It felt nice to be able to finally run in wolf form. He was constantly listening to make sure he didn't hear any of the humans approaching, stopping on occasion suddenly to focus his ears if it sounded like someone might be, before picking up his pace again. He'd never been able to run with another wolf before, though, and that was maybe the best part. Derek had a handful of family members who could go full wolf, but they'd all been long dead by the time he'd evolved enough to do it. Malia could go full coyote, but she didn't necessarily have a lot of — if any — control over that so, to Derek's knowledge, she just didn't do it. It felt a lot better running with the other wolf than it ever had running alone, which almost seemed to balance out the fact that they were still indoors while they were doing it, at least for Derek.
When they finally reached the start of the hallway again after getting to the other end and turning around which, Derek could only guess, was at least an hour or two later, he slowed to a trot before finally stopping, setting their makeshift sack of clothes down. A part of him really wasn't ready to transition back out again, but he really needed to get back and go find the supplies he'd used as an excuse to leave the group on his own to find.
There was a pause wherein Derek stood still on all fours, closing his eyes to focus. A moment later, he was transitioning out, shifting into a furry human form before the fur faded away, leaving him in his full human form. Derek crouched again to take apart the clothing so that he could separate his clothes from hers and, once he'd extricated his things, he started to get dressed. "Something was in here with us earlier," he commented as he pulled on his boxer shorts, frowning and looking around. "I could hear it, but I couldn't see or smell anything. That's why I kept stopping. I don't think it's here anymore, but maybe you caught something I couldn't..."
He wasn't really sure whether she was going to transition out again, so he dressed slowly to give her a minute to catch up, if she needed to. If she didn't come back out, he would just carry her clothes back to that room for her.
