we don't even ask for happiness; just a little less pain
Tobi means to be playful, means to reassure, but Finn can't help the way he winces as she reminds him that everyone has problems. He is hardly the only person in Stormbreak with problems with issues. How had he gotten here? He had once been a man with a few particulars, nothing more... and now he barges into a doctor's office without a thought. His lips part to apologise, but the words die on his tongue with the warm feel of her knee against his thigh.
The contact is something so bold and unexpected that it takes Finn out of himself, if only for a second. "How do you know?" he asks. How does she know that this isn't his fault? Smiling sadly down at his hands, the fingers knitting together around the blanket, he forces himself to sit back and relax a bit into the couch. His mind screams at the idea of it, but his body insists on rest. "I don't even know myself any more."
