[ Wait, that's not right. Stiles sighs heavily where he's leaning against his bed and frowns down at his device. It's kind of hard to type with his left hand - clearly he did not think this amazing plan through. He opts to switch to audio but misses, hits the video feed instead. ]

Fuck. [ He frowns down at his probably less than captive audience with a tired sigh. ] Oh, whatever. [ Swinging the device to show his right side - arm in a cast and sling. Awesome. ] Guys, guys. Don't ever, ever try to take a short cut in a blizzard. Just don't.

[ He's managed to survive a lot of things lately, he should have realised something dumb was about to happen. Werewolves, kanimas, lunatics who beat the shit out of people? Yeah he can do that. What he can't survive is slipping and falling on to his arm. He's such a superhero. ]

Who wants to feed me good drugs and sign my cast?

Where you're all youthful?

[studmuffin]

We're babes.

[ A beat. ] I moved out of the forest.

[brobeforehos]

The forest's probably not the best or safest place in the case of zombie apocalypses and things. You...don't have roommates anymore, I gather?

[studmuffin]

No.

[ ... ] They were making me crazy. So I left.

[brobeforehos]

...ouch. I'm sorry to hear that.

[studmuffin]

It's no big.

[brobeforehos]

From my personal exprience brushing these things off, I know that when people say it's no big deal, or they're fine, they lie.

[studmuffin]

Okay, so it's a big big. [ Sighing. ] I just don't really want to deal with it. At all. So we're pretending it isn't.

[brobeforehos]

That's healthy. You can talk to me, you know.

private;

[studmuffin]

It's not just my secrets I'd be spilling, so m'gonna have to pass.

[ Because he can't explain it to anyone without the whole shebang. ]

private;

[brobeforehos]

Fair enough, Stiles.

private;

[studmuffin]

It's not because I don't trust you.

private;

[brobeforehos]

Do you?

private;

[studmuffin]

Yeah. I do.

private;

[brobeforehos]

...thanks.

private;

[studmuffin]

Yeah.

But like I said, not my secret to give up, s'kinda why I can't.

private;

[brobeforehos]

Okay, okay. Fair enough.

One question, though.

private;

[studmuffin]

Sure, shoot.

private;

[brobeforehos]

Was it because your friend behaved like an asshole? [And she uses the term friend loosely.]

private;

[studmuffin]

He had a lot to do with it, yeah.

private;

[brobeforehos]

Hmm. [It's not like she knows a lot about the situation to give a good opinion, but from what he'd told her about Derek before, the whole threats and such...Well. She frowns.]

Either he apologizes or you've done the right thing.

private;

[studmuffin]

He's not going to apologise.

[ That much he's certain about. Derek doesn't say sorry, waiting for it might suffocate him. ]

private;

[brobeforehos]

Then it's his loss.

private;

[studmuffin]

Yeah. [ Except he doesn't sound like he thinks so. ]
