It could tip to bad, if more tragedy is revisited, or if the wrong person draws him in. Witches tend to get wrapped up in vampire drama. But, we're all wrapped up, anyway.
( Working together. )
He also reminds me of me. I lost my grandmother and my dad, both to the supernatural. And I died once, too. I'm... afraid if I leave him alone his heart won't recover from what's happened.
Merlot. And it's from here, so it should be earthy.
( Bonnie has studied up some on wine since she chose a more international life. )
And we need to get something with vegetables. No more diner food. ( She smiles to herself, considering her seating options. She decides on the loveseat, it feels safe. ) Not that that wasn't a - light version of what I feel like being on the run might be. I was the pursuer, once.
One of my best friends, but, at the time we weren't on good terms - and his brother. This obsessive strength and urge to kill vampires was passed to me.
( The stories they could share. )
Sort of like the calling to be a vampire slayer, but more drilled into you, and only one of them. And I was the last at the time.
A kanima. It's a lizard shifter that ... takes on the identity of their master. Follows their commands.
[And then he realizes that's going to require more information, and he leans back as he tries to figure out how best to explain it.]
My dad wasn't a good person. He hurt a lot of people and one of them was able to harness a dangerous shifter to get revenge. But knowing my issues with my dad, and the fact that I was a newly turned werewolf at the time ... I also came up as a pretty viable suspect.
Yeah, Jackson came through with an alibi. Sort of.
[He may have been threatened into it.]
That wasn't why I left though. I wanted to see the world. I graduated and I was gone. And then Monroe happened and being out in Europe was less backpacking and more trying to protect people.
[He doesn't remember either way, but that's not important. He would have done it regardless. His mouth turns up in a slight smirk.]
My boss would have been pretty pissed if I let the hunters kill the Bennett witch I was supposed to be making an ally out of.
[It's teasing, his tone indicating more than anything that she wasn't just some assignment he was told to complete. But jokes have to slide in there somewhere.]
[The thing is, Isaac's not always the best at words. He usually does his best to dance around something enough that the other person, if they're willing, will lead the rest of the way. But he has a feeling that Bonnie is going to make him try to use his own words, not ride the implications.
His head ducks as he tries to figure out what he does want to say. In the end, he knows that direct is probably his best play, for better or worse.]
I really like you. And I'm hoping that you might be coming back to Mystic Falls too.
( Bonnie has been both. Denied one, fallen for another, complicated the same thing again and then stumbled into what she had with Enzo. Usually, it takes more time and more familiarity to be with Bonnie, but she's not going to go and deny this spark. Not after everything, not with Danny.
Not that Danny's not a factor. )
I like you, too. ( Can she do this, whatever this means? With everything with Danny? ) I - am due for a return visit. Several years due. I don't know what will happen after. Or, what Danny will want. His parents, his sister, they're dead, and, he has me now.

If I can help, let me know.

( She hands the menu back. )
Do you like wine?
no subject
[He gestures to his mouth as he speaks.]
Super senses come with super taste buds and bad wine is ...
[Well. Bad.]

[But he'll happily let her order, as long as the food is good.]
Who were you pursuing?

[That sounds terrible, and he would have hated the idea of hunting his friends.]
I was a fugitive once. From the actual law.
[He hesitates, because this might be too heavy, but he has a feeling it will happen anyway.]
For a couple of months they thought I killed my dad.
no subject
( She doesn't ask. She's been with Isaac for two days now. He couldn't do that. )

[A beat.]
Not that the cops knew I was a werewolf.

I was an assignment. Really. Well, on a scale of 1 to allies, where do we fall, Isaac Lahey?
no subject
[He's underselling it, clearly. He could keep playing coy, but if there's one thing he's learned, sometimes it's worth it to just go for it.]
But if I'm completely honest, I might have brought it up to her because I knew she would want us to be friends.
[And spending more time with her seemed like a much better idea than not.]
no subject
( Is that what he's getting at? )
no subject
Is that weird?
no subject
( She smirks. It subsides, half falling. )
That's not weird. I'm flattered. London was... a massacre. But, I stood out.
no subject
[And that's putting it mildly.]
And, I'd like to think I have good instincts about these things.
no subject
( She teases. )
Isaac, I think you should say what it is you want to say.

You'll know where to find me, whatever that entails.
