I just wanted to get her dinner. Thought she might be less of a bitch on a full stomach.
[He doesn't need to explain himself but it fills the silence anyway, and he feels down still too. They're just mellow and recovering from their own (literal) wounds. Tate eats another peach before reaching out, running his pinky over a scratch on Derek's bicep. It's just a line of blood, trickled down from something now healed. He retracts his hand, if only to take another candy and this time offer it to Derek.
Tate'll still have to go get tuna, or cat food - or whatever it is he can feed Cobain to try and keep her around. He hears a scrabbling noise outside and figures she's fucked off again. He's been luring her around for a while, up off the beach and into the security of the woods. And he really, really wants to keep up taking care of her but doesn't want to face the scrutinizing conversation of voicing that fact right now.
If Derek doesn't take the candy or refuses it, Tate'll still flick it at him.]
She's like a solid ninety percent bitch, but that other ten percent's really sweet when you get to see it. Which you might never do now, after... that - whatever that was. I didn't know you could do that.
