Yes.

[There's a lot of judgement packed into that one word, but she sighs sharply after a minute and adds:]

In any case. Let's return to Derek, shall we? I'd like to understand him a bit better.

[overshirts]

Uh, okay.
Shouldn't you just talk to him then?

[originallutece]

Obviously.

But I'd like an outside perspective as well.

For example: defensiveness is all well and good, but this is the man who refused to give me his name because he was so puffed up. That's more than mere defensiveness, Stiles.

[overshirts]

Except it's not.
The Hales were a prominent family back where we come from. They gained a lot of attention for their contributions and their efforts in helping rebuild Beacon Hills.
And they also gained a lot of negative attention from people who were less than thrilled about them merely existing.
Derek not wanting to give his name to a stranger is absolutely him being defensive because he has reason to be defensive.

[originallutece]

Even here?

This is the sort of information I mean, though.

[overshirts]

They've brought a hunter here before.
One we knew from home.

[ hunter's daughter, to be specific, and too early in her timeline to know anything about her family and what they do, but stiles knows what she turns into, at least for a while. ]

Everybody knows Derek back home.
But Derek doesn't know everybody.
And that means anybody could be an enemy to him.
Giving his name flat out would be just the same as painting a target on his back.
