Okay, that look... Derek knows that look. He's gotten it a million times, but usually from Peter when he asks a stupid question. He almost backpedals for it, embarrassed, but instead, she offers to show him and that makes him feel a little bit better. Honestly, he could sound like the biggest idiot that ever lived right now and he'd never know it because the context of the conversation is largely over his head. But, she's pretty and he's interested in what interests her. This is it, evidently.

"Yeah, cool, I'd like that," he replies. Then, he snorts a little, rolling his eyes and picking up his coffee again. "Yeah, well...we can't all be technological geniuses. Life would be pretty boring for you if we were, wouldn't it? With no one to teach anything new to, and all," he jokes back.

His eyebrows lift at her response. "Yeah, but if you were keeping us digitally safe, whether you were working for the city or not, wouldn't that kind of be protecting the little guy?" he asks. "But for what it's worth? I'm like that, too. More interested in protecting the little guy. Just...in a different way."

He can't help missing that her cup is empty and Derek looks over to see that, for a change, there's no line. "You want a refill?" he offers, "my treat?"
