"Really," he confirms giving a little shrug of his shoulders as sort of a "whatcha gonna do?" gesture. She suggested coffee, he wanted to get to know her, so here he is. At least he enjoys the smell of coffee, since he's drowning in it.

She says she likes shopping and poking around the Internet and Derek winces a little. Shopping doesn't sound like something he'd like but then again, maybe it wouldn't be so bad if he wasn't being stared at. The last time he really went shopping was when he had to replace the wardrobe he left in Brooklyn when he'd come to Beacon Hills to find Laura. He'd gotten let out of jail and made the mistake of immediately going to the store to get what he needed to lock himself away in solitude to grieve for a while but neglected to realize he'd been all over the newspapers and local news stations as a suspect in his sister's murder.

He hadn't enjoyed that particular shopping trip and hasn't tried it again since. Thank God for grocery delivery. Here, he's going to have to do that, but no one knows who he is. Maybe it won't be so bad.

But the technology bit, that's always going to be outside his wheelhouse. "Oh man, I hate the Internet. Mostly because I don't like things that make me feel especially stupid. ...I'm really bad at technology. It took me a week to figure out how to use the most basic functions of my first smartphone and I missed the stupid flip phone for months before I finally gave in," he admits with a laugh.
