[ Alan thinks of himself as rather plain; actually, the truth is, he doesn't really think much of himself at all. He's rather ordinary, and he's not much of a catch. Jesse, on the other hand... she takes his breath away and he catches himself wondering why she even looked twice at him. Even if she didn't have Polaris with her and all the abilities that that connection entails, he knows he'd still be staggered by her. He'd still be in awe of her.
But then she says his name, and the sound of her voice pulls him out of his thoughts and back to the present, away from the question he'd asked her. He feels her touch him, and he sighs a quiet sigh. It's almost one of contentment and satisfaction, and then she kisses him again. His shoulders lower once more and his eyes focus on hers, fixing her with a loving stare. ]
Yeah... Of course. If we don't go soon, it'll be too late. [ Too late in the day, that is. They don't have to worry about their time together running out; they don't have to worry about the machinations of a dark story pulling them apart. ]
Do you want help drying off?
[ It seems that Alan won't pass up a single opportunity to help Jesse with something, even the smallest of gestures. ]
