[ As Scott is a flurry of excited activity in front of him, Derek can't help the faint huff that leaves him. It's not surprising to see the sign, or the attempt at it, but he still flicks a quick look up to Laura before he shakes his head.
His expression remains fairly level, for a moment. It's the look of someone considering something, rather than a frown he'd shoot at his sister for the sign. After so long, in the quiet of the house and the weight of his guilt for that silence, he hasn't actually been the sign in a long time.
He crouches down to Scott's level, before allowing himself a partial shift for the first time in months, ears flicking up and towards Scott before his face scrunches at him. ]
