[He might have thought to lock it if he hadn't been so excited with his news.]

Oh my god! Okay, okay. So maybe this place isn't so bad. I got magic. That's apparently my gifty boon thing for getting my ass handed to me by the invading hoard.

[He pauses, blinking and grinning down at the locket.]

I'm actually living a video game now. I feel like I just leveled up. Now all I need's a familiar. But look. Look!

[He waves around a staff, then points the locket at the books that had arrived with the staff, symbols emblazoned on them and looking exactly like what they were; spell books.]

Dude, I'm a freaking magician. Wizard? Sorcerer? I don't really know yet, but I can do stuff. See?

[He'd already poured through part of a book and had memorized one incantation. He repeated it, the tip of his staff glowing before the comforter on his bed caught fire.]

Oh... uh, no. No, shit. No, wait I didn't, hey! Hey! Stop. Finito! FLAME OFF! FLAME! OFF!

[He drops the locket and the staff and goes to pull the comforter off to toss in the fireplace. Have fun watching that debacle.]

You are so jealous. I can taste the jelly from here. The peanut butter and jelly goodness that oozes from you. And FYI, that was an accident.

[Hey, wait, are they actually having a decent conversation? GASP]

Yeah, well... that's what they get for trying to make me use one. I'm not a sword guy. No, this... this I can really sink my teeth into.

Right.

[well, stiles is right. he hadn't been good with the sword, but then again-- he really hadn't practiced with it more than once, right? isaac leaves the bit about perseverance alone.]

You have any idea how to train yourself? Like, at all?

I figure it's like any kind of studying. Read the book, do the experiment. Ipso facto. It's not that hard.

[Oh, he was so deluding himself.]

Yeah, okay. I'll believe it when I see it.

[he isn't buying anything you're saying, stiles.]

Show me something you can do without killing anything.

...

[That was a challenge and Stiles was accepting it. He goes over to the books, picking up the top one and flipping through it, chewing his lip as he looks over the list of possibl--]

Okay. Okay, here's one. Just a sec.

[He picks up his staff and looks at the passage again before reading it. Bubbles erupt from the tip of his staff and he waves it around, bubbles filling the room.]

There, see? Totally non-lethal.

[isaac is ... only a little impressed. his brows are raised as he watches, and he's a entranced, in a way. he's never seen magic in his life-- he doesn't count movies or what happens in beacon hills as "magic", just really unfortunate occurrences.]

Huh.

What do you know, Stilinski. That's kind of cool, in a weird, ridiculous way.

[Ooooh, look, Isaac. Watch the pretty bubbles. Stiles was a little distracted by them himself, popping at one with a grin.]

I know, right? There's like, books of this stuff here. And potions. There's a potions book. I wonder if I can make love potions...

[isaac may have been distracted enough to ignore what stiles started to stay, but by the end of it, alarm has washed over his features. he is Not Okay with that idea.]

Do not make a love potion. [and, as if to try and ease stiles off of the idea:] They always end up bad, anyway.

In the movies, sure, but if there's actual magic love potions in these books, that has be mean they work, right?

[Welcome to his logic, Isaac.]

You saying there's no one you want to make your little puppy eyes at?

Not artificially, no.

[he's really not buying your logic, stiles.]

Why? Do you want someone to love you artificially? Because, by all means, go for it, if you do.

Who says it'll be artificial?

Besides, not all of us are blessed with good looks and enhanced reflexes.

Anything that's made from a potion is artificial. It's just a drug that lasts a really, really long time.

[he shrugs, looking away for a moment. wherever stiles is going with this, isaac isn't too sure he wants to be involved.]

I don't know, man. I wouldn't. You're just asking for something bad to happen.

Isaac...

[He rolled his eyes and gave the teenager a look.]

Wow. And here's clear evidence that you don't know me at all. Like, at all.

[Not that Stiles was that surprised. Isaac had tolerated him at best. No reason the other boy should actually bother to get to know him.]

[and he looks right back at him pointedly,]

You're weird and kind of stupid sometimes, but you're smart. That's all I need to know, don't you think?

No. I'd hope you'd realize that I shouldn't need to be the son of the sheriff to not be okay with basically handing out magic roofies to people.

Seriously.

[he cracks a smile,]

You sounded pretty excited about it.

Well, yeah, in theory they're great. And wouldn't be bad to use as a prank at a low dosage or something. Like, making Peter fall in love with a troll or something, sure. That would be hilarious. But I wouldn't ever give it to a girl and then expect--

Just, no. That's not cool. Joke, yes. Actual way to get any play, no.
