[ The good news, Scott supposes, is that this conversation is so long overdue on his end....
Overdue and something he has sincerely regretted not being able to have with her before she was gone. Not just unable because she was gone but just straight unable. Maybe he needed all those years to get there.
That's not flattering, but maybe.
His voice changes, gets warmer and... gruffer at the same time. Sad but not in some broken way. He tilts his head to look around and down at her, and moves her hair out of his way so he can do it.]
Jean? [ Look up here, sweetheart, goes unsaid and unprojected, but it's in there. ]
