October
when the night falls on you
& you don't know what to do
& you don't know what to do
"Those parts are just fine, too." Tobi replies confidently. "I see dead bodies all the time and am rarely rattled by it." She adds, trying to shift the focus away from Cian being a prick who got what was coming to him, and towards the ability to simply be okay with certain things. "Then we will work on healing those parts too." Later when Finn returns, he'll find Safrin's strings free of his blood. Whether they have magically cleaned themselves or if the strings have soaked in the Spyglass's blood won't be readily apparent.
Leaving Finn to the bedroom, Tobi runs some hot water, adding a few oils that have homeopathic calming effects. Even if they don't, the doctor likes the smell of them. Returning to Finn with a bowl and washcloth, Tobi sets them down on the bedside table and reaches for the hem of the Spyglass's shirt to tug it over his head. Sweatstained and bloody she doesn't allow it to be neatly folded, but instead throws it towards the hall where she can dispose of it later. "No one can make you do anything, now." Tobi says softly, knowing that this will be as much of a comfort as it is some perilous look down a cliff for Finn.
Reaching for his hands, Tobi softly cleans the blood off with gentle motions; not because there are any wounds, but because she loves Finn so much, that even his pain is worth savouring for the him of it all.

nothing you confess
could make me love you less
