October

when the night falls on you
& you don't know what to do

'Well, you would get on your hands and knees and arch your back, and I'd lay across you.' Tobi replies, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. 'If you can, that would work too.' She agrees, of him contorting into the couch-arm. Very nearly does she steal the cheese and apple from him, but instead she gives him a crooked smile and makes her own, but with double the cheese.

'Not that I remember. One day it's just sort of there. Like all of a sudden having a new sense. But no, I don't think I'll suddenly end up shifting mid-conversation or anything.' Popping her double-cheese sandwich into her mouth so that her lips don't have time to frown, Tobi just nods, appreciating the sentiment. "Me too." She agrees around a mouthful of absolute deliciousness. "But there wasn't anything either of us could do about it." Not only were they not together, but Finn couldn't have rejected his assignment even had he known.

The words maybe next time? hover on her lips, but that absolutely isn't the type of conversation they should be having, and so Tobi washes the question down with a sip of wine. 'I don't think there are any animals here that can teleport. Blink hares maybe, but they don't go far. That's the only ability I think I would like to have.'
