You know, that really means a lot, Tim. I don't know if I said before, but I really appreciated having you around. I still appreciate having you around. If you were angry at me for causing you problems, I wouldn't blame you. Although I guess that something else brought you into all this before I even met you.
[ Something else, or someone else? He remembers Tim mentioning Mr. Door, needing to find him, and- isn't that how they got here in the first place? Maybe his memories are more scattered than he thought. But he definitely remembers that Door had something to do with Tim's situation; still, he knows that people around him tend to get caught in the crosshairs, and Tim seems to be no exception to that. ]
We don't know what we'll run into where we're going. Maybe having a gun will make a difference if something bad happens.
[ Maybe it's because Alan just anticipates the worst, but as the elevator doors open, he finds himself stiffened with grim anticipation. Nothing seems to happen immediately, so he follows the rangers down a hallway and then to another area that looks as though it's seen better days.
Clearly the place has been wrecked, but wrecked by what, Alan doesn't know. Alan glances sidelong at Tim before he resumes looking around at all the damage around them.
They get closer to one of the staircases, and that's when Alan spots other people, alive and as far as he can tell, mostly unhurt.
But it's not them that draw his attention; he spots a redhead standing next to a blonde, and a rush of breath leaves him all at once.
He finds himself rooted in place just as Tim is. He was looking for her, of course, but he didn't really expect to find her down here, wherever this is. ]
