( He shouldn't worry. She's not taking it that personally. She has graduated from guilt, well, guilt not directly related to her. Jed can't blame her for his sterling reputation, his beginnings with Rafael and Alyssa Chang. She does like this Jed more, it's true. But, he came from something.
"It probably will," Hope hates to break it to him. "You're a no-show dropout as far as they're concerned."
If he accepted his spot in their year. )
They won't listen, or bend the rules for extenuating circumstances?
It's kind of hard to explain you were kidnapped by witches to a world that mostly doesn't believe they exist. And it's not as though I have any kind of documentation for anything else.
[He'll figure it out. If he has to go to another school, he'll figure that out too.
"I'm sure there's a way." Josie offers him a smile. "I'm just glad you guys are both safe. Have you talked to Finch?"]
Yep. She tore me a new one, but she knows I'm alive.
We had plans to see her before we strayed from the path.
( Maybe they will, still, when all is said and done.
"We'll fix it," Hope says, assuring him. "In the meantime, my dad's opened his home to you. It might be a little crowded this weekend, but there are a lot of rooms and one of them is yours - until you guys figure out what comes next."
Hope knows her father doesn't have a good reputation, but it's a place for them to say and she hopes they take her father up on it. Well, her. She asked Klaus. Klaus said, sure. As long as young werewolf and demigod drama don't come calling.
Also, he'd like a word with this Ben character. Ben can answer questions. )
[Jed nods, and while he is nervous to be under Klaus Mikaelson's roof, he assumes that he's not as terrible as everyone makes him out to be to Hope's friends.
He hopefully does want Hope to have friends.]
I was thinking about going to see your mom, too. I'm still interested in joining the pack.
[He's not defecting to Scott McCall's pack, even if Scott McCall is very cool.]
[Then he sighs, and rubs at his eyes. He feels like someone paused him for three months while everyone else got to skip ahead. But at least he'll get to catch up. He still has time.
("I only wish I could've been of help sooner," she says, but all's well feels like it ended well. Ben and Jed are free. They made it to their destination. Hope sees double dates in their future. Something she wouldn't have been thinking about before Josie. Apparently, she likes people now. Or, her people. )
You didn't know. And we're here, now. Thank you for your hospitality. We won't be in your way.
("They're all nice, especially when it comes to my friends." she says. They behave themselves for her. They trust her. Even if she makes dumb girl moves, sacrificing hero moves, or if she loses it completely. She's never looking to do that again. )

( She can facilitate a proper introduction. )

I'd appreciate that.

He hopes.]
And thanks in advance for the help.

[Ben would probably be fine. Jed definitely would not.
"They're not as bad as they sound," Josie chimes in. "Some of them are nice!"]

Thank them for us.

We're going to go find a room. But when you're done, want to get something to eat?
[Because even though he's not a werewolf anymore, he's still always hungry.]
no subject
( Which is new. Probably didn't help that he was a conduit. Or, they can find something themselves. Either way. )

[Josie smiles as she reaches for her phone.]
You guys get settled and we'll pick the place.
[And they will settle in for a comfortable evening with friends.]
