Yeah, just another thing. [ Alan's smiling and his eyes are lit up, but there's a kind of tension in his jaw and neck that says he's not sure how well that adjustment is going to go. It's not going to go well at all, in his opinion. ]
Right. Saga's just as important to all this as anyone. [ There's a part of Alan that still feels bad for having drawn all of them into this mess, but they're here and there's no undoing it now. He doesn't quite have the same conviction that they're near the ending that Jesse does, but he wishes for it all the same.
His smile widens into the one he reserves specially for her. The touch of her hand on his only makes that smile grow. It still surprises him that she can stand to touch him when he's covered in dirt and blood and who knows what else, but somehow, even if she's feeling repulsed by him, she's never shown it.
He glances to the door when he hears the knock and the voice that belongs to Jesse's right hand man. His smile fades a little but it doesn't disappear entirely as Alan nods. He instantly offers whatever support she needs from him in order to stand up, whether that's a hand at her back or just a supportive hold on her arm. ]
Yeah. I'm ready. [ No, I'm not, but I don't have a choice. I can't let her know that. ]
