i got mad, ok? i don't wanna talk about it because i know its stupid i'm fine now. and i got a cool photo out of it one i didn't intend on showing anyone
[ seems like the most sensible assumption to make, though derek runs the risk here of being wrong and giving tate something else to be mad about. it's always hard to know how to toe the line between helping and prying, when it comes to tate. sometimes he needs a push, sometimes he needs to be left alone, and derek "arguably gets teenagers killed after failing to go to a therapist" hale still hasn't mastered that balance, even after two years of being here. ]
We can still talk about it, if you have more to say. Or about anything else, if there's something on your mind.
[ They're falling back into the old steps they always fall back into - Derek tries to help, says something stupid, Tate gets pissed off, the air gets sour. Derek goes quiet, until the photo comes through, then uses it as a distraction. ]
