Yeahhhh I'm not buying any of this.
no subject
About half a second after Stiles's remark, directed at Lydia: ] I know he's a werewolf.
[ He doesn't know he's a werewolf. Nick knows Derek looks like Monroe, but Monroe laughed in his face when he called him a werewolf, so who knows. He's just banking on the idea that it's a more recognizable term than blutbad and not totally off the mark. The delivery's short and annoyed. ]
no subject
Lydia stops, whipping her head towards him, scrutinizing and confrontational all at once. ]
And what are you planning to do about it?
no subject
[ stiles holds up his hands. like, let's not provoke the guy, here. ]
Listen, Nick, we're sorry we thought you were a serial killer.
[ or, stiles is, because, you know, there's the whole "employed by the police department at which nick works due to nick's assistance" thing that's kinda sweetened him to the guy. ]
But you don't hunt werewolves, right? Say that's not a thing that you do.
no subject
I don't hunt werewolves.
[ Followed by a conspicuous pause. Not necessarily because it's untrue; it is, though that's mostly because of semantics. Just for the sake of honesty: ] They don't even exist where I'm from.
no subject
[ Like bitch how do you know that for sure. Except for being a zombie and a hunter probably helps. ~Whatever.~ ]
no subject
[ because if they've fallen for the oldest trick in the book, of confirming a risky guess, then he's gonna... be really mad, ok. ]
no subject
[ Wolf face?? Eyes? ] Sideburns?
[ Embarrassed on Derek's behalf tbh. ] But it's fine, I honestly don't care. As long as he doesn't start eating people, I don't have any— [ Actually. He doubts they'd rat out their "mentor", but it's worth asking. ] He's clean, right?
that's it that's the tag
[ the actual fuck. ]
no subject
[ also kinda side-eying nick a little here because like seriously even peter hale didn't eat people and he was a rampaging murderer. ]
Are you sure you're not thinking of vampires? Or maybe cannibals. Werewolves are mostly the "uncontrollable mauling" kinda monsters.
no subject
Vampires don't exist. And a lot of Wesen are cannibals, but it isn't... like I said, we don't have werewolves. Not exactly.
[ Maybe he'll just loan them the journal, it'd be easier than explaining. Nick pauses, glancing between them, and his tone's entirely light at this point; not even annoyed. ]
We can do the history lesson later. The important thing here is that I'm not a serial killer.
no subject
[ Just sayin. You're still on trial. ]
Can we rewind to explaining what a Wesen is? That's German, right?
kills tagging order
Yeah. It means creature. [ He nods towards the book, though he stays on his side of the table, giving them space. ] Those are Wesen.
no subject
None of these are werewolves. Though that one kinda looks like a were-goat.
no subject
[ She still wants to rifle through it for banshee things desperately tbh. ]
no subject
[ 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. ]
no subject
[ 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. ]
no subject
[ 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. ]
no subject
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. ]
