perpetual anticipation is good for the soul but it's bad for the heart

Everyone is involved now. Allison, the Winchesters. We approached her honestly. Mark or not. What happened to Damian isn't our fault.

( Who could know? )

[maleficum]

Maybe you're right. But I also think that Lydia is smart enough to make sure this is weighted in her favor.

[And as he says that, his phone buzzes with Harvey's text. He sighs and holds it up for him.]

And she's currently got one of the best lawyers around on her side.

[praevaricatio]

Who knows our moves.

( He shakes his head. )

Stiles is going to be moved off the table.

( He picks up his own phone, sending a rapid-fire text to Jaqueline

You need to make contact. Harvey connected the dots. )

[maleficum]

I don't think that's a bad thing. Stiles was going to be a last resort regardless.

[It takes a minute before a response comes: And while we're making contact, what do you want us to do with the werewolf he recently brought to town?]

[praevaricatio]

( Whatever you need to do.

He taps his phone on the table with a shrug. )

Mhm.

[You're the boss.

Or something. David finishes his conversation with Harvey and glances back to his husband.]

I think we're as far as we're going to get for now. Let's get some rest and come back to this in the morning.

[praevaricatio]

I love you.

( He unleashed Jaqueline. But, it needed to happen. Stiles can't be off the board. It is Lydia's choice.

Until it's not. )

[maleficum]

Love you too.

[And with that they will head to bed and let the chaos of the current situation unfold without them.]
