Weeks pass, and he doesn't catch a single card.
When cards become active, he goes looking. They just disappear before he gets there.
He's getting worried, and he's not sure he's satisfied with Kero's explanations.
He tries to focus on school.
"Well I'd love to play with magic but I'm not sure it'll be good for your budding friendship if I inflict you on each other any further today," he says, kissing Alistair on the cheek.
"It was nice working together like this. Hopefully we can do it again sometime."
They do not snuggle. Snuggling would be adorable and silly. They hold each other in a totally poised and manly way.
Alistair is good at snuggling.
Stiles turns on the police scanner, that he has in his car for some reason.
-vanished entirely. This rash of car theft could be connected to the recent changes in dealership regulations-
"So, question: why do I not get magic?"
Yeah screw that Sadde is not going to be manly while snuggling him. So much snuggle.
"Some people are born with magic from nonmagical parents," Kero shrugs. "But not many."
"Did you mention that before? The part where one of my parents is magical?"
"Okay."
That seems to be that!
They arrive soon at Alistair's house.
Fine, a good night kiss.
Then he actually has to go, really truly Sadde, please do restrain yourself.
"Thanks. I know he doesn't like me, but it was nice to get everyone working together."
