[ In spite of himself, in spite of whatever Zane's doing, Alan watches the TV, completely riveted. He knows he has to be careful. He won't have Jesse coming back here to the Dark Place, because it's all too clear to him that it's dangerous.
Still, he can't seem to force himself to look away from the screen, no matter what Zane says. ]
They're- What? I don't know what you're thinking, but no one's onto anyone, at least not in a "gotcha" kind of way. [ His eyes narrow as he briefly spares a glance for the other man. ]
What's got you so scared? Whatever it is, I won't say anything about you.
[ Zane's just fallen several rungs down the ladder of Alan's interest. He could run away or leave the room and that would be fine with him. Alan's not scared at all, because he knows just who he's looking at on the screen. The shimmering is just another confirmation of that. He trusts it, and it's a welcome sight. ]
