[Alex is honestly a bit worried about this particular detail, not knowing exactly how long Derek can sustain his wolf form.]

Well, I can remain in a form until I change myself out of it... the full moon being the exception. I have to change on the full moon and always wake up in human form again the next day. I know Derek has to shift when the Change comes, but can he stay in that form as long as he wants?

[And then a dry chuckle and he smiles.]

No, nothing bad yet and hopefully it'll stay that way. I'm okay with things being calm for a time around here.

[Then he sighs, his expression hopeful yet wary; he hadn't quite worked out the technicalities yet.]

I don't know... problem is, if you get too close to anyone, you might get stuck to them.
