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?

[ as though one world's not enough for her to get used to. ]

...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. ]

I will. Even if you could, I'd still do it. I'm supposed to be the one in charge of her, not the other way around.

I know. I wouldn't call it a problem.

[ 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. ]

...I'll take anything I can get at this point.

Don't endanger yourself, though. I'll manage.

[ meaning: don't piss katherine off for this. ]
