Log;

She has a notebook open in front of her, with dimensions of their new apartment jotted down in front of her. She's still honestly a bit stunned with everything, but not least of which is how were they going to pay for this? The money looked like Monopoly money to her, frankly, and it didn't seem like they'd have enough for everything they needed.

So she's gonna be frugal. New beds, a sofa, a kitchen table and chairs. They can decorate more as they settle in. The only thing she's really going to splurge on is cookware. She wants a really nice set of pots and pans.

She pauses in front of a muted blue sofa, and cocks her head at it.

"What do you think? Too blue? Not blue enough?" she asks Scott. He was old enough to have an opinion on these things now.

"Oh," he replies, rolling his head back to stare at the ceiling fan. His head falls to the other side before sitting up. "I like that one." It's a black, modern frame. Sleek. Simple. He's up and moving towards it. He checks the tag. "It's on sale." How they ever schedule sales here, he doesn't know. And he jumps, diving onto it, feet up, he's not a barbarian before rolling over onto his back.

"I think I like this one for me."

She chuckles a little bit to herself, and sits back up to watch him.

"If you like it, get it."

His abrupt change of subject is endearing, and a trick he so obviously learned from Stiles. She can only go along with him, and trust in him. Because she does trust him, he's shown he's more than capable of making good choices. Most of the time, anyway.

And he sits up again, arms flopping to the sides of his legs.

"Do you like that one?" he asks, up again and taking a step towards the other bed.

"...You know? I think I do."

She pats the mattress one last time, and then stands up.

"So, we'll need sheets and blankets, too. I wonder if this store offers credit? Not that I can prove my FICO score to anybody here, but hey."

"We can find out." Everything is easily obtainable here. He has friends. They won't go without the essentials. And, if Derek agrees to go with them, they already have food for another week.

"So, tables, now?" he asks, before, looking around them. "That one looks like the bed Stiles has back home." Maybe giving him actual incentive to stay will help Stiles decide to move with them. Because, he cannot live in the forest alone with Derek Hale. They can't all be that far apart.

She smirks knowingly, and then starts jotting down item numbers. All three beds, including the frame that Scott had pointed out for Stiles.

"Tables now. I have a feeling we're going to need more than just four chairs."

He smiles at his mother before moving beside her and making his way across the store to kitchen and dining room tables. He does have the best mom. Hands down.
