[ for only the ten thousandth time, derek resents the fact that there are a million different types of werewolves. if josh weren't some weird kind derek wouldn't have to do much explaining. inconsiderate, josh. ]
I gave it up.
[ he doesn't regret it. that's important, because it hasn't changed. whatever happens, he'll never regret giving away his power for cora. ]
[ josh are you really going to make him use his words. ]
It is. And I took it.
[ there's an awkward pause, like derek isn't sure how to explain this. which is partially because peter hadn't explained it very well in the first place, and derek had only paid attention to what had been relevant at the time. ]
An alpha can use their power to heal a member of their pack. A dying member. It takes all of it.
Huh. [ as in wow that's fascinating, and also wow, that's very noble of you. but josh knows better than to offer up any frank admiration, at least; doesn't mean he'll ever stop prying. ]
[ josh's tone is sliding quickly into irritated, but the implication is that yes, he's pretty sure he can guess. which is to say: screw you derek, he doesn't need you to use your words anyway. ]
Should I just hang up on you and try talking to one of my shoes instead? Because I'm pretty sure that would make for a more riveting conversation at this point.
[ no time for your shit man
and before you ask, no his shoes are not purple sneakers. ]

I wasn't aware that was an option.
[ more confused than skeptical, but still - please explain. ]

It is. And I took it.
