i promise you i will learn from all my mistakes
"I could always walk you through it. If we start the algae on my toe, there should be plenty of time before it gets to my mouth and I can't talk anymore." Tobi remarks casually. As a doctor, these sorts of things simply don't worry her the way they might someone else. Her mind doesn't immediately pave out hundreds of scenarios about what might happen, because the depth of her knowledge prevents it.
As Finn stretches out his hand, Tobi glances down at it and marvels how she very nearly forgot to notice just how far Finn had come over the past few months. Silently she wondered to herself if she'd ever become so comfortable with him—and he with her—that she'd stop noticing entirely. Hoping that day would never come, the doctor slips her hand into his and reaches for her bag with the other. "Did you know that the feeling you get in your stomach when you descend quickly, or when you're nervous, is caused by your blood flow being redirected away from your intestines? The blood vessels actually constrict around your stomach and it's the nerves there that cause the fluttery feeling."
Was Tobi saying this because the descent had started to make her stomach feel like butterflies, or because she was nervous?
Yes.
