I NEEd chains.

[ That's it. That's what you get. Oh, no, wait. She knows exactly what Stiles and Kira would suggest in this moment. She should ask nicely. It's less effort over text than in person, so even though she's rolling around miserably right now because she had it on good authority that weres don't really get sick unless it's wolfsbane, she can manage. ]

Please. :)

[ Be friendly!! ]

Do you have someone to stay with you?

[She pauses.] Sorry, I'm just assuming things. I'm Hayley, by the way.

Yeah. Stiles always does.

[ Beat. ]

So, you're ... You know. Like me, too?

[Stiles? She hasn't really heard that name in a while. She knows that he's back, she'd caught that, but she also figured that he wasn't the same one she'd spoken with.]

If you're a werewolf, then yes. [It's slightly a risk, but considering the girl openly asked for chains, she figures that at the very least it's confidentiality out of need.]

[ She shrugs. Close enough. Getting into the whole coyote thing seems excessive. ]

I'm Malia.

[Hayley would probably interested in that, coming from a world that has vampires and hybrids.]

Is this your first turn on the ship?

Yeah. Why? Does it do something weird with that, too?

[ 'Too' meaning in addition to the already present illness pervading the passenger population. ]

Other than still happening even though there isn't an actual moon here? No, it's just always rough the first time. [Hayley shrugs.] At least in my experience. This ship seems to have its own idea of how things should work and nothing is ever easy.

Also, everyone seems to have their own lunar cycle here and it can get a bit tiresome to not have the community of a pack around you for it each time.

That doesn't sound too much different from what I'm used to.

[ Which is to say that she hasn't always had a pack. This is still new for her. ]

[Maybe Stiles is just a common name?]

You're from Beacon Hills, right? [She just assumes they all put that whole pack thing as emphasis.]

Yeah.

[ She gives a quick nod. ]

I know. There's tons of us here.

It isn't so odd. There were a lot of people from Mystic Falls here before.

[She shrugs.]

I know a few others from Beacon Hills, though. Derek and Isaac. I talked to Stiles once, but I think it was one from a different time.

Where's Mystic Falls? Is that your home?

No, it's not my home. I was there for a while - visiting, but I wouldn't consider it my home. I don't consider anywhere my home. [Actually, it's sad for her to think that this ship is the closest she's come to a stable environment with people that care about her regardless of what she might be able to give them.]

I traveled a lot growing up and recently I've been living in New Orleans. When I'm not on a ship flying to who knows where.

I was actually just trying to figure out if "people from Mystic Falls" just meant people you knew before coming here.

So, thanks, I guess.

[ awkward shrug. awkward everything. ]

I knew a few of them. From before, but we weren't all friends or anything.

... Okay.

[ ??????

She looks really perplexed like wow obviously Hayley not everyone is your friend. And she's really confused about this heart-to-heart in general. How do you socialize. ]

[Oh, Malia. Never change.

Hayley feels really odd about this conversation now...]

Anyway -- if you ever need help with your shift. I have a lot of experience with it. I'd be more than willing to offer help, if you need it.

I have help.

[ wait. that was rude. worKING ON IT. ]

... Thank you.

[ her eyebrows raise and she forces an over-the-top smile with it. ]

[Hayley gives her an amused smile and a nod of her head.]

I figured you've got it handled, but it never hurts to have back up.

Good luck, Malia.
