Derek huffs slightly when Oliver takes the spot against the wall, but he supposes that out of two overly cautious fighters, the one without enhanced senses can take the better vantage point. He sits down across from Oliver and shrugs before taking a sip of his coffee. It's too hot and it burns his tongue, but it heals before he even sets the cup back down.

"I'd only met her once before last night. Ran into outside her gym. I think it's the same one you go to, that Off the Wall place?" Derek smiles at the memory of meeting Thea, and how her attitude had interested him even then. "Then last night she showed up and we were talking. She started showing me how to make drinks, and it kind of spiraled from there."

He shrugs again, not really wanting to go into more detail. What happened is between him and Thea. "It was fun. It's been-- well, a long time since I've done anything like that."
