BEEP.

[vampirebarbie]

[She sighs, glancing to the ground as she shakes her head.]

No, I'm sorry, Stefan. I shouldn't have unloaded all of that on you. I'm fine, Tyler's fine - we're just fine... apart.

[She looks to Stefan.] In the future, we're good friends - you and me, I mean. So I just, I'm just used to telling you everything.

[somanyadjectives]

[That makes him smile a bit. "Good friends" isn't something he often has and while he's not quite there yet - he's still just really getting to know Caroline, free of his brother's manipulations and who she is now that she's a vampire, so seeing her having come this far is ... uplifting, in a way.

And here Damon said she wouldn't survive.]

I don't mind if you still tell me everything, so long as you don't mind me asking for clarification every once in a while.

[vampirebarbie]

I can give you clarification, but so far all my clarification has done is create more things to explain. You know, a lot goes on in our lives. I have no clue why I didn't appreciate all those really slow boring days when I was a human.

[somanyadjectives]

Because they were slow and boring and you were human.

[He doesn't mean it to be admonishing, he's just making a point.]

But at least things seem to slow down a bit here. When the war isn't right at our front door, anyway.

[vampirebarbie]

Slowing down is good, I guess. Unless that just means the war is trying to get a running start.

[somanyadjectives]

[Stefan gives a bit of a shrug.]

It's hard to the say. Sometimes it just feels like it's always there, looming over our heads.

[vampirebarbie]

Okay, that's not good. [Caroline sighs.]

Are you okay here? I mean, don't just tell me that you're okay if you aren't.

[somanyadjectives]

I'm ...

[He pauses as he considers that for a moment.]

I've been better. But I've also been worse. There's still a lot I'm adjusting to.

[vampirebarbie]

Well, you have me here now. You can talk to me. [Caroline likes to be needed, to be important to someone other than herself.]

I'm an excellent listener.

[somanyadjectives]

[Stefan glances over to her then nods a bit.]

I'll keep that in mind. Especially since I have a feeling it's going to come up sooner rather than later.

[vampirebarbie]

Good. [She nods.] I should... probably get going. The whole... being kidnapped thing always distracts me from what I should be doing.

[Like finding where she's supposed to live... etc.]

[somanyadjectives]

[He nods.]

What house are you in? I'll stop by later and see how you're settling.

[vampirebarbie]

Oh! Freya. Charm... which I guess at least they got one thing right, right?

[somanyadjectives]

[He smiles a bit at that.]

Sounds like it. I'll come by later to check in.

[And with that he'll let her wander off to go get settled.]
