'Good afternoon." Tobi corrects cheerfully, setting down the tennis ball onto the piano bench and padding over to her snoozy boys. Leaning down, she presses a butterfly-soft kiss to Ever's head, smoothing away an errant curl, before finding herself doing precisely the same to Finn. Tobi doesn't even think about it, or question it, and as she straightens, it's guiltily that she looks back down at Finn.
"I did, yeah." She says with a crooked and bright smile. "Those uhm.." Itching at the space beneath her pony tail, Tobi's lips twitch back and forth as she considers Finn's question. "They..fell."
They had. Finn didn't need to know that Tobi had decided in that moment, she wanted to learn to juggle. She didn't anymore, anyway; seeing the balls bounce made her want to chase them, not toss them. That's what other people were for. "How do you feel? Get some sleep?"
