❰ really, she's making this much more dramatic than she needs to. damon isn't looking to kill her, much as it may feel like he is — that wouldn't serve his greater agenda, after all, and he's all about the greater agenda. passing out on top of her because the symbiote's a paranoid little baby would not leave her with the impression he wants to confer — namely, he wants her to think of him as a threat, much more of one than elena could ever be. if she focuses her fire on him, he can focus his on making sure elena gets through all this intact.
he had forgotten, though, how hungry he was. it's been days since he's fed, reluctant as he's been to talk to sam, and elena and her friendly veins sleeping in a pod on the ship. his control is hardly frayed, by the rush of blood in his stomach or by the knife continually stabbing his shoulder — ow, also — but... he might be feeding longer than he intended to be.
it's sam who distracts him. sam's voice, elena's name, and this is so familiar he could probably write the script. everything you're doing to her is hurting elena! thwarted again by forces outside of his control, linking the woman he loves to the woman he... well, he doesn't hate lakshmi. to hate her he'd have to care about her at all. it's frustrating all the same, and damon growls against her neck, his grip on her wrist tightening.
it takes a moment, but he disengages from lakshmi, blurring to standing and then, after a pause, out of the room. he has to find elena, and he's rather certain he made his point. ❱
