[ Without really meaning to, Derek leans into the touch a little. He isn't really sure that this place is a good fit; he's looking for something that most other people here are not, after all. Derek isn't actually planning on going home unless the city officials grant his wish or tell him that he's not contributing enough and kick him out. So, if by chance he can't stay forever, while he's here, he might as well make the most of it, right? The best way he knows how which, unfortunately for the women who might be interested around him, is glacially slow.
But ideally? Ideally, Derek wants to find someone with whom he can eventually build a family. It wouldn't surprise him to know that Claire isn't interested in being that woman; it wouldn't surprise him to learn that anyone here didn't feel up to that particular task or have any interest in it, even in the future, if he's honest. He has a feeling he's probably one of the only people here with that particular end goal. Story of his life.
He smiles a little at her response and reaches to take her hand. ]
Yeah, well...most people can't turn into a wolf and run around on four legs in the woods at will, either, so I'm kind of okay with being weird in that regard.
