[But the awesome isn't said with a ton of enthusiasm--at least it's measured for him. But considering Derek isn't one to give a lot of praise, he'll take it.]
[ He tilts his very slightly to show that he’s heard Stiles’ speaking. High praise isn’t really his style; he’s more about levelling his response in relation to the difficulty of the task. Set your enthusiasm too high and you’ll have nowhere to go when the ‘student’ improves. ]
That depends. Would you rather have one long lesson or several shorter ones?
[ He’s really asking whether Stiles wants to get it all over in one day or spread the lesson out over several. It’s not as though Derek has a routine to follow, right now he can adapt to whatever set-up they decide upon. ]
[ A short and simple nod as Derek thinks over the best way to approach the multiple day idea. ]
We’ll start with five lessons a week. Send me message whenever you’re free. If any lessons are leftover at the end of the week, we’ll be doing them on the last day.

[But the direction he isn't sure about. And he says as much.]

[ As he's repeating the pattern he noticeably cuts back on the background noise. ]

[The lesssened background noise helps at least.]

[ He moves around in silence picking up the nails again. Only speaking once he's come to a stop by the side of Stiles. ]
Take the blindfold off.

Didn't do too miserably, right?

You did fine.
[ Better than he expected actually. ]

Awesome.

So uh--how often should we do this stuff?
[He doesn't know Derek's schedule.]

[Stiles debates the benefits of each for a few moments, before shaking his head.]
Several shorter ones.
[At least until he can get his ADHD under control. It's fine most days, but this sort of exertion does do a toll on his attention span.]

[ That’s reasonable, right? ]
no subject
[Stiles nods weakly for a moment, then stronger as it settles.]
Yeah, I think that will work.
Thanks, Derek. Really.
[He gives another quick nod, and then starts for the door.]
no subject
[ He means that. With a short 'goodbye' nod, Derek starts to gather his things. Planning on making his own exit shortly after the teen. ]
