[ Her options are at this point, are brood up how much she wants to kill Damon and Elena, or get on with work. She didn't do so well at brooding, though her mind is still so new, so sharp and edged and not kept inside of herself. But in this case, a fire trying to find new kindling to keep itself going. Her own impatience and frustration are evident. But when isn't she anyway - ]

( I was informed when I arrived that we need to be ... ascertaining particular pieces of information.

Have we begun such? If not, should we not begin planning to reconnoitre? )

[ She has already plans, but even so, if it's already been done - well, she's happy to be told if it means she doesn't have to go chasing her own tail. ]

[shri]

( Now that is the response from a creature such as yourself. )

[ But still - ]

( Fine. Then I want to be near to you every step of this. I will not have you conduct yourself without consequence. )

❰ I play to my audience, honey.

hey, if she expects him to be a horror movie asshole, he can be a horror movie asshole. it'll surprise her so much more when he's smarter than the things she's used to.

Awww, darling, if you wanted to hang out you could have just asked. You didn't have to manufacture a reason for us to spend time together! ❱

( Child. )

[ There's a rip of her mind back. She definitely doesn't need that from him. ]

[blooded]

❰ If I'm a child you're a toddler, you know.

he has about a century on you, kid, come on. be a little more creative with your insults, please. ❱

[shri]

( And yet, you have more in common with my son's worst tempertantrums. )

[ can she visualize her eyes rolling at him, because that is what she's trying to do right now. ]
