[ It's highly possible that Alan is simply not ready. In many ways, no one could ever really be prepared for encountering the weirdness and strangeness that the world actually contains. Alan certainly wasn't, before all this started. He wouldn't even go as far as to say his eyes have been opened to the weirdness, but he's starting to see that it's not always everything that meets the eye. ]
Yeah, I guess. I know some people spend their whole lives looking for that confirmation, and sometimes they never find it. I guess we got lucky, sort of. If having confirmation that everything you thought was out there actually is out there can be lucky. But you know what I mean, right? [ They're not crazy. They just got unarguable proof that there's more out there than people think there is. ]
Well, then, that's what we'll do. You and me and- your friend. [ He's not quite sure what this friend is yet, but he's getting the sense that she's more than just an average friend, and that makes him curious. ] About your friend, though. Can I ask how she knew? Is she psychic or something?
That sounds great, actually. Finding somewhere to hole up and just- regroup. Figure things out, as much as we can, anyway. And I'd like that too, to learn more about you and your friend and get to know both of you better.
[ Somehow, Alan just knows he wants these two as allies, for as long as they'll stick around. He leans in to meet her halfway, and then she kisses him again and electricity pulses up his spine. His reaction is immediate, and he returns the kiss, pressing in as deeply as he can manage. ]
