What will you do when I pass it. Flying colors.

( Owned. )

[swillpot]

Then you get to meet my dad.

[Which is just going to be very, very interesting all around.]

And you have to pass his text run.

[illtempered]

Then I'll pass his. I'll pass yours. I'll pass his. I'll pass the next.

( That's fast, though, to meet parents. Good to take things as they come. Ethan didn't have them. Just a dead brother. Jackson can charm when he does want to. Something to keep his eye on. A prize, so to speak.

Respect he deserves. )

When do you need to return. Actually.

[swillpot]

Not until things are buttoned up here. Probably wait out the next couple days and make sure there wasn't a back up pile of hunters.

[So maybe Monday or Tuesday.]

[illtempered]

Thank you, for helping today.

( He's finished his plate, but he's content to sit and bask in Alexander's presence. )

Should I tell Lydia they need a ring or do we pick that up, too?

( Ring, moonstone. Driving the Hale's. )

[swillpot]

They do need a ring, but it's a specific stone. They need lapis lazuli. We can pick it up, if you know where the jewelers are but the Headmistress might have a stash at the school if she calls ahead.

[It would be the smart thing to do if you had a collection of vampire students who needed to pass during daylight hours.]

[illtempered]

... Caroline?

( Right? She's in his address book now. Which brings him to sending another text.

to Caroline )

I have a witch who can help Stiles. Do you have a lapis lazuli stash? )

I don't know where anything is. Except, for my car, this house and the hospital. ( And the B and B. ) You think this town has a jewelers.

[swillpot]

[It takes a moment, before she responds:

Stop by the school. Ric will have it ready for you.

Alexander shrugs.]

Rich people love jewelry.

[illtempered]

( Showering and changing to be graduation ready?

Sure. )

History, maybe. You think this town is wealthy?

[swillpot]

Not all of them, but ...

[He gestures to the house that they are currently sitting in.]

At least some of them are.

[illtempered]

Vampires. And founding family.

( But. Yeah. Okay. He sets the phone faced down. )

Alaric Saltzman has a ring ready for Stiles.

[swillpot]

[He nods, before stretching a bit as he pushes to his feet.]

Then let's pick it up and get this show on the road.

[illtempered]

Yeah. Okay. One more thing.

( Since Katherine and Damian are taking their leave. He draws Alexander close, another kiss, this one more private than the first. Private and prolonged. )

Have I said thank you yet?

[swillpot]

Not yet.

[He smirks as the kiss breaks.]

I figured you were getting around to it.

[illtempered]

Thank you.

( And they're off! )
