when you bury your pain
"Then I look forward to misunderstanding them. I'll take notes and have my questions ready for you by tomorrow morning," Finn says easily as they head downstairs. It's only the fact that there are so many floors to walk that prevents him from offering out his arm for Tobi; they'd only end up stepping out of pace, and that would ruin it. "Oh - sure," he says, nodding and following her now towards her apartment.
It's a place Finn has never been, and in any ordinary circumstance he'd have likely made it into a Big Deal in the way that the Spyglass is prone to do. But right now, with snapdragon crackling through his blood? Everything feels brighter; his steps come with more of a spring in them, and even stepping through her doorway brings with it a sense of euphoria.
"Sure," he calls back to her, finding himself meandering around the lounge before pausing before a bookcase. By the time Tobi returns, the Spyglass will accidentally be alphabetising the books on the shelf at his eyeline, turning to smile lopsidedly at her and straighten up. "You look lovely," he says, stepping towards the door before pausing suddenly, glancing back at her. "Oh - you said you had something to tell me yesterday. I think I'm ready to hear it now." He smiles.
