[ or a morbid one, same thing. he may not be the best wingman, but even scott knows it's probably best not to talk about how excited stiles gets around dead bodies. ]
[Funnily enough Cassie actually already figured that one out so you're golden.]
phew. that's a relief.
[Except not really, because Cassie doubts that Stiles' open mindedness extends to witches and dark magic. But whatever. He only asked her to a dance that is still hypothetical at best, it's not really a proper date-date. So it's fine if he doesn't know.]
anyway, more seriously, i think you're probably right to be concerned. i really could be anybody. is this typical for him?
cool. i liked california, when i lived there. sure is a lot warmer than washington, at any rate.
i live in a small fishing town called chance harbor in the middle of nowhere, washington state. aaand i work part time as a barista and waitress at a cafe. not as cool as working at the vet's, but i can make a mean cup of coffee now!

i know we can make tea out of some of the plants in the gardens. or i think we can. i mean i've made some and i think they're basically the same as stuff back home.
and yeah, it's completely worth it. i think people just take care of their own animals here, but i bet you could get a job at the bar if you wanted to.
[There's a noticeable pause before Cassie's reply comes through this time. She debates typing the truth... but it feels like a bit much, having just mentioned her dead mom and dickhead dad.]
it's fine. and yeah, she's cool.
i'm not much of a tea person, but maybe i'll go check it out sometime. thanks.
and i'm not so sure about that. i don't think they let 17 y/os work in bars last time i checked. unless it's an alcohol-free bar, anyway.
they might? idk i think some of the people who work there now are pretty young. i don't think we have drinking laws in space. they let stiles in all the time

um. no? he doesn't usually ask people out
[ which sounds a lot better than 'he would probably take anybody'. ]
no subject
oh. ok. well then. i guess... i'm flattered.
no subject
no you should be, seriously his standards are ridiculous
[ like, lydia martin ridiculous. but the important thing is that scott's made this totally weird, so- ]
should we maybe start over? i'll be less weird this time, promise. i'll even skip the asking questions about stiles.
[ as if he'll be less weird. but he'll not talk about the not-date, anyway. ]

i'm from california, i used to work at a vet's office.
[ which is the obvious 'your turn' cue. he's better at this when you can see the friendly smile, honestly. it's endearing instead of awkward. ]

i saw that
[ because middle of nowhere means quiet, right. ]
and do we even have coffee here? also working in a vet's office only qualifies as cool if you don't mind looking at a lot of animal poop.
nope
i'm not sure about the coffee, i haven't actually looked.
but it must be worth it, right? the animal poo, i mean. you'd get to take care of everyone's pets for a while.

not like, all the time, he doesn't drink much. i think he mostly just goes there to hang out.
[ with the hot bartender?? wow he's making this weird again. mostly for himself. ]
it's a pretty cool bar. we should all go sometime, maybe you can ask about a job? if you even want one, i guess it's not like we have to work here.
no subject
well now i'm totally reassured, lol.
and yeah, sure. that sounds like a good idea. it'd be nice to have something more to do.
no subject
[ not that stiles doesn't have other friends, but whatever. these are hard facts!! ]
awesome! i'll text you later
[ he's not even embarrassed about that exclamation mark. ]
no subject
sorry for being weird.

ttyl.
