It's nice to have someone they can trust here, someone they're comfortable with. When she first met Derek, she wouldn't have put money on her person being him, but she's really glad it's worked out this way.

"Yeah, yeah," she mumbles, still not pleased with the turn of events, but he's right. It could absolutely be worse. They're actually about the same age, but she doesn't mind Derek thinking of her like a little sister. She's never been a younger sibling. It's nice. He's certainly become a de facto big brother.

"I didn't eat much soylent either, but I did have a lot of coffee. Caffeine doesn't usually do much for me." Caffeine doesn't do much for her when she's a slayer because she metabolizes it too quickly for it to do much. She forgets she doesn't have that same metabolism here. "I used to drink it by the gallon at work." When she was a barista, or at least it had felt like it.

He whirls and she tightens her arms, not paying so much attention to whether or not she's strangling him as she had been. "Yeah...a shadow, right? But we just came off the elevator. Were they watching for us? Maybe it's just...someone like us." Someone prowling around after curfew.
