[She was specific. She said "lying about who they are." Yes, everyone lies, but when you have a doppelganger who liked to pretend to be you at the drop of a hat and screw with your life, you take that particular kind of lie a bit personally. Never mind what Shane and Hayley did to Bonnie and Tyler, or any of the other countless con artists who have come to Mystic Falls over the years.
Even her relationship with Stefan couldn't survive when she saw how far his mask slipped.]
I'm not unsympathetic to that.
[If this is their real story - which she will confirm with what David may have told Bonnie - then it's certainly points in their favor.]
But it's not just going to magically be what it was again. Some things need to be rebuilt.
[She takes another long sip of her coffee before setting it down.]
I think this is a good start, though.
[The door's open, just a crack. But if things keep going their way, there's a chance things will be better open again.]
[No there wouldn't. And that's the part that matters to Elena, anyway. The world was always going to bring it's drama. It's important that the relationship is solid.]
[But unless there's anything else, she's going to finish her coffee and head home to her bestie, head heavy with questions that she hopes Bonnie can answer.]
( Their summit has pushed their friendship forward, for better or for who knows, but it needed to happen. There's nothing else at the moment as he lets her go and invites his husband out for a later dinner if he's free.
Bonnie is on Elena's couch, an open bottle of wine sitting in front of her, whatever she was watching on mute. As the door opens, she pours the second glass and holds it up to Elena as she enters. )
So, we trust them just enough until they prove us otherwise. You're right, we have been tricked before, and lied to, and hunted. ( And been the hunter. ) David is our only lead.

( He cracks a smile. )
You have to admit, I had the mysterious "what does he do after hours" thing going.
no subject
There were definitely questions of if this was a "husband named Albert who lives in Vancouver" situation.
no subject
( Avenue Q. Alright. )
no subject
Exactly. I'm glad to know that he is in fact a real person and that you guys really are happy. I hope you're happy?
no subject
( There wouldn't be a PSL if everyone were happy altogether, now would there. )
no subject
Good. I'm glad.
no subject
( not according to the Colony, but what the Colony doesn't know won't hurt them. )
no subject
[She will give him that much.]
I feel like we're on more even ground now, at least. Hopefully we'll be able to figure it out from here.
no subject
( Inevitable last words, as they will probably lie again. But, he tries. )
no subject
I'll let you know.
[But unless there's anything else, she's going to finish her coffee and head home to her bestie, head heavy with questions that she hopes Bonnie can answer.]

Hey, how was your day?
no subject
[She takes the glass of wine before going to sit next to her friend, tucking one leg under the other as she sits.]
Though I am curious. How well do you know David?
no subject
( Tentatively, they are allies. )
no subject
[She leans back against the couch.]
If what Ezra says is true, his parents had him possessed when he was just a kid.
no subject
( She grabs her glass of wine hugging it close. She repositions, resting her legs under her. )
no subject
[Elena shakes her head.]
The more I hear about the Colony, the more I already strongly dislike them.
no subject
( Except, it is. Maybe it's not surprising. )
Bela wasn't wrong about how dangerous they are. It makes sense why David might be working toward his own ends. Why he could help us with the twins.
no subject
I want to trust him. Them. And I really hope we can. I just ... I'm nervous. We know how bad these things have gone in the past.
no subject
no subject
I don't know him as well as you do. But if you think we can trust him, I trust you.
[She'll always trust Bonnie. They've been burned together, and she doesn't think that Bonnie would put her in harms way.]
Just be careful with him, okay? I want you to be safe too.
no subject
( She hopes, anyway. )
I will. I promise.
no subject
[She takes another sip of her wine.]
Though Ezra also told me that David can teleport?
no subject
( What? )
no subject
[Which on the one hand, kind of cool, on the other ...]
Probably saves him a ton on airfare.
