[Tate nods back, not as exuberant but still attentive. If he gives himself enough justification he can probably talk himself into believing it too. But as it stands right now, Tate has words as his weapons and telling Derek what he wants to hear? It's what Tate wants, in a misguided way. He wants to be what Derek wants him to be, so telling him all this? Agreeing, laying down the premise of plans... it isn't a lie. It isn't something done strictly out of malice. In this moment he can believe the idea in front of him. In a moment come tomorrow, maybe not so much.
That's just the thing. Tate's lead by feelings, emotions, his own desires first and foremost. And when he's appealing to more than one person simultaneously, those will shift like the current of the ocean. He'll tell Kavinsky everything he wants to hear tomorrow. Derek again the day after that.]
It'll be hard, but I think I'd like that.
[He sips his beer, then runs his tongue over his teeth.]
What else would I be missing out on? Or like, am I going to wanna chew on bones and shoes and shit? What else is there to expect? No more... no more what? Chocolate? What else is bad for do- for wolves?
no subject
