Closing his eyes and trying to get comfortable on an uncomfortable mattress, Derek takes a deep breath. He doesn't really know if he can trust this guy yet and that alone would normally make him say something rude like maybe Alcide should mind his own goddamned business. After Vision was arrested, Derek's learned that he needs to be more careful with what he says and to whom. He just has to hope that wherever they took the red man, he doesn't run off at the mouth about Derek talking about memories over glitches; werewolves over humans.

But this chill mood has overtaken him and loosened his lips. In too many ways, really, but at least with Alcide it's just talking.

"We explore," he says with a shrug. "So far we haven't gotten caught. Can't say that'll be true forever, but for now? We've been pretty lucky, so far." His eyes open for a moment and he looks back at the other man. "Tell her to wake me up when it's time? She'll know what you mean," he asks. If Buffy could wake him up before the vents open, so he could put on the gas mask, then he'll be fine. If she can't or forgets, she's on her own for the night.
