And Danny's important to me. So, if you really want to be Even Steven, promise to call me if anything happens, or if he needs me and refuses to tell me or just doesn't want to. Just. Be the guy. Because, aunt Bonnie is great and she will respect his wishes, but, sometimes. ( He needs someone one step further. ) Can you do that?

[notwitty]

[There's a moment where he swallows hard because the last time the Brightons were left in his care, it didn't end so well. But he won't say that now, just nod in agreement.]

He's not going down on my watch. I'll keep an eye on him.

[bibrid]

Aunt Bonnie likes you. So, you got a leg up.

( But keep it there. )

[notwitty]

Yeah, I'm not trying to ruin that anytime soon.

[He'll be honest about that because he really does like her. And for some reason, she still likes him even after the fit of claustrophobia he had in Prague almost got someone killed.

She's definitely the best thing that's happened to him in a while. He smirks.]

Sometimes I am smarter than I look.

[bibrid]

You have the fashion down.

( If the smart is underneath, isn't that better? )

I'm going to really miss him, Isaac.

[notwitty]

He's going to miss you too. And the time zones are gonna suck.

[Would have been worse if she was on the West Coast, but even from New York it's still a five hour time difference.]

But I also know he really likes you. So as long as you're still in it too, he'll do what it takes to make it work.

[bibrid]

You have a lot of insight there.

( Is that where Danny puts his feelings? Into Bonnie and then she talks to Isaac? Are Danny and Isaac friends? )

Thanks, Isaac. For the apology, the coffee, and the promise.

[notwitty]

My pleasure.

[And he does mean that. He hopes that this is the start of them getting to know each other better, given their shared people between them.

But no, Danny has not told Isaac anything. Isaac is just a werewolf and can smell mopey teenage pheromones a mile away. If he's that sad about leaving her, he'll make sure to prioritize her.

And with that, he'll get up to head back to the hotel.]

I'll let you get back to class.

[bibrid]

( she may have skipped class today on account of the all-around moping, but she doesn't tell him that.

walking back, she texts her sister )

we like Isaac now

[polydeukes]

[Josie is not going to tell Lizzie that she already liked Isaac. She'll just let her think that she had the breakthrough and is making the decision.]

You guys talked about what happened on the solstice?

[bibrid]

Isaac's idea. And apparently, Danny's crazy about me.

[polydeukes]

Well, that's pretty obvious. When we were in New York, it was pretty much heart eyes all the time.

How are you doing with them leaving soon?

[bibrid]

I'm a wreck. I skipped class. It's fine. We'll have a tear-filled goodbye and I'll be fine. And he won't go across the ocean and die.

[polydeukes]

With all of the people watching his back, he definitely will not go across the ocean and die.

[Especially not with all the effort that's been made to keep him alive this long.]

Do you want me to come up? I have a long weekend at the start of October, and we could just hang out? We haven't really had proper sister time in a while.

[bibrid]

Yes. I will never say no to sister time. Unless it pushes in on boyfriend or girlfriend or theyfriend time. Which, this won't.

And you have to meet Alice. She has weapons and a dark family legacy. It's giving Laughlin.

[polydeukes]

Can't wait. I'll let you know when I've booked the flight.

[And broken the news to her girlfriend. Sorry, Hope, you get a weekend all to yourself. Maybe you can hang out with your mom or something, now that things seem to have quieted down.]
