bring your sunshine

October

It's a quiet consolation
A mistake that I don't mind

If Tobi is surprised to hear such conviction in Finn's voice, she doesn't let it linger for long. Letting her long fingers gently move across her own instrument, the doctor shrugs non-commitally. "I'm sure you've bumped into him at some point." She says, biting the inside of her cheek and casting her gaze toward one of the far windows. "He's a researcher, like you. Although, he's limited himself to just Outlander lore for the past few decades." This is said not with embarrassment, but with the acknowledgement that many disapproved of what her parents had dedicated their lives to. Most in Stormbreak considered themselves far superior to the Outlanders even before they had started showing up in waves. "It can be hard to see him. He...doesn't really acknowledge that she's gone." Tobi lets this statement hang in the air, not looking at Finn. She doesn't want to pressure him into familial conversations that might make him uncomfortable.

'Well, you can see her in your mirrors, then. That's something she gave you." The doctor replies with a sweet smile, nudging Finn's shoulder gently with her own, before steering the conversation into decidedly more absurd waters.

"That's clever. But I'd say that's something they have in common, not what makes them different. Try again." Sunnily said, her voice sounding more musical, Tobi encourages her friend with a broad grin, as if her enthusiasm might lead him toward the answer he'll surely never find.

Maybe you'll meet me at the station
Or maybe somewhere down the line
