[ this is post everything, dealing with auggie and jenna and isaac's broken hand. that's when derek finally can break off and sniff remus out, because remus is sensible and follows orders and he'll be here.

so surprise, derek appears at your elbow remus. what do. ]

[He sucks in a sharp breath, his heart hammering-- but it's only Derek, thank god, and Remus relaxes soon.]

What's wrong?

Isaac hurt his hand. I had to break it.

[ just a day in the life. ]

How long have you been here?

Five minutes. Maybe more-- Derek, broke his hand how? What's going on?

He was trying to pry open a door.

[ still frustrated by that tbh ]

The ship is broken. They're working on it.

[He nods.]

But everyone's all right. Or-- I mean, not all right, but-- god, I thought someone was attacking.

For now, everyone's alright.

[ for now. derek's not an optimist, news at 11 ]

I don't think there's anyone attacking.

[He relaxes a bit, though his mouth remains tight.]

Why did he need to go into his room so badly? I mean, certainly it's an inconvenience, but-- well, it's not as if this will last forever.

It wasn't his room. It belonged to a girl named Alayne.

[ jesus isaac you get around. ]

[His eyebrows raise.]

Well.

[ remus don't even say it derek is trying so hard to ignore it. ]

His hand was broken. Healed wrong. I had to reset it.

And you all heal instantly, yes? So he's all right.

Injuries dealt by an alpha heal slower.

[ which is bad news for isaac but it could be worse. derek knows that for certain, things can always be worse. ]

But yes. It'll heal.

Merlin. And it won't scar, will it?

[There's just a hint of jealousy in his voice.]

No.

[ but remus scars, doesn't he. derek's eyes flick to remus' face and away, supressing a sigh. ]

We never do

It makes it far easier to hide, doesn't it?

[He reaches up, slipping his fingers against a scar on his cheek with a smile.]

They're impossible to hide. No make-up will cover them, no spell can hide a cursed mark.

[ cursed. not a gift, a curse, and it sits wrong with derek, but he can't argue it, not like this. ]

It shouldn't be like that.

[ it's the closest derek gets to i'm sorry. ]

No.

[He shrugs, suddenly shy, and glances away.]

In any case: I'm glad he's all right now.

[ the shift of derek's shoulders says, yes, me too ]

What about you?

What-- am I all right? Certainly. A bit shaken, but no worse for the wear.

And Sirius?

[ so, so begrudgingly why you bring your sassy friend, remus. ]

[He smiles a little, amused despite himself at the continuing idiotic rivalry between his friends.]

Fine as well. I'm sure he'll be pleased you asked after him.

[ derek almost laughs. almost. ]

I'm sure.

[ oh right now what to talk about how does one socialize. ]

[He smiles, though, finally relaxed enough to do this around Derek.]

You know, you still have yet to tell me whether you want me to cook you more meals or not.
