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.
My child, one day you will go to college, and you will go to a frat party and you will discover the joy that is peeing on an enemy's door when incredibly drunk.
Oh, I know how to deal with my own werewolves. That's not actually a problem. I know how to hurt them and fix them and stop them in their tracks. I have been there and I have done that and the t-shirt is not really worth the trip.
Most of them are idiots anyway and wouldn't be able to plan their way out of a paper bag. I mean you have not met pointless melodrama until you have met the "demon wolf". [stiles makes the appropriate finger quotes]
But sure, hit me with it. I mean, forewarned is forearmed, right? I'm always down for gathering a little intel.
[and hey, it's something to do other than trying and failing to get some sleep]
[he huffs a soft laugh. it says something about the nogitsune experience that things like the alpha pack are actually funny to stiles now.]
No actual demons are involved. Basically it happens when an Alpha goes power hungry and kills all of his Betas. And winds up looking like the really ugly descendent of a werewolf and a bat.
[oh look daphne, stiles agrees with you on this. he points at daphne expressively with her next comment, because oh hey, another thing he can agree about.]
That. See, working together is what solves things. Haring off on your own and keeping secrets and being uncooperative... that's how things just wind up getting more shitty.

That doesn't really surprise me.
no subject
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.]
no subject
Okay.
What are you, then.
no subject
[She just looks at him, and wonders if he's too tired to figure it out.]
no subject
no subject
[Surprise!]
no subject
It just figures. Even in space I don't manage to avoid this shit.
Oh man, Derek must hate that.
no subject
[She reaches out, ruffles his hair.]
I'm not his biggest fan either, kidlet.

[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.]
no subject
[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?
no subject
I was a drunk tiger, I think that I'm pretty much excused from stupid misdeeds, okay?
[A moment.]
You know a Nuwisha?
no subject
But peeing. Ugh. Shapeshifters are weird.
... is a Nuwisha a werecoyote? Because if it is, then yes, I know a Nuwisha. I made out with a Nuwisha, even.
[what. he hadn't had a chance to brag about this to anyone yet.]
no subject
[She doesn't sound even remotely ashamed.]
A Nuwisha is a werecoyote. Was she cute?
[Hey, brag away, she's gonna go sit on the bed.]
no subject
but onto more pleasant topics]
She is definitely cute. A little aggressive maybe. But I'm getting kind of used to spending time with girls that can beat me up. So.
no subject
[She purses her lips a bit.]
I mean it might not help with your werewolf problem.

[Wait.]
The "demon wolf."
no subject

no subject
Wyrm-tainted.
[She says that like, yes, of course, that makes sense, yep, yep.]
no subject
no subject
[She says it so casually.]
Besides, it doesn't make any sense to kill all your betas. The only reason that the wolves won the War of Rage were because of packs.
no subject

[he has a lot of feelings about this]
no subject
Little bit wolfish in spirit, aren't you?
no subject
Ugh, no thanks. I already said no to that very special kind of bite ages ago.
