FINN

the spyglass

it is only through mystery and madness

"No, that it isn't," Finn murmurs in a tone that suggests absolute agreement, though he offers little in response as to his own employment. It's a long and complicated and sad tale, in a long and complicated and sad life. And he isn't sure that this is the time nor the place to go into it, not when his legs are slowly starting to ache with the cold. He doesn't expect, though, for Tobi to give the snippet about her family that she does, the Spyglass glancing up with a ghost of warmth in his stormy eyes. "You must love them very much," he says quietly.

He doesn't notice the way she falls to a halt, not at first, and up ahead he spots the turning for the Tower. Lips part to let her know, only for Finn to find himself alone; he turns, and the smile he directs at her is just slightly tinged with concern. "Are you alright?" he asks, only for Tobi to snap right back into his dream about the music shop. "Oh... yes, I will." He can somehow see the doctor as a chipper bartender; indeed, it's a surprisingly easy image to conjure.

"The Tower is up ahead - we shouldn't get lost, at least."
