Someone has to keep me sane during the council meetings, because Deaton's certainly not doing the job and it's not Scott's responsibility.
[ And he would get lonely. He talks to some people, talks to Scott frequently, Isaac, Erica, Boyd. Even Stiles' father and one of the kingsguard that works under him, Parrish. But it's nothing compared to how frequently he interacts with Stiles, and how terribly he needs his emissary there.
Deaton is helping Scott, is his emissary. In training or not, Stiles has become his. And he holds onto his hand now, rather than letting him go anywhere. ]
