[ Derek answers as quickly as he can, barely even reading the rest of Vampire Dude's message before he sends it out. It feels too much like - pity, maybe, and Derek has to stop that before it gets a chance to grow. ]
I mean - it's more complicated than that. I want a pack. Not like that.
[ Derek's an Alpha. His pack have to be his own, whether they're made to be his through the bite or brought into his pack because he chose them. Going up to another werewolf and asking for their... their friendship, or their time, or their attention, that's just...
He can't get into all that. Can't get into why he needs to be the head of his pack, needs to be independent. So: he diverts. ]
I have one. Back home. Already. They're not here. So.
[ his experience with other wolves has ranged from meaningful and completing to... traumatic and catastrophic. he's never met a vampire, before the man he's talking to now - but he can't imagine they would be any less dangerous than other creatures with big teeth and a penchant for bloodlust. he's not exactly sure how he'll get along with other non-humans. ]
Do you have anyone here from home? Vampires or... otherwise.
[ still can't decide if that's good news or bad news. there's a moment of pausing, typing, backspacing, typing, and backspacing again, and through it, derek decides on "bad". ]
He must be angry, if he's here without his pack.
[ because even though derek isn't chomping at the bit to hang with other werewolves, he is very angry, and he's sure he can't be alone in that. ]
my turn to be slow. trying to get a new design job out of state. ate all my brains!!

[Some vampires do not care about their sires, but even after 2,000 years he only had two.]
At any rate it seems this place seems to bring in an array of supernaturals. We are not alone here.
