it does not bother me to say this isn't love
'I can do that. My parents studied Outlanders for most of their lives, so I even know a few from other worlds." With the influx of Outlanders into Caido in the past few years what Tobi knew about them had stopped being quite so mysterious given that they were just..wandering about now, and could be asked. Still, she was sure she could tell Locke a few tales from other lands that he might like.
'I think so too.' She says of the name Basil. However as Locke glances down at her, Tobi looks right back, smiling faintly with nothing but kindness in her dark honeyed stare. 'Oh, I like Loxley.' Tobi hums under her breath, and just as she's about to ask why he'd said his name had started with a B, he explains. The doctor's smile turns sweet and vaguely nostalgic as Locke describes the three names he's acquired over his life.
She doesn't hear the words he says, but notices that they aren't directed toward her. So as he whispers and fidgets, Tobi just lets him, perhaps drawing slightly closer against him and giving his arm a reassuring squeeze. "So what should I call you?" She wonders, before chuckling at his question. "Well, if you don't find it demeaning to have a cute name, why should a dragon?"
