[ He's going to need a break from teaching anyway, a few minutes to try and figure out a plan from here on out. Once again, Derek kicks a leg out at random intervals. Just to make sure that Stiles can do the full exercise in both directions. ]
[Stiles is going to be at the end of his concentration by the end of this, too. He's getting better reading the signs, moving accordingly. It isn't perfect, but he's making improvement, and is a quick learner.]
[ That's really all Derek asks for during these sessions, that Stiles focuses for as long as possible and makes some sort of improvement. It doesn't have to be by much, it just has to be something.
He gives a short and simple nod towards the end of the rotation. ]
[ It's a safer answer than pointing out that they're sausages. They're not incredibly difficult to cook in the first place. Still he follows closely and keeps an eye on Stiles' movements. Makes a mental note to start with a few stretches next time. ]
[ He can think of one recipe involving creamed corn, the downside is it requires a number of other items. Eggs, flour, sugar, syrup. That's literally the only thing he can think of to make the corn somewhat useful.
He gives a short nod as he passes Stiles, briefly pausing to make sure that they're still walking alongside one another. It's just easier to have a conversation that way. ]
[ A clear eyebrow raise before Derek shakes his head. ]
Physical exercise tends to do that. In your case, it's an outlet for your excess energy.
[ He could be incredibly 'off' in this assumption but, from Stiles phrasing of his sentence, it sounds as though he's having trouble sleeping on non-training days. ]
If you can, try to fit a solo-practice or two into your daily routine.
[ From the couple of times that Derek has run into him, he seems like a nice enough kid. He might laugh a little but Derek can't picture him as actively taunting or teasing Stiles over it. ]
[Really, Roddy might even want to learn, too. It's not like rats really have good fighting skills.]
I'll just go through my lacrosse stretches.
[Stiles rummages and pulls out the lighter that is in one of the drawers, lighting the gas flame. He puts the frying pan over the flame, and then puts the sausages in it.]
Do you want a little char on yours, or no?
[Some people like their sausages like that. He does.]
[Really, Derek is putting a lot of trust into him; considering how weird Stiles can be about some things he eats, saying he'd eat it however Stiles does is a risk. Still, luckily for Derek, he isn't that weird when it comes to this.
He turns them over now and again with a fork, working on getting them nice and cooked, with only a tiny bit of char--nothing too serious.
After a few minutes he takes them off the heat, putting it down on a plate.]
Well, eat up.
[It's only after he makes them he realizes that he probably should have made more than two. Well, he can always make more.]
[ 10% trust into Stiles making something actually edible. 90% disinterest because he’ll eat the thing even if it does turn out to be an otherwise inedible object. Waste not, want not. Honestly, he’s seen people eat cereal with ketchup; a little burn will not destroy a sausage for him.
Speaking of food, Derek wastes no time in throwing Stiles an appreciative nod before picking his designated sausage up with his fingers. And then he promptly devours it. Werewolf eating habits, manners are optional and 'wolfing it down' is more than a figurative expression. ]

No, I want to keep going.
[Stiles doesn't want to quit. He wants to prove he can do this.]
no subject
Derek gives a short nod before waving Stiles on. ]
Try going round the way.
no subject
Okay. Then after this, we should grab something to eat.
[Because he is going to need a break. Giving a solid nod, Stiles starts around the other way.]
no subject
Fine. After this round, we'll go and eat.

Good.
no subject
So sandwiches? Or I can cook us up some sausage.
[They can talk about their next session over lunch...dinner...whatever.]
no subject
Sausage. There were a few that had thawed the last time I looked.
[ Late lunch, early dinner. Either or. ]
no subject
I'm getting pretty good at cooking them, too.
[Stiles roll his shoulders back, shaking his head; he's going to be sore tomorrow, that's for sure. He starts towards the dining building.]

[It just won't work; he tried to dehydrate it, even...but no go. That crap is useless.
It's a short walk over to the dining hall, and he opens the door for Derek.]

no subject
[He snorts in agreement, moving to walk next to Derek again. He's gesturing a little bit, but less than normal--a clear sign he's a bit tired.]
I will say, I never have a problem sleeping after working out with you.

no subject
[He pushes into the kitchen, quirking an eyebrow as he walks towards one of the storage areas.
Because he knows what 'solo practice' used to mean to him but that definitely isn't what Derek means.]
no subject
Going over what we've practised. I can give you a couple of exercises to do on your own time if you want.
[ Just so Stiles has something productive to burn energy on. ]
no subject
[But still, he finally grabs two sausages from the stash, starting over towards the stove.]
I guess doing some cardio couldn't hurt, either.
[Running stairs.]
no subject
[ From the couple of times that Derek has run into him, he seems like a nice enough kid. He might laugh a little but Derek can't picture him as actively taunting or teasing Stiles over it. ]
Just remember to stretch beforehand.
[ And don't trip up the stairs. That too. ]
no subject

no subject
He gives a short nod in agreement to Stiles' suggestion. For the time being so long as he does something to warm up, he should be fine. ]
I'll have them however you're making them.
[ Food is food. He's been eating the spoilt items up until now, he's hardly going to care whether an in-date sausage is crispy or not. ]

Thanks.
no subject
[Stiles moves to take a more careful bite out of his, then finally offers.]
I can make you a couple more, if you want?
no subject
Why are you trying to drag this out?
[ It's a question of genuine curiosity. Somehow they've gone from parting at the end of a lesson to having snacks afterwards. ]
no subject
[Stiles blinks, a bit taken back.]
I just--I thought we were having a good time?
[Was he stalling? He didn't--was he?]
