I can explain.

It's more if I want to or not.

It should be obvious. Hi, my name is Allison Argent, my mom committed suicide because she got bitten by a werewolf, my grandfather manipulated me into helping him. I'm a werewolf hunter. My boyfriend... If we're even still dating... is a werewolf.

Then it goes on to get more complicated, and I just... An apology doesn't cover it. It really doesn't.

But I owe everyone an apology.

I really owe everyone an apology.

But I'm not sure where to start.

So hi, my name is Allison Argent.

[ He shrugs unhelpfully, because he's pretty sure the pack will never let her into the fold now. But Scott, Scott's different. ]

He loves you, I think he'll get over it.

[hisusername]

I love him, too. [And she does. She's so sure of it. That's what makes everything about this so hard. But Scott's never harmed anyone. And she can look past his werewolfyness. It's worth it.]

I just hope he doesn't harbor this intense... grudge against me that rears up when we don't need it.

[studmuffin]

Scott's not really the grudge bearing type. He's kind of too good inside to ever do that.

[hisusername]

I know he isn't. It's stupid to think that.

[studmuffin]

It's been a tough couple of weeks, you're going to be weirded out no matter what.

[hisusername]

Good point.
I don't think I'll ever not be weirded out in some way around here.
Kinda liked it better when I just thought it was a mountain lion attacking people...

[studmuffin]

Yeah, I mean ignorance is supposed to be bliss, right? I bet Danny's just fine. He probably thinks life is awesome.

[hisusername]

Yeah, lucky Danny. He has no idea his best friend is a werewolf now, let alone was a Kanima.

At least we can protect ourselves, I guess... Though it's opening us up to more and more pain.

[studmuffin]

I couldn't not know what Scott is. I mean, I figured it out within the first day.

Hey, pain is a thing around here.

[hisusername]

Wow. You're really smart, you know that? [She's honestly impressed. Like, really impressed.]

There was a lot less pain in San Francisco.

[studmuffin]

Not really. [ A hint of embarrassment because he doesn't take compliments well. ]

You ever think of going back?

[hisusername]

Yeah? Well, you are.

All the time. I miss my friends there, sometimes. But I couldn't leave. At this point, it'd just be cowardly. You need my help here. And I couldn't abandon Scott.

bring Allison to Poly now, kthanx

[studmuffin]

Yeah.

[ The desire to just run isn't foreign to Stiles either. But he couldn't leave his dad. Or Scott. ]

Soon soon soon! Still settling <3

[hisusername]

Don't worry. You're stuck with me, for better or for worse. All of you.

okay! I will wait. But she's amaziiiiiiiing.

[studmuffin]

[ A grin. ]

Well, I think I'd rather be stuck with you than half the people we know.

<3 Thanks darling!

[hisusername]

Got a point there. [She smiles.] That definately says something. Thanks, Stiles.

[studmuffin]

Hey, don't sweat it.

[hisusername]

I'll try not to. I promise.

[studmuffin]

So what's the plan for the future now?

[hisusername]

Talk to Scott. Salvage my relationship with him. Mourn my mother. And, I guess, talk to my dad.

[studmuffin]

[ Sympathetically. ]

I know it's hard, but it's worth it.

[hisusername]

Thanks.
I think it is, too. Or, at least, will be.

[studmuffin]

Just keep swimming. [ Because of course he is exactly the type of boy to quote Finding Nemo. ]

[hisusername]

[She laughs a little.] Exactly.

[studmuffin]

I like to hold on to the hope that we've hit rock bottom and it can't possibly end up getting any lamer.
