[ Polaris is a resonance. A being that exists in sound and energy waves. Alan has tapped into it, connected to it, it wouldn't be hard for his claravoyance to reach to it again. She amplifies the light in him, unlocked or gifted by the Bright Presence so long ago. The only way to rid himself of it would be to turn the dial off. No longer tune into the frequency in which Polaris exists at. The choice is always his. As long as he reaches out, Polaris will reach in return. A beneficial aid of strength on both sides.
Jesse's eyes narrow further as Scratch continues on and on. He is so convinced he would have Alan's life, fame, and works. He believes entirely that he can win with one wave of his hand with "Return." He clearly believes he could beat anything and anyone and simply sweet talk his way anywhere.
« What an asshole. »
Packaged deals can be.... unpacked, if you know what I mean.
For the first time, Jesse feels a spike of fear shoot through her. She's been afraid before, but this is the first time Scratch has said something to scare her. Terrify her straight to her core. She doesn't show it of course. Perhaps the only sign of it is her hands that clench, and she doubts he is even paying attention to that much.
« He can't do that... can he? No. No, of course he can't. The Hiss couldn't convert me and that means he can't take you away. I won't LET him. He's trying to find a way in. Burrow under my skin to try and get me on his side. He's stupid if he thinks scaring me is going to do that.
We have to be smart about this. Okay? You and me. »
Still, the thought of losing her life long friend is terrifying.
Polaris flares up around her host, shinning as best she can in the dim light. Reacting to a hostile transmission and presence. A threat. Alan Wake was never a threat and that should be enough to show the difference between the two. ]
Did you stop to think that maybe that connection to her is part of why Alan loves me? [ Jesse feels her skin crawl even giving possibility to the idea. ] If you take her away, then I'm not me. Which means I'm not the person Alan Wake loves. You'd have no interest in me after that.
So, do you really love me or do you love the idea of having what Alan can't? All I see is you wanting a trophy wife to gloat over Alan. I'm not a trophy for you to win over.
[ A pressure pushes into Scratch's side then. A leg of a chair. It isn't pressing enough to do damage or to do more than make a point that Scratch should be careful with what he says or does. ]
How would anyone actually believe you're Alan Wake if you can't even find the right words to win me over?
[ That fear still shuffles inside her. So much so that the hand Alan holds tightens around his. Polaris brightens around the hand as she reacts to the danger her host faces. ]
