Yo, this is Stiles. I'm out saving the world or something, so leave me a message and I'll get back to you.

Being happy to see your dad totally makes up for being a big jerk. Is he okay? I mean, besides home sucking. It mustn't suck too much if you got to see him!

[ if home sucks … caroline doesn't want to think of mom or her dad, of how she'd simply twist a neck to see him one last time, to hear him say words she knows he'll never, ever let pass his lips. while she had been saddened to hear stiles had gone home, at least he knew someone she thought he viewed as important to him (as he'd mentioned his dad in his text, why wouldn't he be important?) was okay. take the positivity wherever you can, right? ]

yeah...
relatively, yeah.
definitely better than he was the last time i went home, but not by much.
is it weird to say i kind of prefer wonderland?

[ wonderland has people stiles likes, wonderland has death that isn't necessary permanent. wonderland has horrific days but a good balance of fun ones too. it's not home, there are no demons hanging over his shoulders here. ]

No. I prefer it, too.

[ even though she's in the lurch with regards to tyler's fate, she thinks she pretty much prefers to not know. here, she can become too occupied, with stiles, with everyone around her … she can be in everyone's business and not a single one of them really knows that those who call themselves her friends sometimes look upon her intruding with a curled lip. she's caroline forbes: fresh slate. and the selfish part of her likes it. she likes this thick cloak of denial. ]

If you want to talk about your dad anytime, you can tell me. My dad's … not really around anymore. But my mom's the sheriff, and I worry about her, in case time doesn't like stop when we leave home. I don't like to think about it. But maybe it wouldn't hurt sometimes to do so. The thinking thing. Instead of the ignoring ... thing.

wait--your mom's a sheriff?!?!
so's my dad!
I knew I liked you for a reason :P

[ /SPARKLE ]

My mom's not around either, but...
probably for a different reason.

[ she's dead, would be the easy thing to say there, but stiles isn't sure, eight years later, if he can bring himself to tell her that. it's easier to pretend it doesn't exist. ]

we can not ignore it together sometime.
(not all the time--I've pretty much got the method of ignoring your problems till they're gone patented)

Yeah! She has been since I could remember. Maybe your dad and my mom should go bowling and share really lame cases. Does your dad deal with a lot of animal attacks? I swear, it's like the only thing small towns have to deal with.

[ she wonders if stiles had been as resentful toward his father as she had toward her mother. work always came first. the badge was always more important than her. it had seemed to black and white, when she was younger, to hate her mother for simply doing her job. it's all she had — and caroline punished her for it. ]

Really? Because I might have to sue you for that patent. Delete this text, but, my friends say I'm a really great swimmer in this pool called Denial. You may have heard of it?

mountain lions.
or, well "mountain lions"
it's a real epidemic, apparently.
They can share old cop stories
just tell her to ask him about the army
he'll talk about it for days :P

[ oh caroline, you should not have said that. stiles immediately has to wonder if she's from a place like beacon hills--where the supernatural are so often abound? wild animal attacks in beacon hills meant werewolves. (or the occasional coyote.) ]

What a coincidence
I'm the same with a river. :P
