[So Lydia disappeared for a day, and now she's back.]

Well. That happened.

Private to Scott.
You left out some pretty important stuff. [And Lydia is Displeased About That.]

Private to Stiles.
So things happened. I want to talk to you about them. [Mainly the fact that she held him underwater while he died of hypothermia and she needs to be told that it's okay that she did that to him. She knows it was necessary, but.]

Private to Derek.
I want to talk to you. About Peter.

That's it, we're setting up a daily texting regime.

[ But. ] Where are you? I'll come meet you.

[lefthandedgenius]

[So Lydia is clearly upset, but not freaking out.]
I'm at the apartment. I left the City and I don't think anybody noticed.
[That's not why she's upset, though.]

[studmuffin]

That's why we're going down the daily texting route. That way I can make sure nobody's disappeared from the City without walking to the Hall of the Missing every day.

I'll be down in twenty. Do you need anything?

[lefthandedgenius]

Just to talk. I'll figure it out when you get here.

[studmuffin]

Got it. Don't go anywhere.

[ And he disconnects. Twenty minutes later and Stiles is knocking at her door, wondering what it is that could get Lydia Martin so upset. ]

[affectioning]

What are you talking about?

[ She went home. And came back. He's not surprised and it's Scott McCall stating the obvious even inside his head. Also not surprising. But, he didn't remember her missing. She was there Friday night. He worked Saturday. ]

[lefthandedgenius]

The darkness in your heart? In Stiles' and Allison's?

[affectioning]

You're all caught up. [ Again, he states the obvious. He doesn't have a lot of feelings about this. Mostly, he left out the consequences because they didn't matter. It was a necessary evil. He hasn't even lived with it for three days. He doesn't feel or look any different. Why was he going to worry her or anyone for that matter? ] I left it out because you didn't need to know.

[lefthandedgenius]

[Whoa, Scott. Lydia's expression is thunderous.]

I'm one of the people who accepted the responsibility for helping you and even if the price isn't mine to pay, I deserved to know the consequences. Did you think you couldn't trust me with it? Did you think I couldn't handle it?

[affectioning]

I think you didn't need to know. You know I know what you can handle. [ And that is supposed to be a lot more complimentary but it just comes out wrong. ] Because, you'd look at me like you are now. It doesn't change anything. We had to do it. It was a necessary evil. [ How doesn't she get that? ] I'm not going around talking about it. [ With anyone. ] It wasn't personal.

[lupusalpha]

What about Peter?

[lefthandedgenius]

Do you know anything about what happened when he bit me?

[lupusalpha]

In theory, or in practice?

[lefthandedgenius]

Either. Both. Do you know if he knew this would happen?

[lupusalpha]

He's older than I am. He knew more than I did.

[phonetical]

What happened?

[lefthandedgenius]

I live in interesting times?

To be honest a lot of it has to do with other people's secrets so I can't go into too much detail. I went back home and came back and there's a lot of information to process.

[phonetical]

Oh. I'm sorry for asking.

Is there anything I can do? I mean, without you telling me anything.

[lefthandedgenius]

Don't be sorry for asking.

Well, we should hang out soon, because normal things would really be good.

[phonetical]

I did get a cat after all. How much do you know about cat toys because I don't think the cat should use my boyfriend as a constant thing to bat around.

What happened?

[ DID HE MISS SOMETHING? WHAT'S GOING ON. DANGER??? ]

[lefthandedgenius]

[Hello, who is this exceedingly handsome older guy on her network device? Did Christmas come early?]

Um. I don't think I know you? I'm okay. There's a lot going on where I'm from, is all.

[hischair]

You said, "Well, that happened" on the broadcast. Sounded like you were ... [ Jim shrugs after tailing off. How embarrassing, being caught trying to help her out. ] If you're alright, I'm sorry I bothered you.

[lefthandedgenius]

[Lydia can't help but grin.]

I'm not sorry. [O HAI, JIM.] You're not bothering me. My universe is a little full of unexplainable crazy of the 'more things on Heaven and Earth, Horatio' caliber, is all.

I'm Lydia. And my gallant rescuer is...?

[hischair]

Jim Kirk. [ How is he supposed to resist adding, ] Captain Kirk.

[ She definitely prompts a warmer smile. ]

I've seen you before, at Ginny's party. You were talking to my friend Spock.
