Sooo, I don't know how this is supposed to work, exactly, but-- I did say I'd contact you once that bloke's nonsense blew over. So.... hi? [A beat. Two. And-- ] This is Melanie, by the way.

[duelo]

Oh, yeah, cool. Hi, Melanie. I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to teach you this, but if you're still willing to let me try to stumble through it, I'm free to get started this weekend?

[ghosthuntuk]

Brilliant. Yeah, this weekend is good for me, too. And no worries about the stumbling-- I do plenty of that myself. [She lets out a huff of amusement.]

they're making me go to school AND they want me to join the cross country team
back home doesn't count because werewolves were everywhere but isn't it like cheating here?

[ Look, Derek. He's actually trying. ]

text;

[duelo]

You could test out of school, couldn't you? My sister said her roommate when we were still living in the government housing did that.

[ And while he's trying, too, this is Derek completely missing the point. ]

Here, I think they know about us so they're probably asking you because you're a werewolf.
Cheating, though? Probably. I just don't think they care that they'd be cheating.

[ ...he tried. ]

i owe you a hike
and you owe me a picnic
and a princess carry on the way down ;)
could use some fresh air if youre looking to avoid the festival
i hear festivals are mighty noisy and horribly smelly
all bad things for a werewolf

[ never mind he's absolutely crawling out of his skin and is in need of a desperate distraction. ]

text;

[duelo]

That you do and you're absolutely right. Well. I don't know about the princess carry part. I was just gonna throw you over my shoulder, but we can negotiate haha

Yeah, I'm not looking to head to that thing until Sunday when it starts to chill out or maybe in a couple of weeks when it's winding down, so that sounds good. When do you want to go?

[rumores]

Hey, you’ve got a minute?

[duelo]

Yeah of course, what's up?

Apologies for the unexpected call. We spoke briefly a week or so ago, and I thought I should reach out again.

Ah, I understand you know Sirius Black? He... recommended I speak to you. He told me he spoke to you about... well.

[ He feels like such an idiot, that he can't just come out and say it. ] My situation.

voice;

[duelo]

[ He sounds a little bit surprised to find out that Remus is the friend Sirius had mentioned, but not unpleasantly so. ]

Hey, don't worry about it. Yeah. I mean, I didn't know it was you he was talking about, but yeah. He mentioned. What are you thinking?

text, sometime between Friday/Saturday;

[rumores]

Hey. I’m sorry for texting so late (early?), but Klaus was hurt. He’ll be fine, but I don’t want to leave him so I may not be in for the next few days. Do you mind holding down the fort until he’s better? I’m sorry for sticking you with it like this.

text;

[duelo]

[ Leave it to Derek to completely ignore the question because his takeaway is Klaus was hurt. He might not be especially close to this Klaus, but he's been close with Klauses in the past; Klaus is also super important to the people Derek cares about the most outside of his own family. Klaus is pack by association. It is what it is. ]

Is he still in pain?

Lydia is on her way home. She texted me a few minutes ago. It doesn’t sound like she remembers what happened, or that she even knew she was gone that long.

Thanks for helping me look for her. I appreciate you and your pack helping me out.

[duelo]

What the hell...? All right, well, I'm glad she's okay (she's okay, right?) and on her way back.
You want to keep me posted if you figure out what happened? It might come in useful keeping it from happening to somebody else, you know?

Of course, any time. I'm sorry we weren't much use, in the end.

text, morning of 10/27;

[imprudency]

so on a scale of one to i might casually die a tragic death by werewolf claws
how mad would your sister be if i filled her entire locker with cookies
asking for a friend

[duelo]

That depends. Which sister?
Laura would be a 1 and I'd rather pick 0 but it's not on your scale. Cora, though? Man, that's a hell of a risk. What kind of cookies?

text; backdated to morning of 11/15

[frigidaire]

hey you awake?
you got a sec to call?
i need some help

[ by some help, he's going to need a lot, considering he's not a werewolf anymore. ]

[duelo]

Yeah, I'm up. What's going on?
You can call if that's easier.

delivery, 11/26;

[rumores]

[ On Thanksgiving morning, there’s a delivery made at the Hale household with a note and an extra bottle of wine on the side (since she figures Cora can have the sparkling apple cider in the basket.

Happy Thanksgiving, Hales. We hope you have a great holiday.

[duelo]

[ The gift basket is thoughtful and makes Derek smile, so after bringing it in, he shoots off a text. ]

Thanks, Allison. This is really cool. Happy Thanksgiving. We hope you have a great holiday, too.

text, following the full moon;

[skygazing]

Thank you again for your assistance. I know it isn't anyone's idea of an excellent evening but I wanted to say it all the same.

I... may ask Hermione to stay back next time. She looked scared. Worried. She saw first hand how unwell I was in the days following. I'd rather not see her upset. Not because of me.

[duelo]

Anytime, man. It's not like I had anything better to do. I'm happy to help. You don't have to thank me.
What else is pack for, if not supporting one another when things are hard. Just promise me you'll be my body guard for the next lunar eclipse when I'm a breakable human and nothing more and we'll call it even.

Whatever you want, it's your call. In her defense, your transitions are pretty gnarly. It's tough to watch. But yeah, if you want to keep her out, we can keep her out.

Hey you got time to talk?

[duelo]

Yeah, sure, what's up?
