Just to clarify to make sure the rules are fairly in place for both of us, 'you' includes yourself and Lydia, yes?

[engender]

I don't control what Lydia says or does.

[mygame]

Then our agreement extends to only to you. Good to know.

[engender]

Has she attacked you?

You look like a good friend of hers, you terrorized her other friends and you're directly responsible for one of their deaths. You can't think she's going to be nice.

[mygame]

No, she has not. I saw her here, nothing more.

Our agreement was that I would stay out of your way, and you would stay out of mine. In an enclosed environment like this, neither one of us has much room should a fight break out. Not to mention nowhere to go after. There is more than enough food for me that I don't need you for that.

I don't care what her feelings for me are. We are both here, and that cannot be changed. I am only trying to define what you consider 'yours'.

[engender]

Who approached who?

[mygame]

You seem to feel you have the right to ask me a great many questions instead of answering one that, might I point out, benefits only you.

[engender]

So, you approached her. Staying out of your way means staying out of ours.

[mygame]

She approached me and tried to spur me into attacking her.

[Mostly true there. It took it as an aggressive action from her.]

At that time, our agreement was not in place. It is now. My question remains if you consider her 'yours' and thus someone to be avoided.

[engender]

I don't believe you.

[mygame]

That matters to me... why?

[engender]

I said ours. I meant ours.

[ He's not replying again ]

[mygame]

[The Nogitsune is a little amused by the fact that Derek managed to frustrate it. Ah well. All of them then. Spoilsport. At least it's cheered by the fact that Lydia may have to explain why she decided to challenge the Nogitsune to attack her while completely alone. Meanwhile, it's finding a bolthole just incase.]

Both of you then. I'll keep that in mind.

text. I KNOW YOU'RE ABOUT TO GO ON VACAY IM SORRY

[driven]

were you going to tell me?

[ sorry derek you get to be the focal point for misdirected teenage anger. ]

text. SCREAMING

[engender]

[ her anger comes from derek being the first to see her. it's easiest for her to be angry at him. he's not going to dissuade her. if she should be angry at anyone, it can be him to the extent they all have to come together. he's not apologizing however. he's not going to start now. ]

would you have wanted to hear it from me?

text. HIIIIIII c:

[driven]

[ it's also easy for her to be angry at him when he's the most put together. her interactions have been a younger isaac who doesn't remember her, a grieving scott, and a lydia who allison is now too terrified to leave alone for more than just a few moments. she can't be angry at them. even if she wants to, more than anything else she's ever wanted, she can't.

she's cried too much today to start again. fallen to pieces with lydia's arms around her middle. i'm sorry chanted over and over.

derek is standing, derek is fine. derek, she can take her anger out on and not feel guilty about it. ]

you didn't answer the question
were you? or were you going to let me just walk around without knowing?

[ it's immature, she's lashing out, but she needs to take it out on someone. ]

text. HELLO.<3

[engender]

[ derek, for the record, is not fine. but, yes. he is standing. he wasn't there when she was killed. but, he heard about it. he saw the aftermath. as honest as he could've been, scott - even lydia - they wouldn't have been happy with him. and scott is derek's alpha, as unspoken as that is. ]

it wasn't my place to tell you.

text. this is everything you wanted right

[driven]

[ well, yes. that is very possible. but that would also involve allison taking into account what derek could have been through and what could have happened. allison generally likes to think of herself as someone who puts others first, especially when it regards her friends. though, really, that comes down to only when it is her friends, and derek hasn't really made it there. yet.

so as far as allison is concerned, he is fine. or at least more fine than everyone else. ]

and if scott didn't tell me?
lydia?
would you have done it then?

text. and more.

[engender]

no. probably not.
if you'd asked.

text. c:

[driven]

you'd be okay with me walking around not knowing?
letting everyone /lie/?
you should have told me when I found you
you had no right to keep that from me

text.

[engender]

if scott decided that was best, then yes, allison. i'd be okay with lying to you.

text.

[driven]

[ she almost chucks her phone, but then something stands out to her. ]

if scott decided?

text.

[engender]

if scott asked me to, i would

text.

[driven]

since when do you listen to scott

text.

[engender]

since i gave up being an alpha for cora

text.

[driven]

[ well then. ]

so scott's your alpha now?

text.

[engender]

there's no official handshake

[ but, yes. sort of. it's implied. they're equals, really. ]

text.

[driven]

but you listen to him

text.

[engender]

I respect his opinions.

text.

[driven]

that's not an answer

text.

[engender]

I listen to him

text.

[driven]

[ that's all she really needs to know, isn't it? ]

good to know

[ she's basically planning on ending the conversation here. nothing was really gained, except that little tidbit of info, but it's something to talk to scott about.

when she actually talks to scott. ]

text.

[engender]

[ he's not sorry, allison. sorry you died, yes, not sorry for not pulling your world apart at the seams here. he wasn't going to be the one who does that. ]
