"I know, but I should have been more careful. I never want you to have to pay for my mistakes." Tobi argues; in wanting to accept all the blame and never letting anyone bear responsibility for their actions, the doctor and the Spyglass were fairly evenly matched.
Tobi nods, swallowing down all the guilt and lingering need to apologize profusely. This was about Finn now. She could send him a thousand letter openers and notepads with stupid puns on them later to try and make up for things.
"Okay." Releasing her fingertips from one another, Tobi lets her hand fall back down toward her leg, though not all the way. It remains between them, if only slightly, her fingers loosely opened towards him. The gesture is meant to be undemanding and easy to ignore if he wants to, or not. Tobi never quite knows when physical contact serves as reassurance for Finn and when it sets his hackles up.
"We'll figure it out. Together." She says with a reassuring nod. "What do you need?" A vacation? A quick coma? Another snow-filled gallop through the Celestine?
