[ Alan knows that there will be days when Jesse will be gone most of the day, and he understands the importance of what Jesse does. She and the others who work at the Oldest House have a hard job, and so he's resolved to just content himself with the times she can be home, because it's more than enough in his mind. ]
Always? [ He may have survived the AWE he was involved with, but that doesn't mean he knows very much about them or how they work. ] So you might have to travel around to deal with AWEs as they come up. [ He knows her, and he knows by now that she likes to be hands-on, so he imagines she wouldn't just send agents to deal with one when she could go herself. ]
Well, if that's the case, I'll just make sure the lights are always on for you when you can come home.
[ He notes the way her gaze shifts, and he's quick to react. ] She's looking out for you too because you helped save me. I'm only here because of the two of you. [ He meets her gaze with a softer look in his eyes. ]
Our firsts. [ It's the first thing he can think of to say, and, well, as far as he's concerned, it's something he wants to do. ] Everyone has that kind of bucket list idea, right? Things they've always wanted to do and check off the list as they do them.
[ They didn't really have the time or opportunity to figure out what their bucket list would look like, or even really have the chance to start dating properly because of everything they were up against.
He wants to have a proper relationship with her, to do couple things with her.... even if all they do is hold hands as they walk around, that's enough for him. ]
