October
when the night falls on you
& you don't know what to do
& you don't know what to do
Normally the one telling others that they didn't have as long as they expected, to hear that the time frame was asap has Tobi pulling in a shivery breath that unsettles the mask of neutrality she's desperately trying to keep in place.
Finn's smile has Tobi wanting to melt for all the wrong reasons, and it's nearly impossible for her to remain still and silent rather than shifting so that she might collapse into his arms and cover his face with kisses and chase away his worries with her bodyweight. Instead, Tobi curls her toes into the carpet and gives her head a shake that dislodged a bit of hair from her hastily-tied ponytail. "Don't be sorry. It's your job." She says, not meaning the words as a jab, but understanding perhaps better than most what it means to be properly dedicated to the Order despite all of its faults. "And I won't let you give me that much credit." Tobi adds, trying on a tentative smile of her own that only makes her heart hurt more. "You always have been stronger than you gave yourself credit for."
So saying, the doctor leans back slightly, laying her hand palm-up on the couch between them for Finn to take if he wanted. "I can send you with a kit of medical supplies." Tobi offers. It would be helpful and would also give Tobi a reason to go back to her office where she could have a proper breakdown about all of this. "I assume you'll have people who can heal with you, but...it's always good to have more than you need when it comes to medical supplies."

nothing you confess
could make me love you less
