Derek's eyebrows lift again. That's actually kind of impressive if she's speaking in a literal sense. "Cool..." He pauses for a moment, as if to decide whether or not he should ask before giving in to the temptation anyway.
"Will you just never be able to do it, or do you think you can once you and Lady have the proper chance to bond?" he asks, curious. Usually he's the one on the receiving end of probing questions because someone is fascinated by what he's saying about what he is and can do. It's kind of a nice change to be on the other side of the conversation.
Shaking his head, Derek smiles. "No, I think you have. You'd be surprised what I can wrap my head around, these days. I think you might actually be the first woman I've ever met who's ever said anything remotely in that vein. Usually the responses I get are fear or fascination, but never something so casual and understanding. It's nice." And it is, he thinks, as he finishes up his own box belatedly. It doesn't look as nice as Sansa's but it doesn't look a mess, either. He'll get the hang of it.
