[theshabbiestofmen]

In my room. I'll be there soon. Are you okay?

text, auggielocked;

[altercate]

Fine.
I need to talk to you.
When you're free.

action;

[theshabbiestofmen]

I'll be there soon.

[And he is, looking a little worse for the wear-- pale, worried, his scars standing out sharply on his face.]

Derek?

action;

[altercate]

[ yo remus sorry about ruining your day with werewolf drama, welcome to teen wolf. ]

We should talk. Something happened.

[ that always heralds good news, right. ]

action;

[theshabbiestofmen]

What is it?

action;

[altercate]

It has to do with the pack. Our pack.

[ like derek's reminding himself, choosing those words specifically. ]

Lydia was lying about what happens when we go home. Back to our world.

action;

[theshabbiestofmen]

Meaning what, exactly?

[He meets Derek's eyes nervously.]

Are you all all right?

action;

[altercate]

It's complicated.

[ it's such a tangled up thing, and derek's kneejerk reaction was to cut her out, but even he isn't sure-- ]

I'm fine. But we're keeping our distance from Lydia right now, until I figure out how to deal with this.

[ yeah because derek is absolutely coming up with a plan except for the fact that he isn't ]

action;

[theshabbiestofmen]

Sorry, deal with what, exactly? And why are we keeping our distance, what's wrong?

action;

[altercate]

She lied. To me and to the pack.

[ it's..difficult to explain to remus. remus isn't from beacon hills, won't go home with them. but he's pack. this affects him too. ]

Her whole involvement was built on that lie.

action;

[theshabbiestofmen]

What sort of lie? Look, can you tell me what's going on?

action;

[altercate]

[ remus if you only knew how many times scott asked that same question and got nothing ]

She told us when she came here that she was part of the pack. That she was...farther along in time than the rest of us.

[ it sounds ridiculous. derek doesn't even with this whole thing. ]

That wasn't true.

action;

[theshabbiestofmen]

Perhaps she just wanted to join. Not to condone lying, but-- it's nice to be part of something.

action;

[altercate]

That's not what she wanted.

[ but there is literally no way in hell that derek is going to explain what happened with peter. ]

action;

[theshabbiestofmen]

How do you know?

action;

[altercate]

She used us.

[ us, rather than me. it's easier for derek to say that. ]

That's not what pack is supposed to be.

action;

[theshabbiestofmen]

[A beat. A little helplessly:]

I don't understand. I just-- how do you know? I mean, did she say it outright, or--?

action;

[altercate]

Do you trust me?

[ because that always goes so well ]

action;

[theshabbiestofmen]

You know I do.

action;

[altercate]

Then trust me with this.

[ there should be explanations, but derek just. derek can't. he can't. ]
