October
when the night falls on you
& you don't know what to do
& you don't know what to do
"Oh, I see. Well...watch that you don't trip, when you do open your door." Just as she had done once, Tobi skillfully pulls out bits of information from what little Finn does say so that she needn't impose on him more than is necessary. A thousand questions vie for purchase on her tongue, but Tobi asks only one of them. "Physically, how do you feel?" She asks, her voice sounding more confident by degrees given the medical relevance of her question. Tobi is careful though to make sure she emphasizes that it's only the state of his body she's asking about.
"All the more reason not to forget him." Tobi whispers back, in a voice tinged with stubbornness and sadness.
As quickly as she can, Tobi completes the more sensitive part of Finn's exam. To say that he looks used is an understatement, but from a medical perspective, he does indeed look fine. She could prescribe him topical ointments and things, but she's quite sure that he'll decline.
Reaching for a blanket, Tobi delicately covers Finn. It's knitted but light, offering comfort rather than warmth. 'What do you need, Finn?' She asks through a throat growing tighter with every word spoken. A shower? A shave? Drugs? Food? To disappear? To sleep? Anything she could, she'd give to him.

nothing you confess
could make me love you less
