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.

Scott tries to convince her to hold off. He can't up and move out overnight without a word. He's trying to do something right with Derek. He's trying to keep the peace. He appreciates what Derek has done for Stiles and abandoning him all of a sudden seems like it will do more harm than good. It also seems mean.

Luckily, his mother agrees to stay at Derek's until they find a place. Until they find and furnish a place. With the place found (four bedroom, two bath) the next step includes finding furniture.

They haven't done this since moving to Beacon Hills. It reminds Scott of starting over. Again, with his mom which he wasn't expecting. But, he's not complaining. He just has a lot on his mind. He thought he'd be in Beacon Hills till at least past college. Not that he'd had time to think about college since the summer. Everything had ramped up. Taking all that time to better himself and to better his life seems to have gotten him nowhere.

People are dead. Virgins. Soldiers. Healers. Not Deaton. His best friend is different. He's dealt with stuff Scott never realized had affected him like that. Thanks to a curse, he now knows exactly how bad it got for Stiles.

Scott is going to help with the money if need be. He gets an allowance and he thinks Penny might be able to help. She's a friend now. Scott is going to help in any way he can. It's a lamp that reminds him of the one on his mother's dresser that causes him to space out. Then he's asked a question. He looks down at the couch, now. Right, this is a joint effort.

"It's bright." Not too bright and it might be the lighting but it seems, what's the word Lydia used - loud. It seems loud. "What about that one?" This one's black. He doesn't know what they should be looking for color-wise. What goes with what. He sits on one cushion and bounces once. It's not too comfortable.
