To be honest, Malia doesn't really want anything from Derek beyond actually wanting to be around her. She's not desperate enough for friends or family to go chasing after anyone for anything. She doesn't even have to chase after Peter for his attention, though she's still trying to sort out how she feels about that particular thing, and needless to say it's Complicated. But the fact of the matter is, she doesn't particularly care how Derek feels about Peter.

She cares about Derek actually wanting to hang out with her, and not just hanging around because she's supposedly family. So far, the impression she's been getting is that's not what Derek wants.

"I don't know about that." Scott doesn't talk about Derek, even if he probably should have called him by now. "I'm just saying you haven't exactly been around to know what I do or don't care about."
