we are all broken
Finn doesn't plan to go anywhere, and it's not just because he doesn't think he'll be able to stay on his feet if he lets go of Tobi. He feels warm wherever they touch, the Spyglass breathing in the fresh scent of blossoms and new leaves of the Greatwood, the earth beneath their feet, the sweat and fresh water from the Crimson Cataract. Drawing her further back against his chest, he doesn't release her, but his touch does become a little less possessive, and the colour in Finn's cheeks suggests that he's perhaps a little bit embarrassed of his behaviour.
Tobi's words change all that, though, the Spyglass letting his eyes slip shut as she presses her lips against his cheek. "I love you too," he whispers, the quiet and almost humble tone to his voice suggesting that this is a realisation as much as it is a declaration. "I am in love with you, October Hart. I'm sorry it took me so long to say it."
