Do you have really pointy elbows? [She's teasing now.]

I'm fifty percent sarcasm and fifty percent sharp angles.

[She shakes her head and glances down to the rabbit asleep in her lap. The ears twitching every so often.]

The whole package.

You'd think so, right?

[There's a small depreciating smile as he looks down at his feet.]

So, when do you want to do this probably really irresponsibly dangerous thing?

In four days. I just, I want to make sure that I have time to ... to back out, I guess. I don't want it to be this rush, just because of everything that happened.

In the morning though.

[That she was giving herself time to think about it was what gave it a better light in his head. He nodded, picking at a blade of grass.]

Okay. Yeah, I can do that. Just remind me the night before so I can set an alarm.

[She nods.] I can do that.

[Erica pets the top of the rabbit's head, making sure not to wake it up.]

Are you okay? I mean, with everything that's gone on I'm sure everyone sort of... just puts it all on you.

[Oh, you sweet summer child. You had no idea. But he shrugged and dug his nail into the blade of grass, cutting it in half.]

Hey, do you see me crumbling?

No, but just because you're not an easy cry-er doesn't mean you don't still need to talk to someone about it.

Hey, I can cry. I cry all the time. I'm secure enough in my masculinity to let some tears squeeze free.

[He'd done a lot more crying in public recently than usual, but shh.]

[She lets out a small laugh.]

That's... that's not what I meant, I just meant - look, if you want to talk. I am capable of listening.

[He nodded.]

That's cool. I appreciate that.

[But he wouldn't take her up on it. Stiles wasn't going to add to Erica's problems with his own, especially when he hadn't fully wrapped his head around what his problems were.]

[She doesn't think he will, but she felt like offering was a good thing.]

It's not just a one time offer. So, just remember that.

[It was and he really did appreciate it, Erica. Sometimes he forgot that people might be there for him.]

I will. I'll write it down somewhere that I'll look when I'm panicking.

Capital letters. [She smirks.]

In something that glows.

You could learn how to make neon signs. [She smiles and exhales.] Thank you, Stiles. I mean, you don't have to go with me - I know that, but I do appreciate it.

[He shrugged.]

Everyone needs someone, right? And hospitals or environments like that can suck.

[She nods, definitely agreeing with the fact that hospitals suck.]

I need to figure out what to do with this rabbit.

Eat it? I haven't had rabbit stew before. We can just roast it right here...

[Erica covers the rabbit's ears.]

No eating the rabbit. He survived the ice and whatever else happened in that pet store.

So we'll eat him and then make a hat out of him. Sounds honorable to me.

[Glaring.]

No eating the rabbit. You can go back to whatever it was you were doing. I'll handle the rabbit situation.

Fine.

[He moved to get up.]

So I'll see you before the appointment.

Yep. [She nods.] I'll text to remind and then we can meet here? Then go together.
