IN PERSON;
I'm not saying that you owe Erica shit. I'm just saying...I do. I'm not asking you to be enthusiastic, but just...can you trust my judgement here? I'm not asking her to hang out with you guys or you guys to hang out with her, but you know, sometimes it really sucks being the perpetual third, fifth, seventh, whatever wheel to the rest of you and I don't...you know, have to feel that way when I'm with Erica. That's literally all. ...and you know there's a big difference between Erica and Deucalion. Following Derek's leadership and being loyal to him when he wanted to kill you and actually killing a shitload of people are different things. Literally all I'm asking is to just...not feel judged for it. That's all.

I don't want to fight with you, you're one of my best friends, Lydia.
