He takes her hand.

Ilva?

Yup, here they are at the scene of the crime. She doesn't let go of his hand.

That's fine. He doesn't need his hand to track.

He catches a scent, but the trail ends in the woods.

"Understand then and also now, or now and also later, is remember. If I smell this person now, I will remember later. I will remember later. Thanks kobold."

Nod. "I maybe remember ilvamem. Ilva Scott home?"

"Yeah. Thanks kobold. Sorry ask come here."

He's already holding her hand.

And here they are back at the house.

"Scott no have ilva. Scott take pain. If kobold have pain can give to Scott. Person have pain can give to Scott."

The eyes may be slightly disconcerting.

The kobold is very confused.

"If starving, pain. If fire, pain. If bad person want kill make blood, pain."

It takes her another couple seconds of puzzling, and then she bites down very gently on her hand, just hard enough to leave a visible dent, which she shows him. "Pain?"

"Yes. Pain. I can take pain, and if I have pain now I have less pain less later, sooner."

Huh. "Okay."

"Scott no have kobold ilva, Scott has pain ilva."

Nod. "English has word, ilva?"

"English word is magic...many humans no see or remember or understand magic. They say there is no magic here."

Nod. "I need hide magic?"

"No need hide from Dr. Deaton or mom or Stiles or me. May need to show magic if I say, if kobold okay.

Nod. "Okay."

"Want English word -" she touches next to her eye, "see," touches next to her nose, "smell," touches next to her ear and looks expectantly at him.

"Hear or listen sounds."

"Taste food," pointing to his mouth.

"Touch or feel", he says, picking up a peach, and slicing it. 

Nod.

"Word, hear or taste or touch or see or smell?"

"Senses! Touch is one sense, taste is one sense. Touch and taste is two senses. Five senses, maybe more."

"Ilvamem is one sense, magic sense. Five? One, two, more?" She extends two fingers on her right hand as she counts, then a third.

"One, two, three, four, five." 

He brings her a bowl of peach slices and half a grapefruit. 

"Two fruit, one peach, one grapefruit. Eight peach slices. Five, six, seven, eight. Kobold learn numbers, is how many."

Up to four she follows along fine, showing the right number of fingers on her right hand. For five, she switches to one finger on her left hand, and then starts adding fingers on the right again. "Numbers, okay. One two three four five six ... seven, eight."

"Yes. Me and mom and Dr. Deaton and Stiles are four humans kobold met. I have five fingers, ten fingers, two eyes, one nose..."

He goes on, pointing out the relevant body parts, until interrupted.
