[ and that makes her kneejerk protection of Stiles more understandable, too. ]
FROM: gecko.seth@cdc.org
well i like stilinski, even if he needs to turn off his hero switch. he's a good kid. i won't let shit happen to him if i can help it
[ that's part of why he specifically directed him to Elena, not Stefan — Stefan who admitted he didn't eat anybody in the avalanche partly because Seth asked that of him. she's the safe one, relatively speaking. ]
FROM: gecko.seth@cdc.org
i appreciate that, though
[ she was dragged into a supernatural mess, too. figures. life is shit. ]
FROM: gecko.seth@cdc.org
how do you become a banshee, anyway?
[ he isn't sure if he's allowed to ask that question (or even if he wants to know the answer), but he does it, anyway, ever pushing boundaries. he wants to contextualize her situation and in his knowledge of popular media, banshees aren't like werewolves or vampires — venom transfer by bite doesn't make sense. ]

As far as I know, it happened the night I was attacked by a werewolf. Instead of being turned into one myself, he told me it sparked my abilities.

I don't even know if you can be born a banshee, but bleeding out on a lacrosse field can do it apparently.

[ he doesn't know what he expected, but that — that pisses him off. somebody, a guy who knew what he was doing just like Santánico, went after an innocent teenager.

FROM: gecko.seth@cdc.org
jesus you really are tough, martin
no idea how you go from werewolf to banshee though
[ seriously, how the hell does that work out? his texts also take some time. for events that happened over the course of a single day, they're difficult to condense. not to mention, how strange it is to discuss. stefan's the only other person who knows about his brother, though he made some thinly veiled comments to stiles, too. ]

his name is Richie
FROM: gecko.seth@cdc.org
he's not exactly a vampire. he's a culebra. some kind of mayan or aztec shit. just take a vampire and add snakes.
FROM: gecko.seth@cdc.org
this girl Santánico is like the culebra goddess or something. she got in his head, made him hurt people. i just thought he was losing it, y'know?
FROM: gecko.seth@cdc.org
it's complicated, but she tricked us down to her freaky human sacrifice temple. my brother got hurt. she dragged off his half dead body
FROM: gecko.seth@cdc.org
next time i saw him, he looked good as new, except for the goddamn fangs and scales
FROM: gecko.seth@cdc.org
guess she made him her fucking prince of the underworld. reckon she still has her claws in his brain, too

I have no idea either. But he got in my head too.
FROM: martin.lydia@cdc.org
Your brother also sounds like my ex-boyfriend. He was a kanima, which is basically a homicidal lizard. We weren't together when he was fyi.
[ she's getting off topic and he probably didn't need to know that, but they've already passed the point of this being super weird. ]
FROM: martin.lydia@cdc.org
Anyway it sounds Mesoamerican, so I can look into that. I read.

FROM: gecko.seth@cdc.org
lemme guess: a werewolf bit him too?
[ blame everything on werewolves?? ]
FROM: gecko.seth@cdc.org
i just want to know he's making his own choices
[ maybe that's why he left with her, because he isn't richie anymore.

I hope you find out, or your brother breaks free. If Richie is like you I don't think he'll listen for long.

[ but Richie already did monstrous things, he wants to say. he already splattered their record with more blood in a day than years of their careers accumulated — that's not even including their father or the goddamn bank teller, whose eyes were no longer where they belonged. and Seth isn't innocent, either. he may have fired less shots, but he forgave every crime.
maybe the Geckos were monsters all along. ]

stronger than some scrawny jailbait werewolves. i'm flattered
[ completely ignoring that first text, yep. his pep talk with sturmhond was enough of an emotional struggle, no matter how much he wants to grasp at hope. ]

I think we're past that, Seth dear. You were cocky enough to come to me for help.
[And that's no small feat. No one goes to Isha unless it's a good enough deal.]

[ she's figured out seth enough to realize when he wants to back out of the emotional part of a conversation — mainly because she's the same way. she figures he got the message though and that's enough. that it's sitting somewhere his mind now. ]

Oh, so taking care of some penguin should be no problem for you then. Hm?
