October
when the night falls on you
& you don't know what to do
& you don't know what to do
"I think that some of this work...all of it maybe, should be done by an Eye. And if no one is willing to take that role..." Then perhaps all of Cian's tasks and unfinished business should die with him.
Smiling with immediate love and warmth, Tobi pushes herself away from the bookshelf, placing down the purple volume onto the desk as she comes to place herself before Finn. Reaching for his cheeks and smoothing a curl away from his face, she beams with unfettered adoration and patient understanding as she gazes into his stormy stare. "I think you should decide." Tobi says in a soft, but strong voice. "I think this is the first time in..maybe as long as you can remember where there hasn't been an Eye watching you." She thinks it must be a bit like when she was able to perform her first surgery and had to go on without anyone calling the shots or affirming her decisions. Only for Finn, this was likely a thousand times worse. "I could give you reasons for and against becoming the Eye, for and against staying in this room, for and against running away in the Wilds and never looking back." Tilting her head slightly to the side, her dark eyes sparkling with laughter as if this weren't the weighty conversation that it was, Tobi drops one hand to place it on Finn's chest.
"But I think this choice needs to be yours." She whispers, aware of how scandalous this suggestion would likely sound to someone like Finn.

nothing you confess
could make me love you less
