[de_void]

[a slight pause before stiles answers the door. since the last time he spoke to her it's been back to one or two hours of sleep a night and he's clearly showing the strain. eyes bruised and skin wan.

he gives her a weak smile though and steps aside to let her in. his room is surprisingly immaculate for a teenage boy. not a single item out of place.]

Hey.

[de_void]

and we never remember anything?

[chuffle]

[He smells like exhaustion, she thinks. She smiles gently when she sees him, though, and pulls a bottle of - something - out of her back pocket. The pills rattle about.]

I can't actually tell you what it is, but the doc says take two a day, 12 hours apart.

[de_void]

[stiles tries not to grab at the bottle too quickly, but his hands shake a little as he works the cap off and taps two pills into his palm.

he dry swallows both of them with ease.]

As long as it works and doesn't make me, like, grow extra limbs, I don't really care.

Thanks Daphne.

[chuffle]

You're welcome.

Okay, so, now that you've taken them, I need to tell you something.

[It's not really bad news.]

[de_void]

[stiles makes a face.]

Oh god. It's not actually going to make me grow extra limbs, is it?

[chuffle]

No, I'm guessing not.

[A pause.]

Derek asked me to keep an eye on you.

[No that's not it.]

[de_void]

[stiles sighs and sits down on his bed, scrubbing a hand through his hair.]

That doesn't really surprise me.

[chuffle]

And don't get me wrong, sugarplum, I'm going to.

But you have to know something about me, first.

I'm not exactly human. I didn't...evolve from the apes, as it were.

[She leans against the door.]

[de_void]

[stiles blinks slowly in her direction, chewing on his lower lip.]

Okay.

What are you, then.

[chuffle]

I'm a Khan.

[She just looks at him, and wonders if he's too tired to figure it out.]

[de_void]

I have no idea what that is.

[chuffle]

It's a weretiger.

[Surprise!]

[de_void]

[a small pause as stiles processes this information before he starts laughing.

It just figures. Even in space I don't manage to avoid this shit.


Oh man, Derek must hate that.

[chuffle]

That I can kick his ass, probably.

[She reaches out, ruffles his hair.]

I'm not his biggest fan either, kidlet.

[de_void]

Derek doesn't win many fights, that's not saying much.

[stiles closes his eyes and leans into her touch instinctively. he freezes up for a moment when he realizes what he's done, but his shoulders drop a second later and he just, lets himself enjoy it.]

Why not?

I mean, aside from the poor social skills, long suffering attitude and bunny teeth.

[chuffle]

Mmm....the reasons you said. Not the bunny teeth, actually. But this they don't even shift thing is lame.

[Pause.]

And okay, I smell like a giant cat. And I may have peed outside his room to piss him off. To be fair, I was sort of drunk.

[She doesn't actually remember if it was outside Derek's room or George's room, but either way, there was a werewolf living there.]

[de_void]

[stiles smiles softly.] The bunny teeth are pretty special though, aren't they?

[and then he feels the need to defend his home team, ever so slightly. though why he couldn't even begin to imagine.]

That's... not actually completely true? Derek's mom could shift into a full wolf. And I guess maybe his sister.

And I. I knew a girl that could turn into a coyote.

[he wrinkles his nose and pulls away to give her a mildly betrayed look at her admission.]

You peed outside his room?
