[Good. Not that he minds filling in Caroline, but there is only so much convoluted reasons things went wrong that he can explain away. He didn't even bring up the part where he had amnesia for a while.]

Alright, so, now it's your turn. Where are we headed?

[ She's already decided that she'll poke him about this more later, once he's more settled, maybe after a few drinks. For now, she knows how he feels, it has to be overwhelming to be here.]

To my apartment. Unless you'd rather go to a bar.

I thought we were going to go look for Elena?

We are. But I'm showing you where I live so if we split up, we can meet there.

[He nods.] Good plan. I was given a room in... [Hold on, he's pulling that tablet out again.] Silver Hall. Room three.

[ She looks at the name and she glances around.] I could show you where that is instead?

Let's go with one new location at a time. [He can find his place as a testament to his ability to read a map.] I'm sure I can find this easily enough.

Okay. [ She goes quiet for a moment before glancing at him.] Do you want to know anything else?

[He exhales, trying to think of how to approach the topic.]

The chips... everyone has one?

[ She looks at him with a bit of a laugh, a nervous one.] Yeah, yeah they do. And it's not a joke. It... works.

[He picks up that nervous tint to her laugh and gives her a look.] Was there a problem?

No, just... really awkward. [ She glances at him before looking towards the sky because it seems super interesting all of a sudden. She is not going to talk about how she had sex with Elena, nope. God, why is her apartment so far away?]

[Oh...let's skip that story for right now.]

Awkward? Caroline Forbes that's not really a word I would assume you'd pair with anything related to sex.

[ She gives him a look.] Well, when you go to bring your new neighbor a basket of welcome to the neighborhood muffins and end up having sex on his kitchen table...

[Okay, so he shouldn't have let out a tiny laugh of shock there - but he did. Don't hit him!]

Wow, talk about borrowing a cup of sugar. [Okay, she can hit him for that one.]

[ Annnnnd he gets a scoff, a laugh, and a shove to the arm before she covers her face.] Shut up. [ She's blushing furiously now, mostly because the sex was awesome and she really shouldn't have thought that at all.]

Ow! [He over reacts because he cares... CARE. Okay, but seriously, he's trying not to laugh at her obvious pain.]

Do I get to meet him? Did Elena approve of him?

[ She doesn't hit him again, she moves to walk next to him once more, rolling her eyes.]

You can meet him if you want. His name is Oliver Queen. [ She shrugs at his questions.] I guess she did, yeah. But there were others so... yeah.

Others? [Look, he's getting that she's been here a while, but he didn't think she was the type to just play the field. She's always seemed pretty... loyal to him. Well, except the recent indiscretion.]

[ pout! ] Don't look so judgey, Stefan. Like I said, the chips work, you don't really have control of when.

[He takes a dramatic step AWAY from her as they are still walking. Gosh, how far away do you live, Caroline??]

I'm trying to prevent any unexpected groping.

Seriously? [ She smiles and rolls her eyes so hard, so hard. Her head almost rolls all the way around. Before she reaches out to grab his arm and slips hers through his. Look! Her place is just ahead.]

Shut up.

Hey, I'll have you know I'm pretty attractive now that I've seen what everyone else sees. [The joys of being a doppelganger.]

[ She laughs again, moving to guide him towards the building.] You know you're hot.

Well, now I do. [He's joking along with her, being guided into the building.]

I have a really nice back of the head.
