[lupusalpha]

[There's a long, quiet pause]

That means me.

[studmuffin]

[ Blowing out a breath. ]

It does. But if you know of a way we can keep an alpha ghoul out here and away from the City then I will follow your lead, you know I will.

[ Otherwise ... ]

[lupusalpha]

[His jaw sets. No, this means it's his responsibility. He's let enough of that fall to the wayside.]

It means me, Stiles.

[studmuffin]

I'm coming with you.

[ There is no way Stiles is letting Derek take Laura out alone, it isn't fair, it isn't right --.

If there roles were reversed Derek would, he knows it. ]

[lupusalpha]

[He huffs, because damn it-]

She's an alpha, Stiles.

[studmuffin]

So it's just another day ending in y. [ He rises to his feet, grabs the bat he's been keeping by the door and looks at Derek. ] Got it.

[lupusalpha]

[He knows he should say no.

But Stiles has probably had enough of that. Scott cut them both out of the deliberation a while ago. It wasn't fair, and now this wasn't fair.

So he just nods]

Don't get between her and me, do you understand?

[studmuffin]

That was Werewolf 101, dude. Where you been?

[ He's sarcastic but it's rounded off, sad for Derek more than anything and put out simply because this is how they deal. ]

[lupusalpha]

[He nudges him out the door]

We have to keep this clear.

[studmuffin]

Okay.

[ For once he's actually listening. This is not a game and he wouldn't wish this kind of agony on Derek. It isn't fair. ]

[lupusalpha]

I need you to keep - you herd her if she runs, but be careful, she's strong and fast and there's only me, all right?

[No Allison to shoot, no Scott to pounce]

[studmuffin]

[ He thinks enviously of Deaton's supply of mountain ash for a moment but he nods, follows Derek through the forest. ]

I got it.
