Seven forty-five in the morning, when Moiraine Sedai comes to Twin Peaks, and the very first thing Dale Cooper does is drive her to the Bookhouse, funny sound in his engine be damned. Once she's safely asleep in the back room, under the guard of one of the boys, Cooper calls the sheriff's station and tells Lucy that they'll need to get somebody else to make the donut run, and he needs to see Harry, immediately.
Hours pass. Cooper conferences, explains what he knows, tells Harry and Hawk what they'll need.
The small bed is behind a wall dividing the back room into two sections. Cooper sits on the other side of that wall with a book and a cup of coffee to hand. He's begun to get his concentration back; he hasn't had to restart a chapter in several hours.

Date: 2008-11-30 05:33 am (UTC)She runs her fingertips over the texture of the blanket as she looks around, reacquainting herself with her surroundings.
"This is no dream," she murmurs, very softly. "And neither am I."

Cooper lets his chair make noise as he slides it back and stands. "Moiraine?" Quiet.

Date: 2008-11-30 05:44 am (UTC)Moiraine rises, and moves around the edge of the divider into the other side of the room. She pauses, considering him.
"Is all well?"

Date: 2008-11-30 05:46 am (UTC)Finally: "Yes." He's been looking at her for a moment as though she has two heads; no more. "How are you feeling?"

Date: 2008-11-30 05:53 am (UTC)The hint of translucence to her skin has nothing to do with saidar and everything to do with the sense of fragility that currently surrounds her.
The Aes Sedai looks up at him. "It will take some time, I suspect, but I do not feel especially unwell."

Date: 2008-11-30 06:03 am (UTC)Moiraine gives Cooper a very small, rueful smile.
"To be honest -- I am not, but I realize that I very likely should be."

Date: 2008-11-30 04:48 pm (UTC)It's evidence that they've all kind of... gotten used to Agent Cooper's ways that Lucy's answer was a cheery "Okay, Sherriff!" Or maybe not. Lucy's... Lucy.
Anyway, Harry's got a suitcase full of clothes in the passenger seat of the Bronco when he pulls up. His cursory glance showed him that Moiraine will be ready for just about any occasion, up to and including line-dancing.

Date: 2008-11-30 04:52 pm (UTC)"Morning, Harry." Cooper lifts the cup.

Date: 2008-11-30 04:54 pm (UTC)Harry, being neither: "Heya, Coop." He lugs the suitcase out of the vehicle. "She still sleeping?"

Date: 2008-11-30 05:02 pm (UTC)Twin Peaks is a small town; there's not an abundance of choice in housing, and of course there are specific concerns. "Worse comes to worse we can put her in at the Great Northern, but it's not ideal."

Date: 2008-11-30 05:18 pm (UTC)"Heck, Coop, as a Bookhouse Boy you're entitled to spend the night any time you want, anyway." It's the kind of provision that's mostly invoked when someone's too drunk to get home or is having a marital problem. "So that would work out just fine."
no subject
Date: 2008-11-30 05:23 pm (UTC)He casts a glance over his shoulder. Lowering his voice: "She's not in good shape, Harry."
