please don't ever become a stranger whose laugh I could recognize anywhere
Tobi is about to continue, to point out the illustration and explain to him about the man who drew them when she feels Finn all but slump against her. It takes almost all Tobi has not to burst out laughing, and indeed she has to bite her lips together to keep her amusement tucked safely away in the back of her throat.
"Fairytales are always stronger than medicine. Tobi sweetly whispers, reaching across as carefully as she dares, to tuck the blanket back under Finn's chin.
Finishing the rest of the book herself, her eyebrows rising and falling with her inner narration, it's only when the candle in her office burns itself out that Tobi is forced to consider sleeping arrangements. She won't wake Finn for all the world, but nor does she think she can sleep with him awkwardly resting half on her shoulder. So she does what any good doctor and friend would do when faced with a touch-wary friend in need of sleep: she becomes a pupper to cuddle the shit out of him safely. In the morning, Finn will find himself still on the couch, with a warm wet nose pressed against his neck and a snoozing berner in his arms.
