Because Maya's already lived through losing everything important to her at one point or another. In the face of that, Derek's just a grumpy asshole who needs to lighten up.

She sighs, the sound clearly exasperated even as a cat. Her tail swishes a little more intently before she bumps her head against his hand. She doesn't stop there though, licking a raspy stripe over his fingers.

That's a 'no'.

[tsunderek]

Well, then.

Her head is bumping against his hand, and his fingers twitch slightly. It could almost be considered something akin to petting. Almost. He'd never admit to it, if questioned.

He sighs. "You are all going to be the death of me."

[pawpular]

She notices the way his fingers twitch, and a loud purring sound emanates from the big cat. She nuzzles into his hand, encouraging more petting. It'll be their little secret, she swears.

A snorting sound comes from her when he says that. She bares her teeth at him, not threatening. What she's actually suggesting is that the death of him will probably come from his own kind. Scott and the others are cute, but jeez, Maya has a hard enough time just looking out for her own crew.

[tsunderek]

A giant cat that is actually a teenage girl is purring at him, nudging his hand, and there's a clear Do Not Want look on his face. Still, he obliges her. Nobody is around, nobody can see him. His hand drifts over the top of her head, between her ears to feel the silky fur.

There's still that look of irritation pursing his mouth and crinkling his eyes at the corners. "I mean it. You included."

[pawpular]

She purrs louder, pleased. It'd definitely be weird if she was in her human form, but...she's not. And Derek's usually such a jerk, she's proud of herself for having gotten something other than a scowl out of him. Even if he still looks annoyed at him.

Plus, that feels really nice. Whatever, she's a cougar, she's allowed.

She chuffs at him again, disbelieving. He wouldn't be here if he thought that. Neither would she, for that matter. Maya might be obnoxious sometimes, but she won't spend time around people who really, genuinely don't want her around. She's neither a sadist, nor a masochist.

[tsunderek]

Honestly, Derek isn't sure if he means to be a jerk, but there are things he needs - wants - and sometimes the way to get them is to not be soft. Being soft has never gotten him anywhere in life. Paige, Kate, Jennifer. Boyd and Erica. His jaw clenches again.

His fingers dig absently into her fur, scratching.

No, he supposes he wouldn't be here. She's less obnoxious than Stiles at least, and see how much time he spends with that kid?

[pawpular]

Her eyes close for a moment. All in all, she wants to chalk this up as a success, at least for now.

She shifts her head out from under his hand, tilting it up at him instead. There's an inquiring chirp from her, having noticed the way his jaw is clenching. She doesn't expect him to tell her what's wrong, but there's no harm in asking.

Well, sort of.

[tsunderek]

Derek doesn't speak cat, let alone mountain lion, but he can tell when there's an inquisitive noise when it's pointed at him. There's a shrug of his shoulders.

He doesn't want to talk about it. He hasn't before, and he won't now.

"Come on," he says gruffly, taking off now that she's pulled back. If she's determined to stick around, she can walk with him.

[pawpular]

She yowls irritably when he takes off without answering, although it's not clear if she's annoyed about the lack of answering, or the taking off. On the other hand he does basically invite her to come along.

She lopes after him easily, enjoying the bunch and pull of her muscles in this form so much that she only pauses to push her head against the back of his leg before she bounds on ahead of him. She sits down maybe fifteen feet ahead of him, tail swishing across the ground.

She doubts he'll chase her, but she wants him to anyway.

[tsunderek]

He's no rush, and Derek isn't exactly the playful type. His pack was the same way, but he's always been more content in watching the games.

Still, there's definitely part of him that wants to do it. He hasn't always been like this, cut off and guarded and lacking in fun. There was a time when he was easy going, but that was... Before the fire. Before he lost his mom. His family.

"This is why I said go bother someone else." He sounds like he's scolding her.

[pawpular]

If cats could stick their tongues out without looking ridiculous, this is the part where she would do that. As it is, Maya just stays where she is, swishing her tail back and forth, waiting for him to at least catch up with her.

