Tea cups and other things (For Hippolyta)

Derek, shortly after taking care of his problem in the nexus, and after a shower to get all the...gunk out, shows up at the pub

And there she is, poking her head out of the back office, waving him over. C'mon to the office, Derek. She'd rather do this in private.

Derek stands, picking the towel up carefully, and makes his way over.

He nods at her when he reaches the door; he's not sure what to say, really. He isn't angry, but he's not...okay with this either. Or something. He doesn't even know.

Yeah, well, she wasn't even thinking about all of this when she came into the Nexus today. She saw him fighting, finish the smegger off, and did the decent thing to help him clean up and get okay.

So much for doing the decent thing, huh?

When they're in the office, she perches herself on the edge of her desk and waves him into a chair.

"Okay. First off. You can see that I'm still human, right? Still me. Still alive. Not a ganado. Not even a master carrier. You can see that, right?"

Derek raises an eyebrow carefully unwrapping the teacup (which he's claned and dried), and offering it to her.

"...you gonna let me give this back to you first?"

He's confused, not frothing.
