( It became unmanageable for Derek, fearing that if he didn't reach out something might happen to a person he doesn't know. That the town could swallow him and his worries whole. )
It's Derek. From what I hear this is just the tip of the iceberg of debasement. All because of a child with overwhelming power. I should apologize for whatever it is you're feeling or, experiencing. Trust me, I'd rather you not. I'd rather I'd not.
( it's been so unmanageable for klaus he's considered breaking every bone in his body in hopes that such emotions and impulses might be dulled in wolf form. it's a prospect that seems more and more inviting. )
I'm thankful for the gesture, though regretfully I do believe it will start and end as such.( a beat, and he adds: )It's Klaus.
( Derek hasn't yet achieved his evolved form. He's far too damaged for that. He hasn't learned. He's only failed and been betrayed. By everyone, it feels like. Have fun feeling that, Klaus.
And maybe a twinge of anxiousness as Stiles fits in his sleep. No. No, he seems fine. Cool. )
An interesting theory, but I'd rather not. I can't imagine giving into such foreign impulses would result in anything but disaster.( personal or otherworldly, in point of fact. )
I don't disagree. This connection isn't harmless. Nothing in this dream is. There are drugs down here, disguised as temporary power upgrades. People injected themselves and from what I can tell, they're addicted. Maybe it is better we try to ignore our string at all costs. Clearly, we have things we want to keep from one another.
( the presence of addictive drugs is hardly an imaginative addition to whatever hell half of deerington is in — but it is a notable addition to the obstacles and twists this place seems to be infamous for subjecting its captives to. klaus puts it on the list. )
Clearly.( it's a reference to derek's consistent cloud of dismay and angst. (no matter klaus has his own hovering over his head.) klaus just barely stops himself from asking about it, just barely stamps down the impulse to help and to fix. for a moment he considers perhaps it might be a distraction — but of course it wouldn't. it would be surrendering to artificial feelings. )Until this is over, then.

Is that what this is. A gesture.

How else would you define an apology for something you have no control over?
no subject
It doesn't need a definition.
Maybe it would be easier if we were in the same place.
( Or would it be harder. )
