"Yeah, Jesse mentioned something about that. APPARENTLY she had all the manuscript pages. Not Rose." [ Barry's tone reflects agitation, but maybe more at himself for being wrong on who to pick to trust. ] "And, you know--woah, Al!"
[ Polaris tugs at Jesse's mind before Alan even begins to move. Her head shoots up from his shoulder, stepping a half step back to look at him. He begins to move and her arms shift to try and support him against the wall. His hand rests on the top of her head, but the worried expression doesn't change.
« What's wrong? Did--did the jerk in charge of this do something to him? He needs to sit down. W-where's a chair? »
She turns to begin looking around for a chair to borrow. Barry raises a hand and waves it side to side, already on the way with the requested chair. Jesse steps away long enough for the chair to be put in front of the two. She stands almost perfectly still, eyes moving between each player in the room. ]
"As for your question? Al, did that quack give you something? You've been in Bright Falls over a week. You know. That week you're missing memories from? You wrote this entire manuscript--allegedly--in one week. Now, I'm not doubting when you put your mind to things, but this is some crazy shit to have written in a week."
[ « He really loves the sound of his own voice, doesn't he? »
Polaris shifts in amusement. ]
"Of course I'd come get you. Besides being your agent, we're best friends!"
[ Jesse pauses, remaining silent. Her eyes shift to the side slightly.
« Best friends, huh? I wouldn't know what thats like. You're my best friend... but I'm pretty sure it's not the same thing. » ]
