Why do I have a kitsune tail? [ Shes holding it carefully, though. As of it were the most important thing. At the moment, it kinda was. She motions for him to come over, not wanting to be too loud anymore and she asks, so very tentatively:] Is this one of yours?

It belongs to me, yes. Or to you, now, because I gave it to you. [Obviously, this is important. He comes over and sits down, taking it from her carefully.]

You carry them in your clothes or in a small bag on your body. For self defense, protection or for luck.

That's...thoughtful of you. [ For once, she doesn't even sound mad. Just unsure. So very unsure.</ small>]

Thank you. And...for the cookies. I appreciate it.

This is for you. Don't give it to Lydia. Don't even let her touch it. Do you know how to use it? [He pauses at the word 'cookies', looking mildly confused, but shrugs it off.] Sure.

No. No, I don't.

[ She can't help it. The look on his face at the mention of the cookies tugs at something in her and she smiles. Briefly.]

Show me someday.

There's candy too. [He hands her back the dagger.] You just aim for the neck, the left side. Slashing the veins. Or you can break it.

What would breaking it do?

Summon protection. An oni.

[ Charlie studies the dagger in silence, already thinking of a few places she can keep it hidden. She listens to Thomas, nodding a bit. She won't argue the protection aspect. An ace up her sleeve, she's learning, is a good thing indeed.]

This is a last resort, you understand. If I can't handle whatever it is I'm fighting, summoning an Oni is the last thing I'll try.

I know. That's why it's a weapon first.

[ Whatever alcohol that had been in her system is mostly faded by now and the ramifications of what just happened has hit. She chews her lower lip nervously, tapping a finger on her knee in thought as she glances at Thomas some. She wants to say...god. She's not sure what. So she just sits in silence, looking for all the world that she wants to say something, but the phrasing is difficult. ]

[He watches her, for a moment, before speaking.]

What?

[ THOMAS GOD DAMN IT! She huffs some, sighing and closing her eyes before turning to really look at him. And while it's still hard for her to say, considering who it is, somehow looking at Stiles' face helps. Maybe that's why she's avoided looking at him directly for so long.]

Thank you for looking out for me. [ And a pause. ] and I wanted...to apologize for getting upset about Roman. It was just hard to watch.

Why? [He may be genuinely curious here.]

Why am I saying thank you or why was I jealous?

Why were you jealous?

Because I wanted to be there with Stiles, so watching you with someone else, even in a non-romantic fashion actually hurt. A lot.

He wouldn't have been able to go even if I hadn't.

I know. You can't blame me for hoping he'd have been back for that.

[ She misses him, Thomas. That's to be expected. Charlie's a loyal girl. She did promise Stiles she'd stick by him through everything and she's going to keep that promise. ]

I suppose I'm sorry you're upset. [Is he? Maybe.] I do have people here. That won't change.

So does Stiles. That won't change, either.

[ Charlie's always going to be one of those people. ] Do me a favor? If you really mean that you're sorry, say it again. Don't...don't say it because you think it's what I want to hear. That's dishonest and unfair.

Should I be?

If you want me to trust you, you need to be honest and straightforward with me. That matters to you, right? Me trusting you?

Yes.

[Why? He couldn't say.]

So, no just saying things you think I want to hear. Ever.

[ She has so many issues with that, all of them thanks to Rainbird and the Shop.]
