can i plead the fifth to preserve my dignity?

i'll be there soon. i know you can take care of yourself. just doing the cliche teenager thing.

text|

[resurgent]

You can but I might have to kill you for it. I'm going to be alone with one of them, I'd like to know which one of them wants me alive. [ but to be fair, Stiles is a trick pony in that mix, or at least he used to be. ]

What, avoiding quality advice? [ not that she's planning on hanging out in the gardens, anyway. ]

text|

[entrapments]

does the other one want you dead? because that's a pretty intense implication, just saying.

and i am exceptionally gifted at not following advice. i get the feeling i'm not the only one.

text|

[resurgent]

Maybe. I wouldn't blame them if they all did.

I follow advice when it's accurate and when I think I'm better off staying put. My talents could be put to better use on the go. [ while there's going to get to. ] I think we have that belief in common too.

[entrapments]

what exactly are those talents, by the way? i think i've been a pretty good sport about the whole- running around with knives thing, but i mean, i'm only human. curiosity has to win out sometime.

[resurgent]

Promise not to freak out?

text|

[entrapments]

promise.

[resurgent]

You already know I don't carry the knives for a fashion statement.

[ and while she can't incriminate her entire family, she has to figure a way to say it. ]

Or a bow, or my crossbow. [ when they're functioning. ] In ten words or less? My talents apply to taking down the bad guys. I provide good back-up. [ she's hoping that's all this is. ]

you hunt werewolves, is what you're saying. right?

text|

[resurgent]

No, I hunt creatures that kill. [ sorry to say, Gerard and Kate, but she doesn't feel that those are synonyms right now. ] I never said werewolves. [ she's balancing on a tight rope trying not to blur that line again. ]

[entrapments]

including humans?

text|

[resurgent]

[ she will pinpoint who you have been chatting with, Hayley! B( ]

I've only known three humans that needed to be stopped and I wasn't the one to do it. [ funny that, how two out of three were related to her. and she can't even say if one of them is dead or not. ] I've also never taken a life, so I don't know what I'd do if I had to choose.

text|

[entrapments]

[ there's a lag before her next reply comes, because in truth- Hayley's had a pretty decent idea of what to expect, but the important thing, the thing that mattered, was gauging reply. ]

ok. just asking.

[resurgent]

Are things going to be weird between us now?

I'm sorry, if they are. I didn't want to lie to you.

text|

[entrapments]

they aren't.
tbh, and as underhanded as this'll sound? i was waiting to see if you'd lie to me.

text| wow this sure is an early tag, amirite?

[resurgent]

I guess now I know who you've been talking to.

[ brutally honest, Allison, and you should know better than anyone that you have to give trust to get trust and even then-- god, she's so stupid. confiding in Hayley hadn't been the best idea (her father wouldn't approve) but at least now she knows it wouldn't have mattered. she knew already. maybe she should go screaming down the hall that certain people are werewolves. ] Why would I lie to you?

[ she knows why people lie. it's just- maybe she hadn't been one-hundred percent honest but that's not something you say right off the bat, meeting someone. but she hadn't lied either. hadn't given that kind of impression. ]
