For all that Isaac had been in this place for so long, in Marrowood for what felt like a lifetime, in Grimoire for slightly less, but no less traumatic, he was resolutely glad to have some friends around again. He was adapting to company again, trying not to let that annoying creep of anxiousness at wondering if they'd be snatched away like everyone else.
It was strange how calming and stabilising Derek's presence was, considering the state of their relationship in Beacon Hills, but with distance came understanding, and Isaac found it a lot easier to let go of his anger when Erica was right there and bubbling with her own brand of nervous excitement at times. Isaac had really missed her.
"So, we're totally okay with this. Totally. I mean, it's just a forest. Or woods. It's like nothing. They don't even have a big evil tree here like at home." Enough bad stuff happened on the Preserve, they were definitely equipped to handle this. They had this, they were fine.
"We should just go for it." The point was to find some of that same cocky energy they had when Derek had first turned them. When Erica was high off her own power and confidence and Isaac was running on ego. They could get a little of that back and give this place the middle finger. "C'mon, we've got this."
