i promise you i will learn from all my mistakes
"I don't need you to, no." Tobi answers, watching the movements of Finn's thumb like one might watch some skittish fawn coming to investigate picnickers in a wood. Almost coldly practical, the doctor knows what is and isn't worth pushing for when it comes to her father and how his situation relates to her. Having Finn loiter awkwardly at the foot of his bed wouldn't bring her any more comfort over and above Finn's willingness to place himself in such a situation.
"I think he will say that as soon as he doesn't recognize me or Ever, that he'd like to go. He has missed my mother since she passed away. The only thing keeping him here in this state is his family." Tobi replies easily, turning her shoulders slightly to better see Finn out of her peripheral vision. "Unless I could be useful somehow—" Perhaps she could be made to shift and her horn harvested over and over again for healing, "—I'm not sure why I would need to be kept alive." This is of course a very doctorly answer to give, but Tobi finds she absolutely means it. "I would want.." Pausing, Tobi finds herself blushing, but it's a crimson sort of blush rather than the delicate pink that accompanies amusement or embarrassment. She was going to say you and Ever, but of course that suddenly feels like quite the leap, given that this was only her and Finn's second date in over a year. "..all my goodbyes to be made while I was still fully me." She decides at last.