It's also code for nope, happy bothering you. The others are around, obviously, but they all have people they can spend time with. Derek is alone, so Derek gets the benefits of her company.

Maya pushes herself easily to all fours again, impatient. She prowls towards the forest, back to him, and then back towards the forest again, an obvious hint. If he won't play tag, he can at least explore with her.

[tsunderek]

Derek likes being alone. There's a reason why he always is. But it doesn't seem like there's really any point in telling her to go. She's not going to. He knows Maya enough to know that she's stubborn like that. And more to the point, she's not a wolf, not part of his pack. He can't actually order her to go.

He growls a sigh, more wolf than man, but her movements are obvious. He picks up his pace - slightly, because she doesn't get to order him around. Fine, whatever. He'll go exploring.

[pawpular]

Her ears twitch when she hears the growl, and he gets another amused chuff for his troubles. Don't be a baby. Honestly, it's like hanging out with her is hard or something.

But her purring echoes across the space between them when he picks up the pace, an obvious indication that he's pleased her. Maya runs on ahead again, winding her way easily through the trees until she disappears from sight. He might think she's given up on him, but her claws sink satisfyingly into the bark of a suitable looking tree as she drags herself up into the branches. Her superior eyesight locks on him through the leaves, watching to see what he'll do next.

Maya's kind of impressed she's managed to hold the form for this long. Here's hoping she doesn't lose control in the middle of this, because that could get embarrassing. Fast.

[tsunderek]

It's down right difficult, obviously. It's easier to hang out with her as a cougar than it is when she's a girl, but Derek's always had little patience. No, not always, but that's someone who has been gone for a long time anyway.

When Maya finally disappears, it doesn't really matter to him if she's disappeared on him. That's basically what he's wanted. And yet, he keeps moving forward, keeps following the trail that she leaves for him. There's a thread of thought there that he should probably look into but that would require too much effort that he doesn't want to explore anyway.

He shoves his hands into the pockets of his jeans, pretty much glowering with each step that he takes. It's not about her; it's because of himself.

[pawpular]

If she were a girl again, she'd smile. He keeps on coming, for whatever reason, and she's pleased with that.

She's not sure why she's latched on to Derek out of all the werewolves who belatedly arrived in their little sanctuary. He's made it more than clear that he has his own agenda, and isn't interested in playing nice. He's there because he has to be, not because he wants to be.

Maybe Maya can relate to that.

She waits for him to pass under her, go ahead a little. And then she drops to the ground without warning, yowling a little. Not angrily or threatening; she's mostly just making noise to surprise him.

[tsunderek]

It doesn't help that, out of all of them, Derek is still the oldest. No longer a teenager, and yet he's surrounded by them. There's a clear separation here. He's caught in the middle of the adults who are not supernatural, and the teenagers who definitely are more overpowered than is good for them.

His own pack included, for what it's worth.

Sometimes, he wishes he was close to Peter, or that his psychotic uncle had stuck around at all.

All the time, he misses his mother, his alpha. He wonders if she would have known what to do with all of this.

Derek barely reacts. He looks human, but he's still a wolf. And he could still smell her nearby, still hear her touch the ground. He looks over his shoulder, half-amused.

"Is that really the best you have?"

[pawpular]

Maya hisses at him, affronted. After all, if he wasn't such a baby about having fun, she wouldn't have to walk on eggshells around him. He'd made it seem like dropping out of trees was all he could handle without keeling over from sheer impotent rage.

She likes to think she got that across, somehow. And if that doesn't work, the way her muscles bunch might clue him in. She makes sure her claws are retracted, obviously, but that's about the only precaution she takes before she launches herself at him, fulling intent on knocking him to the ground.

[tsunderek]

Derek doesn't suspect that who knows how many pounds of muscle and flying cat fur is going to jump at him, but it should have been obvious. Teenagers, he swears.

He takes her in the chest, making a loud grunting noise as his hands immediately go to her front legs. He backs up, stumbles. His face shifts, more wolf than man now, eyes glowing red.

