[Allison and Aiden are names she remembers from talks with Stiles. Allison is important to Scott. He loves her. Aiden, she's not sure she knows all that much about.

When the hairband is taken from her hair and Stiles fingers start running through the blonde strands, she closes her eyes and sighs. Charlie tilts her head back some, leaning into his hand just a bit.

This has always been her reaction, and always will be.]

I won't say a word.

[At his question, she sighs slightly, eyes opening as she looks at him.] Just keep holding me, Stiles. It's all I want right now. I don't want to talk about what happened, because it won't help me understand why the Nogitsune keeps...stepping in to protect me or whatever. I don't like it or trust it. I've never hidden that from anyone. It's....frustrating because it felt so uncomfortably familiar.

[It reminded her of the Shop. Of being told she's special and important and she's safe and fine, if she just cooperated. The Nogitsune hasn't asked anything from her, but when it does stuff like this, she feels like that moment is coming. When it'll want to use her somehow. Even when he made her the scarf, a knot had formed in her stomach and old fears resurfaced. But nowhere near as badly as they did today.]
