[ shortly after peter comes out on the network, cora decides to give adam a very angry call. she'd resort to text, but adam's a little too flippant sometimes to possibly take her seriously. and this is a matter of incredible significance. she'd lost someone of great importance to her before; she's none too keen to see other people she cares about end up six feet under, too. (or half-buried; he hadn't respected laura enough to properly bury her.) ]
My uncle's here. [ out of all the family members, it's him. it's clear cora's angry by how clipped her own tone is. if that could convey everything she wants to say to him, it'd make this a hell of a lot easier. but adam knows nothing about her family — that's her fault. ] His name's Peter Hale. I don't know what your social calendar's like, but if you talk to him, don't trust a word that comes out of his mouth.
[ she has, several times over, and she's been fucked over for it. ]
[Given how out of the loop Adam is with his own family affairs, it's no surprise that he's even more ignorant about Cora's. Family is family business, as far as he's concerned, and when you're on the outside of that, you don't ask questions. She's been missing a brother--that, he at least knows, and that he respects as a private kind of grief.
Her reason for calling, though? That's something completely different. This Peter guy is really popular.]
... Okay. Bad uncle. I'm starting to get the picture.
[Getting a warning like this not once or twice, but three times? Adam's getting the message loud and clear.]
You know the rest of the guys from Beacon Hills, don't you. Your friends said something like that about him, too. What's the deal?
[What's the deal with your family? he is what he really wants to hear. Family drama isn't a concern for the general public, but when it has to do with monsters? Adam's happy to get nosy in that case.]
