"Okay. Thanks for that, kobold. Anything else I should know?" 

"They don't speak English fluently yet, I've been teaching them." 

"Sounds like a really funny sitcom plot for all of three minutes. What's your strategy?"

"I don't really have one."

"Right. Okay, if the kobold doesn't speak any other languages, we can't just use Google translate. I'll see if we have any picture books at home, I guess." 

"Yeah, uh. I mentioned this to your dad but maybe the kobold should stay with you for a while. I think the cops are going to be in and out of here for a while."

He turns to the lurking kobold.

"Kobold want go Stiles home? Many humans will come here, will be difficult to hide." 

She looks dubiously from Scott to Stiles and back. "Scott okay here no person?"

"Scott okay alone."

"Yeah, Scott will be okay. Should we go?"

"Yeah. See you later, kobold."

"Okay." She brings her blanket with her and follows Stiles.

They go to his jeep.

The cops have not come back yet; they'll be waiting for the sheriff. 

"You want help getting in? Ask if you need help to understand."

"I okay, thanks." She teleports up to the back seat.

They drive to the Stilinski house.

"Okay. Food is here, water is here, beds are upstairs. If you want to understand something, you can ask questions. Do you have questions?"

"If person kill victim and I listen, then I what?"

"You are a witness. If a person kills another person, then they are a killer, a murderer. Yesterday you were a witness to an attempted murderer." 

He rummages through a closet. 

That's not what she was trying to ask but okay.

"Yesterday I witness to an attempted murder, I magic victim Scott home. If tomorrow I witness to an attempted murder, I what?"

"Can you capture the killer? Hold her, trap her, make her stay, not go. And tell me where she is?"

"Maybe? If I magic-sense place, then I can go-magic person place."

"I can take you to the attempted murder place if you need. Ah, found it!"

He flourishes a picture book with a smiling cartoon banana on the front.

The book contains many words, some familar and unfamiliar. 

There is a banana. He likes all his friends. Apple, orange, grape, and lemon. Apple is sad a lot, but very nice. Orange is always happy and moves around a lot. Grape is alone and misses her mom and dad. Banana cannot see lemon anywhere! 

"Ask questions if you need."

She looks dubiously at the unfamiliar object and then basically ignores it.

"I magic-sense attempted murder place; I can take you to the attempted murder place. If I hear murder, then I go, and I take victim where, and I take murderer where?"

"You understand awake and asleep? We need murderer asleep. Can magic do asleep?"
