[Davina watches as the two wolves part ways, before she watches him curl up and smiles.]

That is adorable.

[Freya grins, before nodding. "Thanks for the help."]

Anytime. You know where to find me if you need me.

[And then she crouches down by the wolf as she makes her way out.]

Nice meeting you. Again.

[And with that, off Davina goes.]

[engender]

( He elicits a sound, one of appreciation, but it sounds like the only thing a wolf really can do, like a growl. But, hey, he is now a wolf in front of the Regent of New Orleans, one who knows Scott. Something about turning back, it's peaceful for Derek to stay in this form, that and Freya didn't sign up for a show. )

[wildkingdom]

[Freya bustles about, cleaning up her space, until Malia returns with the bag.]

Is there somewhere he can ... ?

[Freya points to one of the bathrooms in the Abattoir. "Knock yourself out."

Malia nods, before taking the bag and leaving it in the bathroom for Derek to use whenever he's ready.]

[engender]

( the wolf clears its' throat? or sputters, as it follows Malia into the back and into the bathroom where Malia can close the door behind him. but, it's not like this family of weres cares about that. well, Malia and him aren't close. but, Derek has bigger concerns than his naked body.

anyway, it's an easy transformation back into comfortable, tight-fitting clothing before he opens the door again. )

She did it.

[wildkingdom]

She did. How're you feeling?

[He seems like he's good, but she wants to make sure.]

[engender]

... Calm. One with everything again. In touch with my body. Maybe more than before.

( Maybe that's because it just returned. But, he is very aware of everything. )

Freya didn't ask for anything in return. Think that's coming?

[wildkingdom]

Maybe. Or maybe it's not you she wants the favor from.

[She doesn't know how Freya's mind works, she's too straightforward for that.]

You could just ask her.

[engender]

I was going to thank her. After telling Cora I'm okay.

( One thing at a time, as he -- realizes his phone is definitely back with his clothing, he pauses his searching, looking at Malia. )

Maybe in the reverse order. Come on.

[deathlessness]

[Malia nods before following his lead back to the casting room, where Freya is finishing blowing out the candles. She turns to them both with a smile.]

All in order?

[engender]

( He returns, clothed, bag in hand. )

Should I expect to feel this in tune later.

( He's very one with it, right now. )

[deathlessness]

It will wear off after a few days. You'll slide back into something more normal.

[It's just going to take a bit of an adjustment period.]

[engender]

( He likes it. )

This is what it feels like to be a vampire.

[deathlessness]

I ... don't think so. If you were a vampire, I think you'd be much crankier.

[To say the least.]

[engender]

( You've heard of him, then. )

My reputation precedes me, then. ( He just glances to Malia and back. But, forgets that Scott has also been out here, too. And maybe Hayley? ) Thank you, anyway.

[deathlessness]

Of course. Happy to help.

[She straightens to face them.]

Hayley says you're welcome to continue staying the bayou while you're here. Malia knows the way.

[engender]

( While he's here. Will he be needed here? He's stayed in worse, too. )

Thanks. I will.

( And not one to beat around the bush. )

Hayley mentioned you might need something from me.

[deathlessness]

[She tips her head to the side curiously, studying him.]

Not now. At least, not yet. But I can't say that being in contact with a wolf of your caliber wouldn't be beneficial.

[engender]

( speaking of, he retrieves his phone from his pants he'd ruined and stuffs the rest back into the bag. )

If anything comes up, Hayley can get in touch.

[deathlessness]

Fantastic.

[Honestly, she probably won't ask for anything, but she knows how hard it is to believe that a Mikaelson witch other than Hope is the altruistic type. If it's easier for there to be a quid pro quo, then she'll give the illusion as such.]

Enjoy New Orleans.

[And then she'll leave him and Malia to carry on with their day.]

[engender]

( He's just going from what he's been told, but, when she takes her leave, Derek pulls up Cora's name and dials. )

[impetere]

[Whatever she's doing, she answers quickly as soon as she sees his name on the screen. If she's helping with vamp training, it probably comes off as awkward, but she clearly doesn't care.]

Hey. How'd it go?

[engender]

( Stiles can distract himself. It's a superpower. He also can hear both sides of the conversation. )

Hey. It's done. I'm unbound. How's it going in Mystic Falls?

[impetere]

It's fine.

[It's quiet, which is probably better than not, if any of the stories she's been told are true.]

Stiles hasn't killed anyone or himself yet, so. Progress.

[engender]

Let's not hold our breaths.

( Stiles isn't murderous, but he is now deadly )

Barring anything changing, we have a return flight in a few days.

[impetere]

Okay. No need to rush back, though. Everything's pretty quiet.

[The hunters probably aren't going to be coming back to Mystic Falls anytime soon, at least.]
