[ why can't you be a bossy mum and tell her she has to be there in two minutes or else? honestly, it makes caroline want to ... not go. but that's the two percent of a much larger pie. she wants to go. she's just incredible unsure. ]
I'll be there in a minute.
[ or a few seconds.
knock, knock? ]
i want to believe that this is for real; ♥ YES AND I LOVE IT <33333
[ because jenna has yet to master the strong hand of discipline. she's almost afraid caroline won't come, but then she's knocking at the door. jenna hurries to open it. hope caroline's ready for this because she's getting a bright, warm smile- ]
I'm glad you decided to come.
[ and the second caroline walks into the house and jenna shuts the door, the vampire's getting hugged. care, she's not afraid of you. not at all. ]
i want to believe that this is for real; ♥ BRILLIANT BECAUSE I WAS READY TO COMPEL!
caroline continues to forget that jenna knows and that she expressed she was okay with it. but, still, she remembers her own mother's face, her disappointment, and her own disownment. thus, the hug is unexpected.
she doeshug her back, lightly, though, aware of her own strength and uncertain, even still. ]
It's not like I couldn't. You'd have kicked my ass if I didn't.
[ said jokingly, but she knows jenna may not have given up.
caroline pulls away and can't help but look down for a split second. ] I'm sorry I didn't tell you before.
i want to believe that this is for real; ♥ SOB COMPELLIIIIING ;o;
[ when they pull back, jenna shakes her head. ] I'm sorry I didn't say anything, but I wasn't sure how to. You got here and then everything turned upside down. I didn't want you to have to deal with this on top of that, but maybe it would have made things easier.
[ well, what was done was done. jenna can't beat herself up for it now. ]
So... are you hungry? We could hatch something. [ she means for anything, human food or blood. ]
i want to believe that this is for real; ♥ i will admit i have a compelling addiction /hangs head
It's not up to you. I came in here with the knowledge that you were in the dark. I didn't want to be the person who blew that.
[ caroline frowns, smiling. she has been wondering how to do this, but has left it alone for the time being. what happens if she does something wrong? ] How do you even hatch things?
i want to believe that this is for real; ♥I DON'T MIND AS LONG AS I'M NOT BEING COMPELLED ;o;
And I get that. I understand why everyone kept things from me. [ even as much as it had hurt to find out, she does get it and she doesn't blame any of them for it. ]
You just find one of the machines, press your bracelet to it, and think about what you want. If you've got enough credits and it's small enough, you'll get it. It's kind of like wishing things up.
i want to believe that this is for real; ♥ NEVER! DON'T SAY SUCH HORRIBLE THINGS!
It still wasn't cool of us. You had a right to know. A lot of things wouldn't have happened if you did. [ katherine wouldn't have been invited in. jenna wouldn't have stabbed herself under katherine's compulsion. she'd have known to keep the vervain up.
it sounds like she needs a bank card. ] And it's normal? No catches?
i want to believe that this is for real; ♥ /LOVES ON, THEN!
Hey, it's okay. I've dealt with it. [ she's curious, but at the same time she really doesn't want to know. there's a lot she knows and she's sure it's not even the half of the story. ]
No catches that I've heard. I think you're better off if you have a job, but don't worry too much. You live here. I won't let you starve.
[ yes, jenna's probably taking this guardianship thing too seriously, but it's the only real thing she has to tie her to life in mystic falls right now. she needs it. ]
i want to believe that this is for real; ♥ THAT IS BETTER. (angrygym)
[ caroline smiles. a really, big, genuine one. she lives here. and jenna - it means a lot to her that jenna would care so much. ]
I'll totally pull me weight, though. No couch potato for me.
[ getting a job, for one, would be her pulling her weight around here. ]
I'll go job hunting. Whoever wants a blonde vampire, they're getting one. [ she smiles.
then, with an inhale - and all the tension sapped from her body - she smiles warmly: ] Thank you, Jenna. It means a lot to me that you're even giving me a chance.
i want to believe that this is for real; ♥ [HEARTBEAT]! OF THE SCRIBBLY KIND
[ jenna smiles. ] It that'll make you feel better. It'll probably give you something to do during the day. Or whenever your hours end up being.
Hey, I know it's hard getting thrust here without remembering how or why. It's hard enough for someone like me. [ granted, she hadn't known half of this was possible before she got here. that had been a rude awakening. at least caroline knew of magic and vampires, etc. ] And I wasn't kidding when I said you're important to me. You're important to Elena... and I really do feel safer having someone else here with us. Just in case Katherine gets ideas.
[ the worried look on jenna's face at the mention of katherine speaks well enough for what she feels about the vampire. katherine scares her, much as she hates to admit it. ]
text → action?; ♥ ARE YOU SURE. I SPAM WITH AN ANGRY IRON FIST OF GOD.
I'll be there in a minute.
