Let the moment go… Don't forget it for a moment, though

Elena thinks there's something to gossip about, but there's not. Ryan's a friend.

[Nothing more, nothing less. At least, not at this moment in time.]

[recrudesce]

Caroline, you grew up in Mystic Falls. How often did gossiping amount to nothing.

( Considering the two of you and the gossip mill that summer. )

Hey, not my place. I can leave Elena on read from now on. Ryan who?

[vampireboulevard]

Thank you.

[She doesn't expect it to stick, but she appreciates him making an effort to make her feel better.]

And if there is anything, nothing's ... materialized. So there's nothing to gossip about.

[recrudesce]

Same. Not that you asked.

( No cute werewolf girls, or witches, or otherwise. He's been sticking to the cause for years. The Armory takes up most of his time, now. And then checking in with Packs. He spent some time in New Orleans. Who thought small town jock Tyler would be the Jetsetter. )

[vampireboulevard]

I was getting there.

[She glances over at him with a smirk.]

Is there someone you want to be?

[recrudesce]

I wasn't calling you out. You always get there. No one, not for a long time. The armory keeps me pretty busy, plus making sure Gilbert doesn't get himself killed.

( That's a full time job. )

[vampireboulevard]

Well, if you were interested, I'm sure we could find someone.

[Because matchmaking is in season.]

We've just made a bunch of new friends from a Beacon Hills pack.

[recrudesce]

You're trying to find me someone.

( Yes, they've come a long way, and Tyler has let go of most of his inner rage regarding a certain hybrid. And they would always be friends despite moving to a more estranged from-a-far friendship unless one of them needed something, but maybe they're entering a new phase. )

[vampireboulevard]

What? We're evolved. We are grown ups now and can both want each other to settle down and be happy if that's something they're interested in.

[recrudesce]

Is this your way of asking if I want little werewolves running around?

( A very concentrated, intense look, Caroline. )

[vampireboulevard]

Or if you want some one to ... practice making little werewolves with?

[She's not jumping all the way to a nuclear family, but sometimes having a partner is nice.]

[recrudesce]

That hasn't been my top priority.

( But, yeah, Caroline. You remember firsthand that he likes practicing. )

[vampireboulevard]

[She does, it's true.]

I'm just saying. I could make some introductions.

[recrudesce]

If I'm still here next week, sure, make all the introductions you want.

( He's still not sure of what he's going to do. )

[vampireboulevard]

I'll do that.

[Derek's got a sister, or so she's heard. Maybe she's cute. She doesn't know.]

But I am glad you're here for now.

[recrudesce]

Yeah, me too. I couldn't miss all the excitement.

( More claws are better. )

[vampireboulevard]

[She gives his arm a squeeze, before one of the parents tries to catch her attention.]

Gotta go be an administrator, but I'll find you later. Go enjoy the food.
