tumbled into a dream, enough that he hadn't even realised it...?
Suddenly he can't look at Remi, though really it's easier than if the other man had looked the same way he'd done when Finn last saw him in person. Back on Apopo, when they'd torn into each other, and fell into the volcano. Except no they hadn't, and he has to remind himself of that again.
Then the Lullaby is talking again, the Spyglass flicking his eyes up uncertainly and swallowing hard. "Uh... I can try." He focuses hard on his open palm, trying to imagine--
a feather
an apple, but to his mild frustration, nothing happens. Finn shakes his head. "I can't."
