inexplicit spoilers for 4.10

[burninhale]

You know how it is. You get older, you start forgetting things — look, if life gives you lemons, then you ... kill everyone, burn the lemon orchard down, and start over. I'm just doing the best with what I've been given.

And. We're not "murder buddies." We hang out in a sewer, we're not having movie nights. Please. Sometimes I think you don't take my very tragic backstory that I repeat at literally every opportunity seriously.

[What but he likes being Scott, it really works for him except for how people seem to keep dying. :c]

Are you seriously giving me alpha advice right now?

[burninhale]

More like an objective observation. By now, Stiles has to have said something similar, just in a higher pitched voice and with bizarre gestures.

[semifreakingnormal]

You want to kill me. I think that makes you the opposite of objective.

[burninhale]

Oh, so you feel like you're doing a good job, then?

So did my sister. And she was a lot smarter than you.

[semifreakingnormal]

I have no idea what I'm doing, but as long as I don't start going around killing whoever gets in my way, I'm okay with that. I can figure it out, my way.

[burninhale]

Only one person needs to die, Scott, I'm just realistic enough to know a whole lot more will. You're in the same situation, on the other side.

Not to dismiss Kate. But Chris will have his way there, I'm sure.

[semifreakingnormal]

So if you kill me, you'll leave everyone else alone, is that what you're saying?

[For once, hitting the mute button on dat optimism.]

[burninhale]

Of course not. They won't stand around and let it happen.

[semifreakingnormal]

Then what makes you think you can do it?

[burninhale]

[ Instead of an answer, how about an infuriating and secretive smile-shrug combination. Yeah, how about that. ]

I can't really give you my comic book supervillain monologue now, Scott.

[semifreakingnormal]

[No Peter those are the worst!!]

You know, it probably wouldn't kill you to be decent every now and then.

[burninhale]

[ Those tendencies have been getting worse over time. He did the "crushes protagonist in fist" gesture. The supervillainitis is now inoperable. ]

It might kill you, though. Funny how that works.

[semifreakingnormal]

[If only it was terminal.]

I'm not going to let you do it.

[burninhale]

[ It probably will be, by the end of the season! ]

I didn't expect you to put your head down on the chopping block, no.

[semifreakingnormal]

[ONE NEVER KNOWS WITH JEFF DAVIS........]

This whole time, you've just been wasting your second chance.

[burninhale]

It was your choice to think of it that way. I never did. You didn't kill me, and so here I am, doing what I do, surprising absolutely no one. Except you.

[semifreakingnormal]

Not everyone gets your chance!

[voluntaryapnea]

You're severely right about that.

[burninhale]

Thanks. Severely.

[voluntaryapnea]

Scott and Kira might have a problem killing you. They're good people. We both know I don't have that issue if it comes down to it.

Fair warning.

[burninhale]

And unnecessary — in so many ways — but thanks again.

It's interesting, though. To see where you get it from.

[voluntaryapnea]

Being able to detect evil runs in the family. What can I say?

[burninhale]

I was thinking more of the way he was going to shoot me in the head, and the only reason he didn't was because he was afraid he wouldn't be able to take care of you.

Really touching stuff.

[voluntaryapnea]

We take care of each other. It's what family is supposed to do.

[burninhale]

Sure.

He probably should've taken the shot, though.
