WHO: STILES STILINSKI, LYDIA MARTIN, DEREK HALE, and NICK BURKHARDT WHERE: Residence #023, Police Station WHEN: Week of July 15 WHAT: Stiles and Lydia being a detective team (again). WARNINGS: Stalking
Were-goat, were-lion, were-everything. I'm pretty sure one of them is just an alien. [ Said to Stiles, then he's looking to Lydia with an easy confirmation. ] Just the ones I've seen. But I don't fight all of them— just the ones who commit crimes.
[ Sometimes sort of a cop?? His brow furrows, thoughtful, but his tone implies disbelief. ] You only have werewolves?
[ Pointedly not looking at Lydia. Still no idea what she is, but he's 99% sure it'’s not vanilla human. ]
My ex-boyfriend turned into a murderous, amnesiac lizard for a while.
[ Draws the attention off both of them!! She's not coming out with the banshee thing, but she also doesn't want Nick digging at Stiles' experience with being possessed. While she's gotten no confirmation that he's fragile about the whole thing, she has her suspicions. Like the fact that this is one of the first times they've even spoken on the subject, and it's clearly intended to be passed off quickly.
She meets Nick's gaze when she says it, a clear, hard dismissal of any interest he might have in why she tracked him down into that alley. She knows he's trying to figure it out, and she's not fucking telling. Not for now, anyway. ]
[ The deflection doesn't go unnoticed, if only because he's used to conducting actual interrogations. The thing is that it's a very, very good deflection, so he quits digging. ]
And you're getting on my case because my werewolves eat people. [ What the hell, guys. His expression is appropriately disbelieving; he may be surrounded by weird shit, but he still reserves the right to call it weird. ]
Whatever, it doesn't matter. I'm not going to hurt Derek. [ Your loyalty to that asshole is both cute and strange, p.s., but he's not going to comment. ] So we're good, right? You guys can quit playing Nancy Drew.
[ Is the implication there that Lydia's in charge? Absolutely. ]

[ he shrugs, not wanting to talk about malia. ]
And uh, I was possessed by a Japanese trickster demon for a while.
[ casually redirecting attention off lydia, even though he doesn't wanna talk about the nogitsune, either. ]
