[ferally]

Is he from the same time you are?

[ what a weird question ]

Oh. Yeah, I can do that.

[teenyoda]

I think so. Maybe a bit before me. Not like we had tea and chatted about the good old days.

[He nods, head leaning back against the side of the boat and trying not to look green.]

Good. Can you... I don't know, maybe go meet up with Lydia? You guys can keep an eye on each other until I get back. She's... not happy that Allison left.

[ferally]

Which means I know things that he doesn't yet. Things he might want to know. He won't hurt me.

[ see! she's learned how Peter Hale works. all good. ]

I would have met up with her already if I knew where to find her, and how to get there. [ a beat ] Why are you on a boat? [ another! ] How are you a wizard?

[teenyoda]

How about we just not wave that red flag in front of the alpha bull, huh?

[Peter Hale's a dick. End of story.]

Um, she's at Caer Glaem. If you're at the Station, there should be a fairy ring that can take you close enough that you're not having to take two weeks to get there. And I'm on a boat with my new friends that are jedi knights to go to a dwarf city for... You know. I don't really know what for. Metal working or something.

The wizard part's courtesy of the fairies. I can do magic now. Wooo...

[ferally]

I only will if I have to.

[ because leverage. shhh, that's not Hale-y at all. ]

You got on a boat without knowing why it was going where it was going?

[ stiles pls ]

Show me.

[teenyoda]

[Malia... don't make him spank you.]

I know where it was going. To the dwarf city.

[God, woman. Didn't you hear him?]

Show you... what? Magic? Ugh... but I'm--- ugh.

[ferally]

[ promises promises ]

I know. You said that. But you said you didn't know why.

[ h u f f! ]

"Ugh", what? Can you do magic, or not?

[teenyoda]

Doesn't matter why. They needed me to come, so I came.

[Hey, if she knew him at all, she'd know that made sense.]

I can, but... seasick. Me and boats are not a good mix. I haven't stopped throwing up since I set foot on this stupid thing. And it's been days.

[ferally]

Oh.

[ she frowns, and it's only the grossed out kind for a second before it's the sympathetic kind ]

I don't think I'd do good on water, either. [ w e l l ] All that rocking and dipping. Like when you take a waterbottle and tip it from side to side, and the water just- [ yes she's actually mimicking the motion, like this couldn't possibly make his predicament worse ] Yeah, I'd definitely get sick.

You should drink some flat soda.

[ ... what? it works for her when she gets a tummy ache ]

[teenyoda]

Oh god...

[Yep, he had to turn away from the locket for a minute, hand over his mouth as he closed his eyes and willed himself not to throw up.]

They don't have soda here, Malia. Not outside the Station. Nothing like phones or cars or anything tech.

[ferally]

[ oops ]

So then I'll bring you some from the Station. Whenever you get back. [ there that works. like it'll still help, after the fact ] But this locket is like a phone, right? The closest thing to a phone?

This place is weird.

[teenyoda]

Yeah, pretty much. And unless you lock it, everyone can see it. Like now. Peter can get a peek at this, if he wants.

[Dick.]

No argument from me. But... this place has dragons, too. So, you know. There's that.

[ferally]

Why would Peter pay any attention to our conversation?

[ ppsshhhtt ]

Dragons? What, just flying around? [ ... ] I'm guessing they're not that much of a threat if people are just walking around outside like this.

[teenyoda]

Because Peter's a nosy jerk.

[And you're his baby girl and now Stiles has his hands all over you. Metaphorically speaking...]

Ah, no. Well, I mean, there's dragons here, but I haven't seen them just flying around all the time like birds. They're not like... everywhere.

[ferally]

True. But. [ hm. ] Well, okay fine. How do I make this private, for just you and me?

But you have seen one before? I mean, you know for a fact that they're here? [ that shit is scary okay. well, cool, but mostly scary. pretty sure dragons eat people!! or could, if it wanted to!! ]

[teenyoda]

There's a setting you have to push.

[Magical explanations on how that works.]

I've seen five. One big one, three baby ones, and one that died outside the castle.

[ferally]

[ push. push. growl pushpush! there. now it's private. ]

So, okay. The one big one is probably huge and scary, but I'm sure the babies can't be worse than a berserker.

-- Who are also pretty impossible to take down, but at least I have experience in trying.

[ grin! ]

[teenyoda]

Berserkers can't spit fire.

...

What the hell is a berserker?

[ferally]

A mostly-man dressed in bear skin and bones, who somehow managed to channel the animal's instinct so much that he lost his sense of humanity. Somehow.

They are not fun to go up against in a fight.

[teenyoda]

... When the he-- Are those in Beacon Hills? That's what we're fighting next? Jesus.

[ferally]

Yes. And they're only a part of it. But that's something we should probably talk about in person, and not when you're trying not to barf on a boat with your new pack. [ hrrrk that was a slip ] Your new group.

[teenyoda]

Hey, whoa, they're not my pack. That's a... that's a Scott thing. With Scott. These guys... they're good people. Jon's a good guy and Gendry's... well, he's Gendry. Sansa and Arya...

[ahaha... Sansa. Yeah. Not really going into detail on that with his future girlfriend.]

They're nice people.

[ferally]

It was a slip. It just- It sounds like you should have pack here, that's all. [ a thinky beat ] I'm glad you made friends here. [ grin! ] I'm sure they're great. [ still grinning! is it convincing yet? ]

[teenyoda]

[No, Malia. It was scary.]

I have friends. You could have friends here too, if you want.

[Hint hint? Offer offer?]

[ferally]

I do have friends here. I have you, and I have Lydia. [ ... ] You mean new friends, don't you?

I'm not great at making new friends.
