[ His uncomfortable grimace might be for Chris merely saying Derek's name, or it may be about being put onto the counter like a lanky toddler, or both. Either way, he doesn't complain about either thing, or about makeshift medical supplies. This is weird for him too, Chris!! Unless he's pretending for his own amusement, which while possible, isn't really characteristic of the Peter Hale of recent events. That Peter has always had better things to do, though they may amount to buying luxury cars or hitting on people's moms.
This Peter, on the other hand, watches Chris with the dazed concentration of someone who is concerned that a moment's lapse of attention will render him vulnerable again. His eyes track, though they sometimes lose focus, and the consternation that crawls across his expression at the bizarre question Chris asks him would be funny under other circumstances. Besides the beard, he doesn't think Chris looks that much older. (Because everybody older than 30 is "old.") ]
You know Derek.
[ Like. Know him, not just as a photograph with a target on him. The disbelief in his voice might even make someone forget that Peter absolutely doesn't deserve help, or that he is who he is, and always has been. Unless Chris can see how hard he's thinking, trying to math meme things out, and probably getting a lot further than the fifteen year old Derek did. In any case, he has leaned back, he has with some trepidation removed the hand from his stomach and the deep puncture wound there. ]
