i was so confused HELLO BITTY DEREK

[redstandard]

[...Is he answering her?] Can you understand me? [FASCINATED] Whoa--that's so cool! Oh my god, okay, um. If you don't know where Scott is then maybe you can help me, I got really, really, really, really lost, and my mom's gonna be real scared if I don't get home in time for dinner, plus she's making macaroni and that's like my favorite thing in the whole world.

Can you help me...?

IT IS SO HARD TO PICK ICONS ON THE PHONE

[ Twitching his ears at her exiplanation, he listens attentely before he moves, nudging his nose into her hip to turn her around. Another nudge to the small of her back to encourage her, and he starts walking forward to lead her along.

When he gets a few paces ahead, he lets out a low chuff, then jerks his head. Follow him. ]

[redstandard]

Oh--um, okay.

[Wow, it even looked like he listened to everything she said. Stiles lets the wolf push her around a little, giggling when he pushes his nose in her back, and she takes a couple of steps forward, still talking.]

I don't think you're a K9 dog, I think you're a wolf! I mean, you gotta be a wolf, cause you're like huge. Mom taught me about wolves in my kindergarten class and she said they're pack animals but you don't have a family, do you? Maybe they do and they're really far away! Do you have brothers and sisters? I wish I had a sister. Or a big brother. But Scott's like my brother!

[triskeles]

[ This girl definitely talks a lot. Derek, however, remains charmed by it rather than annoyed. When she gets on her tangent, he cocks an ear towards her to listen, and make it obvious that he is.

When he answers, it takes him a moment to decide how to go about it. Now that he's got an idea of who she is, he can think of who her mother is as well. There's a slight bob of his head-- yes, definitely a wolf-- but then he pauses and regards her as he walks slowly, making sure she keeps up without any trouble. To answer her question about his siblings, he noses at her, once, before offering a nod. ]

[Talks a lot is kind of an understatement. She stares at him as he responds to her, dropping her left hand to curl slowly in the fur at his ruff, giggling softly at the way he noses at her.]

You have a big family...a pack! A big pack. I guess if I had a pack, it'd be me, and my dad, and my mom, and Scott, and Scott's mom. [And she makes a face.] But not Scott's dad. I'd kick him out and we'd be a big happy family, together. And my dad'd...[What's it called...] he'd be the alpha! Rrrrr.

[triskeles]

[ Not in the least bit bothered by her fingers curling in his hackles, he continues along, making sure that the path he takes is as even as it can be. He's fast, and could catch her, but he doesn't want her to trip anywhere if she snags on a root or a rock or some errant hole.

There's a nod in response to the pack comment, but then he lifts his head a little to look up at her as she talks about her own pack. With a soft snort, he rumbles back at her in confirmation. He's sure the officer would be a good alpha. ]

[redstandard]

[...Which is a thing she would do, to be completely honest. Stiles keeps her fingers curled in his fur and even reaches her other hand forward to scratch him behind the ear once, fascinated by her new companion.]

Scott's dad is a butt. [Decisively.] But Scott's like the best ever. I bet he'll be so mad when I tell him I got to hang out with a real live wolf!

[triskeles]

[ Cocking his head back against her hand, he briefly lets his eyes fall half-shut with the scratch, grumbling a contented noise at her before she pulls back.

The grumble turns into a derisive snort at the comment regarding her friend's dad, but he figures he'll take her word for it. And then he puffs up as if he's preening, showing off for her so she has a good story to take back later. ]
