Derek laughs at that. He doesn't know Buffy super well, but he likes to think he knows her well enough to know that she'll never do that. "Yeah, right," he replies, sounding as amused by the idea of it as he actually is. They're both completely aware of the fact that Buffy, like Derek, is not the type for slowing down or taking it easy when there are people who need protecting.
"Okay, cool, I'll let him know, then," Derek replies, nodding. It's good to know that at least whatever is going on there is still on the positive end of the spectrum. There's nothing worse than being caught in the middle of two friends, especially if they ask you to take sides and even more especially if you live with one but would side with the other if it came down to it. His relief in the fact that Buffy says he can bring Alcide is more selfish than anything else.
The relief Buffy feels at hearing that Derek's only talking about Alcide's friend and not some woman he's decided to take up with in Buffy's absence is plenty visual and Derek offers her a little knowing smile. "Right, yeah, I couldn't remember her name. Zee," he confirms. "Yeah tell me about it. The thing is...that's something I could do to someone back home. I can't do it here and I honestly wouldn't do it anyway because it's really dangerous. Which makes me wonder how safe what happened to us actually is, in the long run." He looks more serious then, smile melting away. "What kind of lasting effects we're going to suffer beyond the memories themselves, I mean," he admits, lowering his voice. "I don't like it for a lot of reasons, but that's one of the bigger ones."
