[ he only does this after erica's spoken to him, making it the perfect excuse. truth is, he's worried about isaac, has been since they last talked. it hadn't gone over too well, after all, and this radio silence between them isn't how their pack is supposed to function. ]

Did you eat any apples?

[Okay, so he's still a little angry. He thinks he's pretty justified in his anger, and this whole silent treatment thing is definitely something Derek has coming. So when he sees his alpha's name pop up in his inbox, Isaac isn't exactly thrilled by it.

Still, he's not immature enough to just completely disregard an attempt to reach out.]

is the fish still alive?

[Maaaaybe he is. Just a little bit.]

Yes.

[ but at least you're talking to him. he counts that as a good sign. ]

I think it might be getting fat.

[ overfeeding the thing to death. ]

Edited 2013-09-11 02:21 (UTC)

youre not supposed to feed them every day

[There's a pause though. And whether Derek actually keeping their ~~love fish~~ beta alive softens him a little, or he just sort of missed talking to him, Isaac responds to the original question.]

no apples. being homeless means i didnt really have anything home worth trying to get here anyway. and ive seen enough of the future i dont want more

[ shit.

but anyway. ]

Good. Have you spoken to Scott or Stiles?

and erica

i know. i wish i didnt but i do

[ well, at least that saves him the trouble and sorrow of having to go over it.

it takes him a bit to write out the next message... ]

I know the last few months haven't been easy. I didn't mean to make things even harder.

[ so he's sorry. about it all-- mostly for what's happened here, but also for the things that are to come. but what is actually saying so. ]

well you did

[There's a long pause, and- well, in the past, he'd never speak out against his alpha, but Isaac is stronger here, and he's been breaking away from Derek for weeks now.]

look its fine. the jackson thing i just. i dont care anymore whatever.

[The rest of their pack dying has a little more forefront on his mind than a childhood rivalry.]

It's not fine. Your anger towards him is justified. I just didn't want to see that.

[ okay? he knows it seems like a small thing in the light of everything, but unlike the things going on back home, and in part here, it's something he can hope to fix. ]

[Wow, Derek admitting he's wrong? That's actually... really big of him. It's enough to make Isaac soften a little.]

...thanks.

are you okay? with the whole... erica and boyd thing

stiles and scott keep trying to get me to talk about it but i cant. not to them they dont get it

They were pack. They died on my watch.

[ so no, he's not really okay with any of it. and yet, derek doesn't know if he'd be any better at talking about it with isaac, even if he does get it. ]

Stiles seems to think it his responsibility since he's seen it all go down. He might understand some of it better than you think.

[ not on a pack level, nothing like that. but he's seen what they all go through, has lived it and derek can't ignore that either, as much as he might want to. ]

[ and some minutes later; ]

I'm here though.

[ if you want to talk about it. he'll try. ]

[The idea that Derek might blame himself is actually surprising, and Isaac has to pause for a moment to consider that, to reevaluate it. But in the end, he doesn't know if there's anything to say.]

im fine.

[Or at least, he will be.]

i dont really want to talk about it. i mean im here too if you need... idk but im okay.

[He's not trying to shut Derek out- if he wants to go over it, they can, but Isaac just... doesn't want to put his own feelings in the mix. He's still sorting them out.]

Alright. If anything comes up, don't hesitate to call me.

yeah yeah i know the drill

[That's what his last telling-off was for, remember?]
