Fine. I'll go. [|Flashing him her sweetest smile, she turned on her heels, sure to knock over the cabinet beside the study door as the glass shutters shattered against the floor. She never said she'd leave quietly.|] Hm, what else looks old, irreplaceable, and breakable?

[|Grasping his wrist mid-swat, she glared, swiftly throwing his hand back down to his side.|] I don't believe that.

[|She mirrored his movements, a playful gleam hiding behind her eyes as she reached out to tug at his neckline, a single digit trailing over his collar bone.|] You seem to have forgotten how things ended in Chicago. I ( chose ) you, Stefan, and Klaus reacted. I ( know ) you.

[|Capturing her bottom lip between her teeth, she stifled her grin ﹔she preferred arguing to silence.|] Why don't you prove it? All I see is a lost soul who's putting his harsh self forward because he knows how ( awful ) it's going to be when he flicks that little switch back.

[|Did he think she wouldn't follow? She's ( bored ). Hopping down from her perch, she didn't hesitate to follow the sound of receding steps.|] If you keep going like this, I may actually start to believe you don't like me. [|Cue the smug little smirk. Yeah right.|]

[|A quizzical brow arched before a frown settled on her features. She did ( not ) like being ignored.|] Stop that. Why aren't you speaking?

[|She's mentally noted her victory before lounging back against the felt, one leg crossing over the other.|]

Mmm, no. [|Casually dropping a lid in a wink, she blurred from her seat on the couch to the pool table placed directly adjacent to him, perching happily on its edge as her head cocked in amusement.|] I don't think I want to.

Are you sure you're not looking in the mirror?

He thinks you're friends, ( you ) think you're soulmates.

Keep thinking that. If "no humanity" for you only translates to "Klaus' bitch" and "protective girlfriend," maybe I ( will ) leave. It's just gross, like watching him dote on Caroline.

You act like I'm begging for your hand in marriage. I seem to remember you enjoying our time together way back when, so much so that Klaus ( had ) to remove us both.

[|Scoffing out in defeat, she gave her head a final shake, choosing to ignore the issue altogether.|] You always liked it when I got jealous. It usually ends in blood. . and bloodied bed sheets.

Are you blind or just ( that ) bloody stupid? He's just using you, like he uses everyone else in his life. I have stood by his side through countless "best friends" over a thousand years and I assure you, it'll end with a dagger in your heart or it will be ripped out altogether.

Someone's been spending time with my bitter brother, I see. Animosity is ( not ) a good look on you, Stefan. Bloody? Yes, but ( this ) is just pathetic.

[|Glancing over her shoulder, she sent him a glare before walking over and taking a place on the couch.|] Now, if you went and did that, all you would be doing is ridding your house of your brother, the doppelgangers, and the vermin they carry.

I'm not "still" at your house. I ran by the store and got new shampoo﹔now I'm back.

Please tell me why you never have any actual ( alcohol ) down in the wine cellar, @impiusmeam? Must I always be forced to steal from your personal stash?
