please don't ever become a stranger whose laugh I could recognize anywhere
No of course he didn't, Tobi thinks with affectionate annoyance, smiling to herself and taking a sip of wine. "Oh, no nothing to do with the spirits and cookies." She says with a dismissive laugh, thinking little of Ever's sudden need to categorize absolutely everything. "I've enjoyed baking more with him." Tobi adds as she pulls against one of her ankles to more tightly wind herself into a ball.
"He and Mateo got to talking...and he really wants to have Mateo, Ronin, and Remi over for dinner." She explains gently, but bluntly. Stringing things out with Finn rarely works given how fast his mind goes, and in Tobi's experience, they can get to the heart of things faster if she simply lays her cards out for him to shuffle through. "But after everything that has happened with you two in the past, and what he said about not wanting to be involved when it comes to relics, but then taking off after one..." News of that had come through almost instantly. Word travelled fast where demigods were concerned.
"But given how the boys are, I fully expect them to hole themselves in Ever's room leaving the majority of the night being just the four of us.."
