[ abigail is at the bait shop, sitting behind the counter. beside her is a rack of fish themed valentine's and little pink stuffed fish. ]

I was unaware there were so many fish puns that related to Valentine's Day. So... Hook, Line and Tinker is having a sale. By sale... I mean sale. Everything must go. Please take these off my hands. This was a horrible mistake and I regret my life choices.

[ /stares at camera like jim halpert. boy, does she ever. she will probably give them away free if you buy a pack of gum. how are she and will in business still? well, she's actually a really good saleswoman when it comes down to it.

just not right now. when cutesy fish are making cutesy faces at her. ]

Unrelated to flirty flounders, someone asked me about... well, basically about this place and I realized I've been kind of willingly ignorant to anything that's going on around me. I've read the FAQ, but is there anything else I should know?

[ you'd think after three months in a basement she would want to know more, but nope. at least she does now. only took six months. shut up, she's dead. she had to deal with that for a while. ]

Also, small show of hands -- I hope it's small -- who else is dead in their worlds?

[ so casual. she gives the camera a brief, wry smile and cuts out. ]

Comments

[ex_question191]

Yeah. Yeah, he showed up really recently. And it's so good to see him, but I dunno. Just one more thing to worry about.

[ but then, at least his relationship with his father isn't like abigail's, right? ]

He's living in Maurtia Falls. You wanna meet him?

[lurings]

Yes. [ she doesn't even try to hide her rare, breathless enthusiasm. of course she wants to meet his dad. be generally awkward in front of his dad. thank his dad for being the reason stiles exists, like wow this is how to raise a son, let's be perfectly clear. sheriff stiilinski did so good.

she doesn't try to backtrack from that enthusiasm either. ] Yeah, I do.

[ex_question191]

Cool.

[ he can't help grinning, a little abashed. he just likes her so much and he thought maybe she'd be weirded out by the offer but she seems into it. ]

I'll get in touch, we can get dinner together sometime.

[ she can watch him try to forbid his dad from eating steak fries. ]

[lurings]

[ seeing a parent child relationship that doesn't involve murder will be good for her. but dinner with stiles' dad sounds like the best thing. ]

'kay.

[ she wants to remind him to go easy on himself re: his dead friend, but he's smiling and she doesn't want to take that away from him just yet. ]

Do you think if I ask nicely he'll tell me your first name? [ becomes best friends with ur dad. ]

[ex_question191]

Not unless he wants his son to go to prison. For murder.

[ the sheriff for telling or abigail to keep the secret, it's unclear. not that'sstiles would actually do it. or get caught. ]

Seriously, no way. He's gotta know better by now.

[lurings]

I'll get it out of you one day.

[ her smile falters a little and she glances down briefly before she settles back on the screen. ] I should get back to work, Will is buying my love and hard work with lemonade.

It's working. [ as if she didn't love him already. pls. ]

Stiles. Don't... don't be too hard on yourself. It's going to be just as hard for you to tell her as it will be for her to hear.

[ex_question191]

[ he's starting to wonder if she and derek have some kind of bet on to see who can find out his real name first. ]

Yeah. Yeah, okay.

[ it should be hard, is what he thinks. it should be punishing. ]

Well, uh, have fun at work. Save a salmon for me.

[lurings]

Always. [ duh. ]

I'll talk to you later.

[ she gives the screen a little wave before shutting the video off before it gets awkward. ]
