As Lucy muses aloud, Derek grins a little, shaking his head. No, no he is not, in fact, a loud music and bar kind of guy. Everything in the world is loud enough to him as it is, with the werewolf hearing. Going to the Houndstooth was always bad enough as it was and not because the bar itself was bad. But mostly just because it was always so loud in there. Even without pounding music, just the number of people and their loud voices buzzing around in his head was enough to overwhelm a guy after a while.

"I like that," he says honestly, smiling genuinely at her when Lucy suggests they spend time talking. He's not big on television and he could enjoy a movie, but if he's going to entertain himself with outside influence, he'd just as soon pick up a book. The idea of spending some time just talking to Lucy and really getting to know her. He's spent a long while looking at her, but he's never really talked to her about anything with substance. Quite frankly, he's really looking forward to that.

So when she offers her place, he nods. "Either way. But that sounds good to me. I like that better than anything else I could've come up with. See? This is why I let you make the decisions."
