you are a terribly real thing in a terribly false world
Falke takes his notes and Finn leans in to sip at his cup of tea, savouring the heat and the taste of the drink. It floods his senses momentarily, affording a brief distraction; he has asked, before, about bringing along something to distract him when sleep starts to become problematic. He has of course been shot down for it, but the Fixer is a different beast. Perhaps he will have more luck. That tastes too much like hope, though, so Finn leaves it there and zones back into the conversation.
”A walk?” he echoes, leaning back in his seat and mulling it over, shrugging his shoulders. ”It cannot hurt,” he says. ”I’ll try and walk along the beach tonight, if I can’t drift off.” But more effective, even if never an exact cure, are the valerian root and the lavender. ”If you wouldn’t mind,” he says slowly.
He grows visibly uncomfortable as the subject turns more intentionally to Remi and how meeting him has affected the Spyglass; whilst it’s true that Finn likely needs to talk about it, he doesn’t have to be happy about it. ”I’m fixating on everything,” he confesses. ”The similarities between us, the differences. He is a very different man, but... I can’t explain it. I am drawn to him, but I don’t think it’s good for me.”

and that, I believe
is why you are in so much pain
