And that makes life for the living people that much more difficult. Great. So, Angel and Drusilla and... what was the other one's name? They're on my "watch out for" list?
A different kind of vampire? Well, that's lovely. If I had to choose, I think I'd prefer our kind. At least it makes things easier. [ easier in the not hating most of them. damon is still a jury's-out case. ]
Is it too much to hope that they'll think I'm boring enough to not touch?
[ about five minutes later. her actually admitting this means a lot. stefan may never know how much his words mean to her right now. ]
I just meant that I took on guardianship knowing I would have to protect them. And now I get here and... suddenly I can't do that. Not the way it was supposed to be done.
I almost didn't and it scares me to think that I almost gave all of this up.
We were all hurting from the same thing. I wanted them to be as normal as possible.
[ and there's so much more to it. ]
Back home, the worst that would happen if I screwed up was the police would take them away. Here, if I screw up, it could get someone killed. I don't want to run through my life here learning as I go if that's going to be the result.
[ she actually takes a few minutes to reply to this because that actually helps a lot more than stefan knows. ]
It was the least I could do. [ and jenna's honestly come to care about both jeremy AND elena like she would have her own children. they mean the world to her now. ]

[ he's not sure if elena covered any of the various ring situations, but if not, he could easily explain. ]

Angel got a bad glitch? So, these hamsters just like to mess with us?
[ this is the part where jenna tries to figure out how much more she can take. ]

...Thanks, Stefan. It means a lot to me me that you're willing to help like this. If I can do something for you, just tell me.
[ because damnit, she's supposed to be the adult here. ]
