[ stiles doesn't back away from her when she steps closer. instead, he looks at her, silently, and for a long time. he thinks about all the risks he's ever taken, in the last two years of his life especially.

he thinks about all of the times he's found himself face to face with the barrel of a gun. all the times he's looked a predator in the eyes. he thinks about how he literally sacrificed his life, once, gave it in place of his father's, knowing there would be risks, both during at after.

this is not a risk, by comparison. in the face of everything else stiles has been through and gone up against, this is easy. this is nothing.

stiles blinks, lowers his gaze for only a moment. he likes rosalind. he really, truly does. he enjoys her company, appreciates her attitude, even if sometimes their stances on certain topics clash. he respects her, but— ]

I can't. [ he looks up, offers her the weakest attempt at a smile, lips closed, mouth tight. ] I'll be fine.

[ he's always fine. his headstone is going to read "i'm fine". ]

At least do me the courtesy of not lying to me, Stiles.

[She won't insist on it. He seems intent on his decision, and she won't argue pointlessly. But she does think this a mistake, and refuses to think otherwise. But she'll be waiting, if and when he changes his mind.]
