[ « The thing is? I want to tell someone. Someone that's going to understand what it was like. Everyone in the Bureau sees it from a scientific point of view. Which is fine, it's great, we can know why things happen the way they do. But... sometimes it can still feel lonely; knowing no one around me can understand it from the point of view as someone who lived it. » ]
How about we get some breakfast? [ The words come from her immediately, without thought. She hasn't eaten, and god only knows how long it has been since he's eaten. Did he even eat wherever he was? ] Then we'll go from there.
[ « Maybe by then I'll have figured out if I'm going to tell him. Or, how to tell him. »
She looks out past him to the scenery. Washington is a gorgeous place, but it feels there's something lurking beyond her eyesight. Should she take him into town for breakfast? She can't imagine the Oh Deer Diner would be a good place to visit at the moment. Nothing in Bright Falls would be, regardless of the AWE going on currently. She can't take him too far away without making her friends in the FBI a little upset. ]
Yeah, it is both of us. [ At that, Jesse finally smiles entirely. The expression might still be subtle to the untrained eye, but, a writer should notice. ] That's why you sent me after Hartman, wasn't it? Because we could cancel out the Hiss... and stop whatever else it was he became.
[ It wasn't always a gift in her mind. For the longest time she hated Polaris, thinking it was her friends fault, blaming everything on her. That wasn't true, but, kids do dumb things. ]
Every power we have can be a gift when we figure out how to use it the way that's most beneficial for everyone. [ She did note how he seemed to grab his head for a moment, but doesn't comment on it. Instead, she half turns to gesture they go back the way they came. ] We're just outside of Bright Falls... if you'd want to go into town and eat.
