Scott took Stiles' hand again. This time not just to take some of the pain, but also to offer up support. This was a lot to be throwing at someone who had just been in a car accident. He was tempted to see if Deaton could just take the kid elsewhere and let him get Stiles well again. But, he couldn't quite get himself to dismiss Gabriel that easily.
Gabriel nodded to Deaton. He was hesitant again to answer Stiles' question, but he did anyway. When Mommy asked a question, you answered. That's what he'd been taught. "You're a wolf," he answered simply. It wasn't how Myles would've answered in a 'no duh' kind of tone. This was still respectful even if the answer was really basic.
Deaton had managed to get Gabe from cowering, to now just sitting on the floor with his back against the wall. He didn't look as afraid anymore, but still about as lost. "Yeah, we were going to the pet store after school to get my second bird. I'd been good." And now he wasn't getting his reward, which sucked. He peeked over at Stiles before confiding even quieter to Deaton. "Mommy got hurt because of me. He's going to be mad I ruined my new coat." Which probably meant he hadn't been good like he'd been trying to be.
