phantom dancing

October

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

Softly, with love and understanding, Tobi nods. "Inside, there will be all of his high bookshelves, his drink cart, and his desk. It will feel like an invasion, but it isn't. This was never Cian's office, it was the Eye's, and without one, it's just a room used to store things." That the fireplace would be flickering, low and ominous once they entered was not something Tobi might have foreseen. It doesn't occur to the doctor to think that some parts of the room might be trapped or otherwise made to ensure that no one tampered with them. It doesn't occur to her, as it might to someone like Sera, that there are secret rooms, levers, or drawers.

"Of course I will go in with you. I'll even help sort through things." Tobi adds chipperly, but as she comes to stand beside Finn, she lets the Spyglass take all the time he needs before opening the door.

nothing you confess
could make me love you less
