I appreciate that.

[Acknowledging that she didn't deserve it, anyway. And while she doesn't feel like she was applying pressure, maybe she was. Maybe she was trying to push him too far too fast.]

And I'm glad you're okay.

[phonetically]

Kind of. Enough, anyway. I kind of don't know what to do next. I'm not close to biting some passing agent's neck, but I know I skipped major steps in the vampire recovery process.

[impetere]

Maybe you should call Caroline?

[It's not that she doesn't want to help, but she is not a vampire, so maybe he needs to go right to the source.]

She is supposed to be your vampire sensei, right?

[phonetically]

Not sure if me bailing makes her that still, but I guess Mr. Miyagi never wasn't.

Maybe I can call you after? I owe you a lot.

[impetere]

Yeah, I'll be here.

[She's not planning on going anywhere. She'll hang onto this burner until William's new indestructable phones arrive.]

Signal can be spotty in the bayou, though, so if I miss you, I'll call you back.

[She promises this time.]

[phonetically]

Me too.

( And in another thread, Caroline's phone rings in the bunker as they contemplate research assignments... )
