Noah pulled a face at the idea of fishing. "Only problem with that is you might actually catch something and then you have to either drag a hook out of it's mouth and toss it back or beat it to death and pretend it tastes good when it's eaten," he said with a shudder. "I'm thinking I should work until I die, if that's the only option," he told Stiles with a chuckle. He couldn't help the crinkled smile of pride that smacked him in the face when his son handed him the compliment about his joining the FBI. He wasn't totally certain he deserved the credit, seeing as Stiles had seemingly raised himself most of the time. "So we hope something grisly enough happens that the feds get called in?" Noah asked with a small smile, "and as wrong as it sounds to hope for it, I kinda do wanna work with you too," he said with a nod. "Kid, you got a whole lot of shit from me, the crazy's only the start!" he laughed.
"Face it," Noah told him, "the planet's fucked and so are we, so let's just have a good Christmas, huh?" he didn't honestly believe that and his inner hippie wanted nothing more than to find a recycled tree and have a vegan epic dinner, but meat tasted far too good for all that and he doubted there were many recycled trees. "Nah, it's not wrong, but it's pretty fucked up," he said giving Stiles a quick hug. "Weird is kinda what we do now so might as well embrace it or it'll make you even more crazy." Noah pulled a face and shook his head, "ouch. I do hope that wasn't the voice of a guy keeping his woman chained to the kitchen sink or I may have to make you do the dishes on your own," he said giving his son a gentle cuff.
"So what's so abnormal about Cora Hale?" Noah asked, adding all the definition on her name that Stiles had. "Not sure I can handle another full-time job if Scotts screwing up that much," he said with a sad shake of his head. "Keep up the good work, kid, you've got a good one there." And from his conversation with Lydia he suspected she felt the same about Stiles, which made his heart swell a little with happiness for both of them.
