[He sounds the least convinced ever. Still, Stiles' words rang eerily similar to Scott's own, and the casual and completely unintentional reminder of the day in the clinic gives him pause.
Isaac is used to playing the bully by now. Comfortable with it, immersed enough in it to not have a whole lot of empathy, especially not for some kid asking if his dad was okay. He has half a mind to end this conversation now, just to leave Stiles wondering, to lash out at him the only way he can at this point- but he doesn't.
What ends up happening is that he sort of falters, and it's sort of Scott's fault somehow, but Isaac sighs and acts like it's an inconvenience anyway.]
As far as I know, he's fine. He hasn't shown up in the news, anyway.
that's all he really wanted to know. the pressing information, anyway. everything else, while still important, is kind of secondary; nothing beats stiles' dad, nothing, and to hear that he's okay is a huge weight off of stiles' shoulders. there's still the nagging feeling that anything could be happening back home, right now, where stiles can't stop it or help prevent it or look out for it (the kanima is still out there, even if matt isn't, and it's got a new master, so who the hell knows who it's killing?), but it's a lesser worry than it was before; he can rest easy. for a given definition of easy. or resting, for that matter.
so he nods. wants to say oh, thank god, and pump his fist, let off some energy, but keeps it in, buried along with the exclamations he knows are for nobody but himself. ] Great. Awesome. Perfect.
[ because family's family, and dads are dads, and isaac should get that, even if... his wasn't so great.
stiles pauses, warily. ] Just to be absolutely clear, Peter didn't do anything, did he? Like, he didn't set fire to the town and fiddle on the rooftops.
[ because that? would be a thing peter would do. ]
[Isaac couldn't help but to roll his eyes at the celebration happening just across from him, utterly unimpressed with Stiles' display. He doesn't really care about anyone, especially not the way that Stiles does for his father, and so the whole idea that Stiles should be as pleased as he is, is... kind of lost on him.
The second question is something he can handle better. Detached from any weird emotional hangup, and it's Peter, who'd been kind of a creep, but not really a villain in the time that Isaac had known him, despite Scott's and Stiles' reactions to hearing that he was still alive.]
No- that's stupid, why would he do that? [Isaac sneers at the thought, before shrugging.] Peter helped us plan everything. Without him, we'd probably be dead.
