[ Derek observes her quietly. It's hard not to with the way she's fidgeting. He can smell the anxiety coming off her in waves and he feels really bad about being the reason for it at the moment, but he can't help her if he doesn't know enough to try. This is a conversation he'd really rather be having somewhere private, but even Derek knows that he can't just ask a woman to come to his private residence or invite himself to hers when he towers over her, outweighs her by at least a hundred pounds, and is all but a stranger to her. This will have to do.
The more she talks, the more it sounds familiar. When he gives in to the wolf, all that matters is what's right in front of him and instincts take over where a human mind would normally be inhibited. ]
It's harder when you like how it feels. It's harder when it feels liberating to give in.
[ The statement is spoken as though it comes from experience because it does. ]
Have you ever lost control because you felt really happy?
[ If it's tied to her emotions, that means she can channel the good ones just as easily as she can channel the negative ones, once she gets the hang of it, so maybe practice should come from a positive place. Derek personally could think of a few things to pull from if he were in her shoes, but he doesn't know what her childhood was like. He doesn't know a whole lot about her at all, so he can't really guide that. All he can do is ask. ]
