Derek tried not to smile too much, even if he wasn't sure why, just pressing his lips together and giving a partial shrug. Seemed he was. He didn't really want to distract from the view either. The woods in Everdale were beautiful. He gave her a little nod, looking around a little bit. "This is my favorite place here. It's really soothing."
He nodded a little bit, looking confused for a moment until her voice broke through and he had to. His hands lifted, pressing firm against his head for a moment, certain that even a human would suffer through that. As the sound ended, Derek took a breath, blinking a few times and wondering when that had happened. He'd missed a lot apparently.
It wasn't the time to think about it and he took a few quick steps up beside her, ducking down and resting a hand between her shoulders. "Hey...are you all right?" He frowned a little, leaning to try and see her face, unsure if that was normal or just a really bad sign.
