[Knowing everything about everything =/= living. It just means knowing a lot of things. And Cora doesn't really know the difference quite yet. All she's ever done is try and survive.]

Whatever you say.

[She'd rather have him than a book. She gets that he's trying to prepare her just in case, but her brother is a much better source.]

[engender]

[ It may not be, but knowing is half the battle.

And when he can be there, he will be. He's not leaving any time soon.

While she takes a shower, he checks in on Scott, finally answering a text he'd left days ago. Whoops. ]

[impetere]

[You really need to learn to keep up with your phone, big brother. But moving on.

Cora emerges a little while later, grabbing her jacket from where she left it the day before and slipping it on.]

Ready to go?

[engender]

[ Cora is every bit of a priority. Yes, Scott falls under the priority column, but farther down. Scott knows if it's an emergency not to text. And if he calls and it goes to voicemail, he should leave a message. Or, in the event of a real, honest to god emergency, Stiles is allowed to indundate his phone with inane texts to get his attention. File this under the only time Stiles will ever be allowed to do this. (Any other time and his phone will be crushed.)

After a few back and forth's, Malia adjusting well and something about Malia and Stiles Derek just doesn't care about (teenage relationships), Cora has returned. ] Yeah. [ He's up then, grabbing his keys and wallet.

All the radio plays is Spanish music Derek doesn't mind. Right now, it sounds as if Derek and Cora are driving through a lively Quinceanera. ]

[impetere]

[She actually knows most of the words to this one, drumming his fingers lightly against her leg as they drive. Sometimes it feels like she thinks more in Spanish than in English, but she still can manage fairly well in both. She had to learn to adapt, one way or another.]

So what'd you have in mind?

[engender]

That cafe opens around eleven, I thought we'd eat there, then pick up food for the week. [ No reason not to spend as much time in town as they can. While also keeping a low profile. It's a balancing act. There's also Skyping with Peter, but Derek's sure he was joking when he told them they could if they wanted. Derek moreso only talks to Peter when need be. When he's in town, anyway. ] Anything you want to do?

[impetere]

[She glances around as they drive, before considering.]

They Dios de Los Muertos festival is starting soon. There's probably a lot of stuff in town.

[engender]

It's big down here. We can check it out. [ Whatever Cora wants. ]

[impetere]

[Well, she does want. She usually does something for her mom at least, and now she can do something for Laura too.]

Sounds good.

[engender]

[ Derek will take part as well. They can light candles. ]

Yeah. [ He smiles, quietly, giving her a look. ] Is there anyone you want to see? [ He doesn't know if she made any real friends, but if she did, he doesn't want to stand in the way of that. ]

[impetere]

[She pauses, before giving a bit of a shrug.]

I think anyone I knew has moved on by now.
