      "IT'S EVERYTHING LYDIA CAN TRANSLATE. And trust me, she was very confused."

Lynn switched upwards to make eye contact with Allison through the bookshelf — which in truth, was probably just making her meetup with Scott, Stiles, and Lynn even more suspicious on the newly installed camera's in almost every crook and cranny.

      The three teenagers were on one side of a bookshelf staked with old books that most likely hadn't been read in a long time, since what high school students willfully pick up a book? Allison had her back now pressed against the bookshelf, probably trying to look as inconspicuous as possible.

      "Yeah, what'd you tell her?" Scott questioned, peering from Stiles reading a book, fake flipping the pages to look entertained.

      While talking about how they had Lydia managed to translate those many pages of the Argents bestiary, Allison had secretively tried to slide a completely black small tablet into the bookshelf.

      "That we were part of an online gaming community that battles mythical creatures," Allison licked her dry lips as an amusing smile crossed her face, and Lynn let a little laugh escape her lungs.

"I am part of an online gaming community that battles mythical creatures," Stiles replied, looking utterly confused towards his friends as to why they were entertained by such a sentence.

Lynn pursed out her full pink lips entertained, and then wrapped two arms over Stiles shoulders to give him a hug from behind. She gave a supportive squeeze, and neatly tucked her chin onto his right shoulder.

"Stiles Stilinski, do you know how much I love you?" Lynn grinned playfully, and Stiles went wide eyed and a small blush started to creep onto his cheeks — probably because he's never had a girl in such proximity.

"Does it say how to find out who's controlling him?" Scott spoke up curiously, completely ignoring his two friends as Lynn teasingly scruffed up Stiles' growing buzz-cut.

"Not really, but Stiles was right about the murderers," Allison explained, and then Stiles let out a little fit of cheer while wildly grinning. "It calls the kanima a weapon of vengeance. There's a story in there about this South American priest who uses the kanima to execute murderers in his village—"

"—Alright, see? So, maybe it's not all that bad," Stiles suggested almost wittily, and Lynn shrugged her shoulders alongside him.
