To be fair, Derek doesn't get a lot of things. He doesn't get people seventy percent of the time, and the other thirty is made up of the predatory, ugly underbelly that people wish they didn't see. Derek's lived a life constantly being ensared by one siren after the other, watching his packs fall apart around him, so maybe while he doesn't understand compassion or empathy and he certainly doesn't understand teenage girls he understands darkness a little better than most people think.
But he doesn't know what this is about. It could very easily be a teenage girl thing in which case he should wait for Cora and let the two of them do that thing where they hole up in their room and talk (or not talk) and when they emerge again everything it's fine. It's the simplest way of dealing with it, really. But Cora and Peter had taken a trip to the rift version of New York and weren't going to be back until just before the full moon which is over a week away. Right now, Derek is all that Abigail's got.
Isn't that the most ringing endorsement?
He can't just ignore her in there, as much as he may want to. All he can really do is try to get out of her what's wrong, and that's not going to come out by ignoring her. He nudges the door open, ever so slightly, just enough so that he could poke his head around it.]
You sure?
[Because it doesn't sound fine, he's just sayin'.]
