please don't ever become a stranger whose laugh I could recognize anywhere
Regrettably, Finn is the expert, much as Tobi doesn't want to believe it. She can't imagine spilling secrets just because she's had sex with someone, but then, Tobi only has one secret. And it didn't take sex to get her to tell it to Finn.
Her teeth clench as he so casually spells it out for her, and she manages—just—to keep from flinching at the word whore. It probably wasn't for Finn to decide if it was worth it, so Tobi doesn't ask. 'What could he possibly give you, that you'd want.' She wonders, shifting slightly in a way that makes her breath catch as her baby sucker punches her from the inside. "...anything would always be tainted by the knowledge it came from him. It would always remind you of this." That music shop with the speakeasy? The boards would groan Cian's name with every step. Any blue cloth inside would scream whore, but a lack of blue would just be a reminder of all the things Finn couldn't overcome.
He'd done the right thing, Tobi is quite sure of it.
"I can heal all of your bruises." Tobi whispers, this offer coming not as a doctor but as Finn's friend who also, scandalously, happens to be a unicorn. '..if you want.' She adds. While she doesn't think it makes sense for him to carry on in pain and to have physical reminders in addition to the mental ones, it was still Finn's decision to make. Gods knew Tobi had seen enough patients who needed to carry around their pain until it was their choice to let it go.
