[ there are certain smells that Derek, knowing as many hunters as he has, has come to memorize. subtle though they are, he recognizes things like metal, like a gun that was fired not so long ago. these things put him on edge, but they also pique his curiosity, make him more likely to talk. Derek's eyes flick sidewards to regard her. she's not watching him, the way he's come to expect from hunters. she's also younger than he'd expect.
