[ This is not the Stiles you are looking for.

Of course, he won't seem any different to anyone. Unless you can smell the wolf on him because this Stiles? Best beta this side of Beacon Hills and if you have anything to say about that he'll fight you on it. So he doesn't quite have his memories of this place - follows his nose more often than not because he can smell paths he's walked before.

He's exploring. He won't be here tomorrow. (He trusts Derek, and Derek says so.) He might as well figure this place out from scratch first. ]

( ooc: Stiles has been hit with a road not taken this weekend - which means he was the one Peter bit in episode one, not Scott, and is therefore part of Derek's pack and a little bit different to the City Stiles. Feel free to run into him around the City, or to have your animals flip out around him etc. )

[When Stiles comes near the Garage, following an old scent, he may see a pair of brown eyes watching him from a nearby bench. She came out for a morning walk before Doctor Chase woke up, all bundled up in a dress and scarf and hat, her hair up in ribbons.

She smells like a human.

And maybe there's a slightly acrid scent of something else beneath it, something yet unhatched]

[studmuffin]

Hi.

[ Small children are his weakness. Why else would he have latched on to Scott so quickly. But he notices the scent, doesn't wrinkle his nose. ]

You okay?

[One path he's walked leads to the hospital, and clinic is in session.]

[eggsac]

Hello.

[Her eyes are a little wide]

What's your name?

[studmuffin]

Stiles.

[ He tries to look as unthreatening as possible. ] How about you?

[studmuffin]

[ He gets it, he does. Human him is probably here a lot. Hyperactivity. Getting in the way of danger. He doesn't like how hospitals smell though, so he's breathing shallowly as he explores. ]

[eggsac]

[She makes her way towards him, step by step. All her clothes look expensive, they smell new.]

My name is Satya Daphne.

[studmuffin]

[ Maybe she's Lydia's lovechild. ]

That's a nice name. Where are you from? [ Crouching. Because it's nice to get on the kids level. ]

[eggsac]

Namibia.

[She looks at him, at his hair, at his clothes]

Are you American?

[studmuffin]

That's Africa, right?

[ Nodding. ] Yep, I am.

[eggsac]

Yes.

But I'm an American citizen. I've been to Baltimore.

[She keeps looking at him]

Are you looking for something, Mister?

[studmuffin]

I'm just exploring.

[ Grinning slightly. ] I'm new here.

[eggsac]

I'm new, too.

[studmuffin]

Found anything cool yet?

[eggsac]

There are a lot of cars in there.

[She points back to the garage]

[studmuffin]

You like cars?

[eggsac]

Yes, I do!

[studmuffin]

They're pretty neat, but I drive a jeep.

[eggsac]

Papa drives a jeep, too.

[studmuffin]

They're reliable.

[ Glancing at the garage. ] Which one is your favourite?

[eggsac]

There's a red one.

[She beams. That's as much as she remembers.]

Do you want to go in? I have a key.

[studmuffin]

Sure.

[ Maybe he shouldn't but he can't help but want to entertain her. ] So is red your favourite colour?

[eggsac]

[She reaches up for his hand]

In cars.

[studmuffin]

[ Hand holding he can do, he's an awesome handholder. ]

So when it's not a car what's your favourite colour?

[eggsac]

[She leads him to the door and hands him the key]

I like blue. See my hair ribbons?
