FINN
At times Finn would love not to be who he is - or even to be the person he had been this time last year, teasing himself out of his shell and challenging the things he had assumed to be gospel. Alas, things change and here he is. But he and Tobi are still sneaking out for a stroll at Longnight and getting hot chocolate together, so perhaps there's more to optimism than Finn thinks. The conviction in the doctor's voice has him glancing up, his stormy eyes a mixture of shocked and hopeful, and he tries and fails to stop his smile.
"He is smart, too. And if he is strong then he gets it from you," he murmurs, like one compliment can't be given without another in return. "...I am glad, that he went and spoke to you. I think that if he can speak to both of us about the things that are bothering him, then we must be doing something right."
And so, rising to his feet and stirring the rest of the melted cream into his hot chocolate, Finn reaches out to offer Tobi his hand. "That sounds nice. Let's go."
