[ Derek finds himself enjoying this, her company, their solitude away from the rest of the captives here, even if it is against his better judgement; it's not as if he's really ever figured out a balance with it anyway.
But she's safe, definitely not a threat, and the best part is that although he may be an alpha, not unlike Scott, he's not her alpha, which helps him to relax around her. He doesn't have any real control over her, even if he can sense that his presence help, and he finds comfort in that, in that he can't do or say anything that might put her in danger, or at least nothing that she can't fight against him over.
The tune makes him glance over with interest; it's nothing he's heard before, but it's nice to fill in the silence, the last of his tension slipping away. They'll be okay here, he decides, at least for the time being. ]
We'll make do. [ He's accepting that there's not much choice here, but that's okay, he's used to living on the bare essentials. ] Tomorrow, I'll go out and see what I can hunt down.
