Derek growls in response, a low, irritated rumble. It really isn't Stiles' fault, and he shouldn't be taking it out on him, but this is the first lead, the first hint of a lead he's had since Erica and Boyd disappeared and he couldn't make anything of it. It was just taunting him, rubbing his nose in the fact that they have his betas and he's too incompetent to be able to do anything about it... in the fact that he's so incompetent they chose to run in the first place. Anything to get away from him. Tacking on speculation about Peter's likely plans just irritates him that much more.
"If he wasn't too weak to take on anyone stronger than you right now I'm sure he would be," he snarls in return. It's not something he likes to think about, that Peter, even as screwed up as he is, might choose to kill him for his power, the way he'd killed Laura. He wants him to be getting better, but he can't afford to even hope, let alone expect for it to happen. "But right now he's more interested in not dying a second time, permanently, than in actively trying to fuck me over."
