[It's quicker than a bolt of lightning, the one single blink at 'how do you your parents feel' that trips Stiles up for just a fraction of a fraction of a second, ears ringing with a question he thinks he has to answer with a stuttering bringing up of the fact his mother's been dead for quite a few years now. But then the world stops sitting in slow-mo and he realizes what Derek means, their collective parents and he lets out a breathy little laugh and forces a smile as he breezes on by. Crisis averted.
He takes a napkin, using it to wipe his mouth and give himself a precious few more seconds to swallow and more importantly - think of the best way to tackle his answer. He doesn't know who Isaac is which means he doesn't know of any of his betas, and Stiles realizes the weight behind that and whether it may be better or worse to crack that nut while they can. Erica and Boyd are still... pretty fresh wounds. Maybe it's better to avoid it.
With a clearing of his throat and a bop of his fist against his chest to clear his airways, he decides to take off on the other foot and answer the more immediate questions. And state a few more blanket facts in regards to... well, the Argents. Is he going to have to have a board for this place and a board to try and figure out what to or not to tell Derek? Jeez.]
Still sort of. Dealing with how they feel but like, Scott's mom didn't talk to him for days. I guess she was processing... It is kinda a lot to process? For my dad I think, well... I think it just clicked a lot of things into place. For better or worse.
[So many unsolved cases.]
Not many Argents left to be up for murder. Lot went down. I can fill you in but if you can believe it, there's really only Allison's dad still around. And he's actually helped us?
