please don't ever become a stranger whose laugh I could recognize anywhere
'Honestly? I don't think she ever sleeps. She's worse than we are.' Tobi's voice is hushed conspiratorially as if the nurse might be lurking just outside. "It wouldn't surprise me to learn that she has some sort of charm that just...sucks away happiness in return for never needing to sleep.'
Glancing back at Finn and forcing herself to see him as someone potentially still in need of her more medically-minded attention, Tobi extracts one of her hands to reach up and lay it on his forehead. Her movements are slow and the intention of her hand should have been obvious enough. "Mmmm...mhmm. Just what I thought." She mumbles under her breath. "You absolutely need more sleep." Tobi concludes as if his temperature was any indication at all.
'Do..you mind if I stay?" She asks softly, and it isn't shyness that makes her voice quiet; just simple respect for what Finn was most comfortable with. But then, not wanting for her words to be misconstrued (especially for Finn, "stay" could mean any number of things), she adds: "Like this, I mean. I can shift if you'd prefer, but..." Nearly, she says it's more comfortable, but she doesn't. Because it isn't the full truth. "..I like this, more."
