And that, Derek suspected, was the first honest thing out of Stiles' mouth that afternoon. "It's okay to not want to do everything I want to do. What's not okay is the way you handle things. You need to talk to me when you have a problem. This whole...avoiding me until I confront you strategy you have doesn't work. You don't like that I confront you, and I don't like having to confront you about things you should be talking to me about in the first place."
Which left the question of Stiles' punishment. He hated this part. "You're still going to have to be punished." He rubbed his hand over the back of his neck, wracking his brain, and then shrugged. "You can still interact with Allison, but you're forbidden to hang out with the slaves in the cabins for the next two weeks. And you will report to my room on Thursday morning for training, and whenever else I feel like summoning you. Understood?"