There's power in his muscles, behind his actions. His human frame belies the strength he has, and while she's big, powerful, so is he. It's not meant to be particularly threatening or to hurt her, but when she smacks against him, he throws her back to the ground.

There's a brief flash of a grin on his face.

[pawpular]

Maya bears down with her strength, but even when he's completely human, it turns out that Derek has formidable strength.

She'd sort of known that in theory, but in practice it's a whole lot different, and she'd kind of been expecting to push him down. Having the tables turned takes her by surprise, makes it easier for him to throw her down.

She scrambles back to all fours almost immediately, an irritated yowl tugging itself from the back of her throat. But she catches that grin as she starts to pace back and forth in front of him, tail swishing. The yowl dies in her throat, and there's a moment of silence in which she prowls a full loop around him, looking for a hole in his defences. And then she chuffs again, sounding almost smug.

Made you smile.

[tsunderek]

His nails elongate - his own version of the claws coming out - with a growl in his throat. Not a threatening one, but not exactly the most inviting. If she's going to go for him again, he's going to fight back. Play back. However Maya wants to view it, really.

The amused chuff has him snorting. It's not like he's incapable of smiling. He just really doesn't care to, especially when he's surrounded by incredibly annoying kids. That takes a toll on people who already have very little patience.

"How long can you really keep that form up?" Because eventually, she's going to go back to being just a regular girl again.

[pawpular]

There's a light of curiosity in the way she watches him, the way his body changes, rises to the challenge. Everything about this new world is fascinating to her, but watching people change shape obviously has the biggest draw.

She likes the way he sounds, she decides. Maybe others would be intimidated, but it's not like Maya doesn't make her own variety of unusual noises, regardless of if she's a girl or cougar. Honestly, it kind of helps her feel less weird, hearing him growl at her.

How long can you really keep that form up? There's a question. Maya honestly has no idea, but this isn't a bad way of testing it. Well, she hopes. She makes a quick switch of direction without responding to that question, launching herself at him again. She's more focussed this time, bearing down harder. It's kind of freeing, not having to worry about if she's going to hurt him or anything.

[tsunderek]

Maya launches herself at him again, and he's more prepared for it this time. He shifts his feet, squaring his body to prepare for the attack. She hits him harder than before, but he's ready for it. His arms wrap around her bulky body, flipping her onto her back and away from him.

Do skinwalkers land on their feet, too?

The weird thing is, he's enjoying this. The physical activity, the mock attacks. There's something calming about violence. Maybe that's just the wolf inside of him.

[pawpular]

Skinwalkers land heavily on their side when they're thrown from a low enough height that they can't get their feet under them. Maya doesn't mind though, liking the challenge.

She's on all fours again in seconds, and this time she goes for his legs in the hopes of overbalancing him without his hands getting in the way. If he's listening carefully (or has, you know, super-hearing), he might hear the quiet chirp of enjoyment she makes before ploughing into his shins.

[tsunderek]

He has super-hearing, and he hears the chirp, a bloom of irritation coursing through him. Not that Derek really has the time to concentrate on that - or the fact that he's actually having fun - because he's lying on his back not even a second later. He lands with an 'oof', air sucked from his lungs.

That's embarrassing.

Not that he waits for too long, back on his feet in a second and on her in the same breath as he tackles the girl who would be cougar.

[pawpular]

There's another happy chuff from Maya at her success, although it's lost to a hiss when he tackles her. She hits the ground, doing her best to fend him off without catching him with her claws. It's hard, and she definitely loses power because of it, but she's still only playing. She doesn't actually want to happen.

The sound that comes from her throat then is a new one, at least in the context of this little encounter. Derek gets a real cougar scream and a face full of cat breath as she finally manages to free herself, backing off a little. She's breathing a little harder, but seemingly none the worse for wear. She hisses at him again, lips peeling back, but it's more posturing than anything else. She's actually pretty pleased with how it's turning out.
