[He shrugs even though Dean can't see him. He isn't aiming to be charming. He doesn't know crap about being charming. Scott is charming. Stiles is...Stiles.
Stiles isn't offended by the question even if it sounds more than a bit accusatory. He's been offered power before -- the kind of power that Scott has. The kind that Scott never wanted to begin with. He turned it down flat. These days he's torn between wishing he'd taken the bite and thankful that he didn't. Wishing he had because if he had, the Nogitsune never would have been an issue to begin with. Glad that he didn't because at the end of the day, he doesn't want to be a werewolf or a nogitsune or a banshee or any thing else. He just wants to be himself.
He doesn't want leverage over Dean. Doesn't want it over anyone else either, with the possible exception of Peter Hale, but that's a whole separate issue. But Dean doesn't know that.]
I think we both know that there's no way I can answer that question that's gonna put your mind at ease. I could sit here and tell you it's because you don't know me and if you did you'd feel better, but that'd be a lie. You'd probably feel worse, actually.
[Blunt honesty here.]
I'm no saint. Pretty far from it. But as far as my deal goes...there's three other people on this ship working for the same thing I am. So it's not all on me. It's not all about the deal for me.
