It goes without saying that Derek ends up following Stiles’ lead. That’s how things tend to go when it’s the two of them wandering around for whatever reason. One of them leads, the other follows. It’s a well-established routine by this point.

He gives the teenager a look over but doesn’t utter the dreaded question of, ‘are you sure you’re okay?’ Like Stiles said, there’s nothing they can do if Scott’s truly stuck in the void. They can sit around and wait and hope, or they can carry on and attempt to do something productive. Time for change of subject then, “Are the cultists raiding all of the stores or just a few of them?”
