the fingers in his hair startle him, only slightly, not to the point where
         he jumps. itâs soothing, or itâs supposed to be, and heâll move his
         forehead to rest upon her shoulder, eyes closing slightly. he hates this.
         the world hates him. heâs just very, very close to screaming.
                       âare you okay? oh my god, lydia i â â
         heâd been so caught up in worrying about the jeep, that he didnât even
         realise that heâd never asked lydia if she was okay. he goes to step
         back to examine her, but his hand is taken and he looks down at it, the
         way she holds into it as if to bring him out of a trance. amber hues look
         to her, head canting to the side slightly. brows will furrow, and he lets
         out a soft laugh, wincing afterwards.
                       âiâll be fine. are you okay? did you get hurt?
                        i swear to god if you have internal bleeding
                        because i was being an ass, i might just
                        BLUDGEON my head against a wall.â
                          She hates how much pain is rife in their lives, how things like this have become an expected turn of events rather than some kind of anomaly. A quiet sigh is released as Stiles rests his head upon her shoulder, and she allows her grip upon his hand to soften slightly. This feeling of powerlessness is one that Lydia can hardly tolerate, and it is times such as this that she wishes she was of more help.
                       His concern is sweet, familiar and expected, and Lydia is quick to reassure him. Sheâs almost certain that sheâs fine, but she will submit herself to the paramedics when they arrive. She can hardly afford to take the risk, when any wrong step, both in the word of the supernatural, and not, could destroy them all.Â
                        â Itâs okay, Stiles ---- I think Iâm fine. But Iâll let the paramedics have a look, before you start worrying. You just need to stay still, and not put your hands on that wound. â
