I just don't like the idea that I don't know what's happened I know my dad's keeping some of it from me, but I can't tell if it's important and I don't know if something important did happen if scott or isaac would tell me and after the way stiles was when he came back?
[ it's not like she could ask him. not like she could force him to relive that. it makes her guilty even thinking about pushing him for answers. ]
okay.
[ and then that next part comes, and allison has to read it twice or so before it actually sinks in. because despite what all they might have gone through, been through, or dealt with - seeing it in text is something different.
it's a few moments later that she can even think up a response to that, and even after she's sent it it has her a little nervous. too much? not enough? ]
I trust you too, you know. and that's part of the reason why I know this will work he'll understand
It does feel a lot like we aren't getting the whole picture out of them. Stiles, Isaac, and Scott have all told me a lot of what's happened, but sometimes I do get that feeling. Especially with the way Stiles came back. He's only just now doing better, and it's hit or miss.
[ He certainly hasn't tried pushing for answers. Not when Stiles spent weeks waking up screaming, when he barely got any sleep at all.
But Derek has to take a moment to consider what he's admitted. After everything they've been through, they've gotten to this point with one another. Originally, he could hardly have cared to interact with Allison. Did he keep an eye out for her? Yes. He's not heartless, despite his antagonistic relationship with the Argents.
But he didn't expect friendship. He didn't expect to think of her as pack, as family. ]
Something will come of it, and for once I'm not worried about it being a negative thing. We'll make it work, same way we found a way to work.
I'm worried about them Stiles especially, even if he is getting better but Scott isn't usually one for secrets and Isaac would normally tell me but it's my gut. something's not right and I don't think I'm going to know until one of us goes back
you'd tell me, wouldn't you? even if it was really really awful
[ she doesn't blame him when it comes to stiles. just seeing him like that had reminded her too much of christmas, of the hollow look he'd had when he looked at her, at derek. it scares her a little, to think that what happens could push any of them to that point, but she can't say she's surprised.
allison is still smiling, though. still feeling that slight tightness in her chest. something warm, something good, something she lacked a little too much back home.
it's something she wouldn't give up for the world. ]
exactly but I'm gonna need to go I'll talk to you later when I talk to me dad
I am, too. And I'm pretty sure they're doing it to try and keep us from worrying, but it's having the reverse effect.
In the hopes that you'd somehow remember, if you went back. That Wonderland would let you hold onto whatever warning I could give you, and you could do something about it.
[ There's no question as to whether or not Allison would tell him or not: he trusts her enough, has talked to her frequently enough about what Wonderland means for them, that she would tell him. Especially after how hard Christmas had hit them, how Stiles looked and still acts now after coming back to Wonderland, and how they've been working to keep anything like it happening again.
They're pack. They're family.
And that's what matters here, that trust and the fact they can rely on one another. ]
Yeah, I need to do some rounds. Talk to you later, and don't worry. We'll find him.
