So. Hi. Again. Uh, this is Scott...again.

[one day he will learn how to be cool. one day.]

I know this message will probably seem weird to a lot of people here, but...

[a shrug. it's something he knows he should've offered months ago. back when he'd first come back to cadelle with a new found appreciation for just what he is.]

The full moon was just over a week ago, and I know that it's something that probably doesn't matter to most of you. But for some of us here, it's kind of a big deal.

[to put it mildly]

Getting through a full moon is a lot easier when you have a distraction. I've got my friends here. My pack. [and if his smile happens to get a lot softer as he mentions them? well, he doesn't regret it at all. they're his family.] We've got each others backs if we need it. Which kind of brings me to the whole point of this message.

[finally.]

If there's anyone out there who needs a hand during the next full moon, we're here. [yeah, sorry gang. you don't get a say in this.] Whether you need someone to run with, or just someone to talk to for the night, let me know. You don't need to go through it alone.

[and that's it. or at least, that would be it if scott wasn't hit with a sudden realization--]

Werewolves. I'm talking about werewolves. Sorry.

[smoothest mf in the city. now he's really going to hang up. sorry again, cadelle.]

Um, when did I sign up for this?

[not like he wouldn't help people, but still]

I'm not doing the running.

When you decided to be my best friend?

[not how it works, scott]

Don't worry about the running. You're in charge of movies and talking.

Did you say...werewolves?

yeah. but we all have control so there's nothing to worry about. we won't hurt anyone.

No, no. I just haven't ever met a werewolf before.

oh. well from what ive been told we dont exist in most places out there.
i didnt even know they were real till a couple of years ago and my town used to be full of them.

What's it like being a werewolf? Is that okay to ask?

no thats fine. i dont mind talking about it here.

[back home, well...people might know about them now, but he really doesn't go out of his way to talk about them.]

im kind of used to it now so its normal to me. but at the start its weird. you can hear and smell everything and it can be difficult to control your urges if you dont have something to anchor yourself to.
but once you get used to it it gets better. especially if you have a pack.

I haven't run into any other werewolves. Have you?

[She's curious, and she wouldn't mind hanging out with some new wolfy friends.]

Not yet. But if there is someone out there, hopefully they'll hear this.

[because they both know how difficult it can be to go at it alone.]

[Yes, they do.]

Do you think they'll be different from us? I mean ... are all werewolves going to work the same way?

When I first got bitten, Stiles did a whole bunch of research on werewolves, and a lot of it was wrong. Maybe some of it's right for wolves from other worlds?

[She gives a small shrug.]

Guess we'll have to find one and ask.

If there aren't any, then I may have just outed us to the city for no reason.

[read: are you mad about that?]

I don't think anyone here will care.

[so that would be a no.]

Most of the people I told have been pretty chill about it.

Probably not. But I should've given you a choice first.

[even though he technically hasn't outed anyone other than himself yet. but semantics.]

Who else knows? I know Kimberly does, but...?

That does sound like it would be tough to adjust to. I'm sure having a pack helps a lot.

[There aren't a lot, but there a few.]

Thea. Mick, the guy who runs CriminALES? Baby and Sally. Not a lot, but more than no one. People have seemed less crazy about it here.

[he's giving you that look, Scott. The one where he reminds you why he is the one who makes the plans in this friendship, alpha or not]

You know, it sounds to me like you're trying to set me up on dates now.

[there's a moment where he has to remind himself that stiles doesn't know about him and lydia yet. so vehemently denying that he'd even consider setting him up on dates probably isn't the best reaction to have.]

I'm just playing to everybody's strengths. You're a lot better at making people feel comfortable than the rest of us.

yeah definitely. as long as its one you choose

I...don't think I know most of them.

[baby being the only one he's ever spoken to.]

They're all friends of yours?

That makes sense. Did you pick yours?

Yeah. Mostly.

[Thea and Baby definitely. Mick is more of an acquaintance and keeper of the SuperBooze, and Sally she just met but she brought up werewolves first.]

I didn't tell them about you, just me.

[Except for Thea. But that's because they were talking about Peter related things.]

[actually, Lydia already spilled the beans on that one, and how they dated and then broke up as friends.

Now Scott and Malia, on the other hand, he is clueless about.]

Yeah, if I know them.

You know, we're all going to be in the same place there. We'll all get to know each other, and you can step in to make sure Derek doesn't scare them off.

[is he joking? who knows.]

not exactly. we kind of all picked each other
my pack are my friends

You know that I don't mind, right? I trust you.

[not that it's really all that big of a reveal. he trusts (almost) all of his pack, and that goes double for those he's closest to. malia has been in the second group for a long time now.]

[laughing]

So you're expecting miracles now?

That's so nice.

I'm just trying to be optimistic.

[while literally throwing stiles to the wolves. scott is the best friend.]

[She nods because she does know that, and it's nice to hear, even if she already knows it. But at the same time, it still doesn't feel like her secret to tell.]

Yeah, I know. It just hasn't come up.

Does Derek know you're giving me his leash?

[that smirk shouldn't be as evil as it is]

Please don't put it like that in front of him.

[...that's not a no.]

Fine. But when he complains about ripping my throat out, I'm going to point out that this was your idea and he better obey his alpha.
