She nods. "Yeah." She presses her lips together. "Things are...not good right now. Between Specials and Alphas." She's feeling pretty vulnerable now and hard pressed to protect the people she loves. It's part of the reason that she's feeling vulnerable too. Yeah, she knows how Derek feels. She feels the same way.

She shakes her head, smiling. "No. I've got another person with me. We trade shifts and that sort of thing." She's going to run herself ragged quite honestly. She hesitates and her voice drops in volume. "And if you're interested, I'm going to be patrolling most nights after lights out." Because she will feel guilty if anything happens to anyone else while she was snug in her bed, or if something gets put into effect while she's asleep.

"I sort of figured that out," she sighs and pinches the bridge of her nose. It's a mirror of something Giles used to do; she definitely learned it from watching him. "You too?" she asks, glancing at him, concern in her expression.

She tilts her head a little in a sort of shrug then smiles. "I miss you both too. Look out for each other, okay? And I'm going to be around. We can always do the exploring thing." In fact, she wouldn't mind patrolling through the halls at night with both her boys.
