STILINSKI HOUSE
[After practice, Stiles headed straight for his bedroom, where he began researching Werewolves on his computer. His online search starts with articles on Lycaon, said to be the first Werewolf, and moves on to articles about wolfsbane. Some time later, Stiles moves on to reading an old, battered book titled The History of Lycanthropy, before going back to the computer and searching online for articles about silver as a weakness of Werewolves. Finally, Stiles, looking concerned about what he's read so far, prints out an old sketch of a Hunter aiming a crossbow at a transformed Werewolf]
"You're like really smart" Chris says.
"No need to sound so surprised" Stiles mumbles.
[Suddenly, the sound of knocking at Stiles' door startles him so badly that he nearly falls out of his chair, revealing that the floor is covered in computer printouts from his research. Stiles thinks for a moment on what to do next, ultimately closing his MacBook and walking over to open his bedroom door. When he finds Scott in the doorway, he sighs in relief before allowing Scott entry]
STILES: Get in.
"Get in loser" Aurora and Lydia say at the same time.
[Scott walks into Stiles' bedroom just as Stiles closes the door]
STILES: You gotta see this thing. I've been up all night reading-- websites, books, all this information.
[Scott sets his backpack on the floor by Stiles' bed, his eyes widening when he sees all the paper covering the floor and desk]
SCOTT: How much Adderall have you had today?
STILES: A lot.
[Stiles shakes his head before changing the subject]
STILES: Doesn't matter, okay? Just listen.
[Scott takes a seat on Stiles' bed]
SCOTT: Oh, is this about the body? Did they find out who did it?
"Fucking Peter" Aurora mutters under her breath.
[Stiles is momentarily distracted by the point of summoning Scott to his house as he shares what he knows]
STILES: No, they're still questioning people. Even Derek Hale.
SCOTT: Oh, the guy in the woods that we saw the other day?
STILES: Yeah!
[Just then, Stiles remembers what he was trying to tell Scott]
STILES: Yes. But that's not it, okay?
[Scott frowns in confusion]
SCOTT: What, then?
STILES: Remember the joke from the other day?
[Stiles looks nervous about what he's going to say next, which only gets worse when Scott shakes his head, not knowing where Stiles is going with this]
STILES: Not a joke anymore. The wolf, the bite in the woods... I started doing all this reading.
[Stiles stands to his feet, already sidetracked from his original point]
STILES: Do you even know why a wolf howls?
SCOTT: Should I?
STILES: It's a signal, okay? When a wolf's alone, it howls to signal its location to the rest of the pack. So if you heard a wolf howling, that means others could have been nearby. Maybe even a whole pack of 'em.
SCOTT: A whole pack of wolves?
[Stiles finally gets to the point in his typically blunt fashion]
STILES: No-- Werewolves.
