Derek grits his teeth and rolls his eyes at Stiles'... not particularly creative recounting of events. But then he waits while Stiles processes the question and actually thinks his way through it. And there it is, the light at the end of the tunnel. Which is, as usual with their lives, the headlight of an oncoming train. It's the second, swifter, response that actually takes Derek by surprise. That and the fact Stiles reflexively includes himself in that 'us'.
"No," he agrees, low and steady and with absolute conviction. Because he wouldn't. There's no way in hell that's happening. "But for now it means I've been right, and they're alive." Not safe, because there's nothing safe about this, but alive. "And we can get them back."
