You had enough to worry about. The store, and Stiles and stuff.
[And, to be honest, Scott's right- he also went alone to protect them, in a way. Isaac wants to see what they're up against, once and for all, so he knows more about how to deal with it and how to prepare the others for it as best he can. Only one of them had to go, right? Might as well be him, he wants the fight anyway, if for no other reason than to clear his head.]
It's not bad. [It was pretty bad.] They, uh. They hit really hard.
[And Isaac sort of laughs here, dryly.]
Everyone was pretty much treated on the way back, but the high level healers spent all of their energy doing life or death stuff, you know? So I got the bones fixed, the bruising... not so much. Should be fine in a few days.
[ Scott realizes Isaac is obviously talking from experience, when he talks about how long the bruises will take to heal.
It's times like this Scott really wishes they had their werewolf abilities back. ]
I'll come see you after work. I had to throw away that soup but I can get some more that's fresh...
Sorry about the door. I guess I kinda overreacted... I'll find someone to fix it. Or you can even stay in Allison's room in Freya until it's fixed since she's not using it. It's room 301.
All her stuff is in my room. [ Hence why Scott's room has some girly touches to it. ] Her room is practically empty, she wouldn't mind you using it.
If you're too hurt to move to get food, someone's going to have to bring food to you. [ It's the least Scott can do for making Derek kick his door down. ]
[The sound of fabric over the feed as he shifts against the couch.]
I might just crash with Erica. She's just upstairs. Anyway, I can move, it's just a little sore.
[Bruises all up and down his torso? Just a little sore. He'd say he's had worse, but hell, he had worse three days ago when the bruises were covering broken ribs.]
I was joking, he's not going to hurt you. [ Scott hopes. He'll be in trouble with Scott if he does. ] The first time you were here, you went missing and we went looking for you, but you'd got sent home. I think he was afraid of that happening again.
[ Because as much as Derek prefers being alone, Scott knows he needs his betas, especially the one that stayed behind. ]
[Quiet, but- detached. Maybe Isaac is wrong- he has a feeling he might be- but it's never externally been about anything but power. Scott even commented on it, at one point. And, truthfully, Isaac accepted that going into it, and he accepts it now.]

voice;
It's alright, I'll figure something out. I don't think Allison would want me touching her stuff, even if she isn't using it.
[The frown is evident in his voice when he speaks again.]
And you don't... have to bring me food or anything.

voice;
Even if I don't need to bring you food, can I come see you anyway because you're my friend?
[ And he totally thinks Isaac is downplaying his injuries so he wants to come see him and judge for himself how "not bad" it is. ]
voice;
[He doesn't know if he'll ever get used to hearing that.]
Come on over.
voice;
voice;
He's actually slightly terrified of that.]
...yeah. If he hasn't.

...I don't think Derek is afraid to lose me.

voice;
[ Scott will leave it at that. ]
I have to go deal with a customer but I'll see you later, okay? Take it easy.
voice;
[Regardless, the call has given him a lot to think about.]
