                taking off his helmet, scott doesn’t say anything at first. gives himself a minute to register that dae’s here. then there’s the matter of passing his hand over where he’s still bleeding through another good shirt. she’s found him at a bad time — has close to nothing, it feels like. pack in shambles. he’s not sure if he should consider this good, or poor timing on her part. just like he can’t make out if her being here at all will do him any favors. because this is exactly the kind of attitude he needs right now. ( spoiler: it isn’t. )

“ i could say the same thing about you. ”   since she’s back here, of all places. beacon hills was his responsibility; dae could be anywhere else in the world if she wanted to. ( so excuse the small part of him, buried deep within all the bad, that’s happy to see her. )   “ what are you doing— ”   a wince,   “ back? ”

        the smell of blood violates her nostrils as he approaches, leaving her senses dull to anything else around them. the intention of her visit was not to give him any grief, but to check on his well being, maybe see if she could be of any help ( if wanted of course. ) considering the shape he was in, he may need it.

        the she wolf straightens her posture, crossing arms upon her chest. the air around them felt awkward even just slightly. she left her home, and the fate of this town upon his shoulders. a selfish move it may of been, but she’s here now, and she hopes that counts for something. 

        ‘  your brother called me, told me what happened.  ‘  there’s a pause as her weight shifts, gaze dropping to where he cradles his injuries.  ‘  are you okay?  ‘
