( He saw the texts. He just didn't reply to the texts. He wouldn't be of enough help until he gets his bloodlust under control. )

No, that's not how Allison goes. She took a sword through the chest. She survived the Oni.

( How one leads into the next, he doesn't know, but it should. )

Have you talked to Chris?

[beanchaointe]

No. I'm going to wait until I actually have the details.

[She can't just half-ass this call.]

I can let you know when I know more?

[phonetically]

Yeah. Please.

( He grips the phone and brings it down from his ear, clenching it hard before tapping speakerphone and slamming it down onto the table. )

Is it done? Is Monroe done?

[beanchaointe]

If she's not now, she will be soon. Scott said he convinced a good chunk of her army to leave New Orleans. It's just a matter of time.

[Good riddance, in Lydia's opinion.]

[phonetically]

Scott McCall coming in with the spare.

( He shuts his eyes and sits back, letting out a breath. )

Shit. Call me when you know more.

[beanchaointe]

I will.

[There's a pause, before she comes back.]

Look, Stiles, I get that you needed your space and you're dealing with a lot ... but you do know that you can tell us that, right? You don't have to just disappear.

[phonetically]

( He pinches the bridge of his nose. )

Disappearing wasn't a plan, it just - I went for a walk and then I had my bag and -- I just went back. I'm not hiding.

[beanchaointe]

But you're not responding, either.

[She pauses again.]

That sounds a little like hiding.

Be there for Allison and for Malia. And leave Peter out of it, too, until we know exactly what happened.

( He shifts his wrist flexing his fingers. )

Not that I get to make that call, I just - bringing Peter in's not going to go anyone's way.

( Sighing. )

I know I don't need to tell you about Peter Hale.

[beanchaointe]

No, you don't. I haven't told him anything.

[But she knows one misguided alpha who could.]

But Scott might. You should call him and make sure he doesn't.

[phonetically]

Yeah. Okay. I'll call Scott.

( This day is just getting shittier. )

[beanchaointe]

[Tell her about it.]

Be safe, Stiles.

[And with that she will hang up and prepare for her trip to New Orleans.]
