I know that this sounds odd. [ And isn't really a question that people generally ask. Also what isn't odd, around here? It's her justification ] But with what's been happening I'd like to know.

[ There's a pause. It's a touchy subject, obviously, and she's not even sure where the conversations might go ]

I want to know about your experience with death. [ She's going to try and go slow on this. As slow as Lydia Martin wanting to know something can. But things are pretty messed up. She feels pretty messed up. And she'll even tell her reasons for asking if she's asked ]

Not just if you know someone has died but... if you've seen it. [ A two second pause ] Or nearly died.

It's happened here, and could have happened a lot more. [ If Dirk hadn't put out that useful message. People were still taken but at least they were warned ]

But- Can people come back? [ It might sound crazy, but it's happened before. It happened to Jackson - twice, although that was a supernatural thing. But it leaves the possibility, right? ]

I'm going to the library. Hopefully it's as useful as it should be.

Oh.

[ Yeah. She should have figured that, although it's her and Stiles and she's still not 100% used to the 'actual actual friends and talking' part. Especially since she's been here and he hasn't been ]

Like hardly having a break in Beacon Hills? [ Yeah she may have just compared their lives to a mystery thing, horror-mystery more like ]

[He rolls his eyes and quirks up a smile. He'll always be at least a little in love with her, and a lot in awe of her intelligence and her ability to repress flawlessly, but he also enjoys the newfound ability to talk and be cheeky and sarcastic, without worrying what it'll do to her opinion of him.]

Yeah, it's like very day is Monday. With double chemistry with Harris, and where gym class has been replaced with run-screaming-in-terror class. Some days you just need a Sunday.

[intelligently]

Then here's like... Thursday. [ Run with it. It wasn't as bad as a Monday but it wasn't quite a Sunday ] I'd rather take Saturday, anyway.

[runboyrun]

..Yeah, it is totally Thursday. Wednesday if raptors or robo-bears.

[He gets it. It's practically his language.]

If we're gonna be comparing, Friday afternoon is the best. Like, right after school lets out and you're like "I have the whole weekend!"

And then Sunday night rolls around and you're just like "Hey wait I wasn't done with that!"

[intelligently]

[ Lydia nods. She gets the meaning. And will mentally add kraken to that, or is that a Tuesday? ]

Then I'm permanently wishing for Friday afternoon. At least some days it gets quiet. [ And then some days she finds dead bodies. Such a Sunday night ]

[runboyrun]

I will take Thursday. After a month of Mondays, you take what you can get.
