This place means a lot of things for Derek. It means, first and foremost, Cora's guaranteed safety. He'd failed his pack; he'd failed Laura. He wasn't going to fail his other sister, not again. If all he has to do is be in this place and get to know people and maybe, if he's lucky enough, fall in love then it's a pretty worth it price to pay to make sure that Cora stays safe.
He hadn't thought that this place was going to be easy, honestly, when he first arrived. While he hadn't really known what he ought to be expecting, what he's found here is not it, that's for sure. He's got a job he likes with people he likes. He's trying to help Scott McCall once again but maybe this time, now that he knows what he knows about the man Scott will be, it'll be easier and more effective. He's making friends. He's meeting beautiful women who haven't given him any reason at all to believe they mean to kill him instead.
All in all, Derek really likes it here. And it's people like Felicity that contribute to that.
He smiles and then laughs a little. "You definitely should. Maybe I'll say hi first once in a while, now that I know it's okay to," he replies. "You still want to learn how to work out?" he asks with a wink. Honestly, he's still interested in learning the technology, but he isn't going to bring that up unless she does, because it's more than a little embarrassing. "Because if so, then I even have a built in reason to start a conversation which will make my life a hell of a lot easier," he adds, only half-joking.
