It’s the music that carries him away, ultimately - as it always has, and the smile slips from Finn’s face not because he isn’t enjoying it, but because he’s giving it his whole attention. He lets her finish her cleanup, her inspections, all of it. ”Alright,” he whispers, letting Tobi release him from the obligation of returning a friendship when he has no idea how, and he blinks his eyes open at the question, wrinkling his nose suddenly as if realising there’s water in the tub.
It runs clear now, at least, and while there’s little to be done for the rest of Apopo that’s taken residence in his curls from this vantage point, the rest of his body is clean. ”Getting out sounds good,” he mumbles, considering sticking his toe into the tap to see if he might be able to stop the water, but then Tobi’s reaching for a towel and that seems much more pleasant a prospect.
Finn is as helpful as he can be in his state, getting out of the bathtub, and whether or not he liked it, his chilled skin has resulted in a marginally clearer mind, however temporary it may be.
