For a long moment, there was silence. Derek stood completely still in an effort to keep from making noise that would have the potential to drown out any little sounds she might've made while moving, if she was. But then a voice came back and he took a step forward before realizing that there was a slight echo on the sound. He stopped, looking around with eyes narrowed in thought. He really wished he had his werewolf abilities. He would found her by now if he could've sniffed her out.

"Oh, come on, you're going to make me do everything?" he asked with a lilt of amusement in his tone. "I gotta come up with the topic of conversation, on top of it? I don't know, I didn't get that far."

Derek paused, listening. She was smart, he'd give her that. The acoustics made it harder for him to go anywhere for fear that he'd be moving in the wrong direction following an echo rather than the source. "Lots of things. Troubleshooting. Citizen Improvement. Terrible excuses for food; take your pick. What do you want to chat about?" he asked.
