[stipulates]

Only for a relatively short while; I spent the better part of the day navigating my way up to the surface.

[coy]

That sounds familiar. Does... I'm guess your family knows you're here.

[stipulates]

We've been in contact, yes. [ A pause. ] There's something I'm hoping you might be able to confirm for me.

[coy]

[ oh boy. ] What is that?

[stipulates]

Katerina -- she is dead, is she not?

[coy]

Not here.

[stipulates]

Can you elaborate?

[coy]

It hasn't happened for me yet, back home.

[stipulates]

Mm... I see. Well, I thank you Caroline. This has been most... illuminating.

[ this asshole has left five bars of stupidly well-made and sweet-smelling, somehow creamy lavender and ginger soap beside the door of your hut, caroline. they are in a small box container of wood along with some extra lavender flowers because romance.

under a few sprigs are two notes made from torn animal canvas, each neatly scripted in charcoal. one is larger than the other and folded; this contains thorough but concise instructions on how to make soap. the other is smaller and simply says: ]

If you ever need instruction...

a day or two after their fight ;;

[immoderation]

I'm sorry. You're an adult. You can make your own choices. It's not my place to insinuate otherwise.

[coy]

This place sucks.

[immoderation]

Yeah. It really does.

[coy]

I'm not trying to hurt anyone, Stefan. Least of all you. I hate fighting with you.

[immoderation]

I know. I hate fighting with you too.

[coy]

So what are we going to do now?

[immoderation]

I don't know. Learn to live with each other's terrible life choices I guess.

[coy]

We haven't exactly been hanging out a lot lately.

[immoderation]

Tensions have been running a little high all around.

[coy]

[ oh, right, because of the damon thing. caroline is starting to really hate the guilt that washes over her when it was damon who did the thing.] And Damon's your brother. [ so family over friendship. she'd probably understand better if she had any siblings herself.]

[immoderation]

I made him what he is. There's always going to be that part of me that feels responsible for him. But I'm not just talking about Damon. Or even Klaus for that matter. The whole vibe here seems to have shifted. I can't pinpoint the why or the when, exactly. But...

1/2

[coy]

I'm not asking you to pick sides. [ even if she wishes he'd pick hers, as selfish as it is.]

[coy]

What are you trying to say? Do you think the 12 are responsible or something?

[immoderation]

I don't know. Maybe I'm just imagining things.

[coy]

I mean I've noticed people are more on edge.
