fairly local.

‘ so you don’t wake up tomorrow morning feeling like total hell. ’

seeing her face in a crowd had grown to be fairly normal, but hearing her speak actual words ? that was new. ‘ allison ? ’ he doesn’t hesitate to call out. 

stiles pauses his drumming on the counter in favour of lifting his shoulders in a shrug. ‘ i don’t know how odd that is ‘cause i don’t know what erik and christine are from. ’

stiles nods a few times as the other works it all out by himself. he takes a drink from his own glass before nodding once more. ‘ sounds like you’re drunk. maybe you should drink some water. ’

‘ there are probably a couple places in the area that have coffee that isn’t as bitter as normal. i’m stiles. ’

‘ oh -- shit, ’ stiles starts as he basically bodychecks a random girl on the sidewalk. the thought of speeding to his destination is ( poof ! ) gone from his mind and he’s turning back toward the girl, eyes scanning for any obvious injuries. ‘ i am so sorry, that was definitely on me. ’ finally, he offers his hand to help her up. ‘ are you okay ? ’

‘ i’m incredibly curious by nature. ’

‘ not a whole lot. mostly one brand of demon -- the oni -- and then some other bits and pieces about others. ’ the bits and pieces thanks to magnus who had actual experience with them. researching different types of demons was newer to him. ‘ like, every other supernatural being is more my speed. ’

‘ yeah, never heard of it. seems like i don’t want to, though. ’

‘ uhh.. could you be more exact than that, by any chance ? ’ those words are almost enough for him to process what she’s saying. it’s not that out of the box when a dead friend has come back to life, but he needs to hear more. 

‘ well, not just you. ’ it’s not really something he can defend when it’s true. isaac has made it possible for stiles to worry about him and be annoyed with him at the same time. it’s a punch to the gut to be reminded of the nogitsune. the words cause stiles’ brow to furrow and he blinks a few times in quick succession. have any of them been okay since then ? they’d all neglected to talk about it. isaac had done one better by moving. ‘ you had scott. why did you leave ? ’

‘ you can never be too sure with your track record, ’ stiles says, arms folded. ‘ that would probably make you eichen’s very first success story. ’
