It's usually a witch thing? Unless there's a hyper specific ritual to follow, but it doesn't make them more powerful, it just breaks the spell or the curse or whatever.
[But witches have to cast the spells all the same.]
And to be honest, it hasn't been a problem in a while. Elena's had it a lot worse.
[Technically Katherine too, but they're not talking about Katherine right now.]
[And for Stefan's sake, he hopes he stays that way.]
There was also a guy named Tom, but he's dead now too. There won't be another one of me for another couple hundred years, I think? But at the same time, there might not be another one at all, since the immortal causing the problem isn't immortal anymore and I'm not unkillable.
... Right. All I had was - well, I guess two replicas, one gross robot commissioned by I don't even want to tell you who, and active decoys from back when we were persona non grata with the government.
( But, she has the Slayage line going. Ancestors in her dreams. Girls born and called. Until she broke the convention itself. )
I'm sorry the other you's are dead.
( Her one decoy was killed, too, by the underground and a group of people who thought they had the real slayer. It was sad to hear. )
I mean, I'm sorry about Tom. He sounds like he was a good man who didn't deserve that. But Silas locked me in a safe and dumped me into a quarry where I drowned every day for three months straight so ... not sorry about him being dead for good.
And now neither am I. Every time you talk about Mystic Falls, it feels like so much happened in such a short period. And I thought I had it bad with my seven years with pretty spaced apart apocalypses.
( If she's getting her timeline right, she knows bits and pieces. But, considering a lot of that drama covered his fake high school career - that's only, what, two? Three years? )
It really was a time. But honestly, I learned a lot about myself.
[Not all of them good, and a lot of things he regrets, but he likes to think the end of his time in Mystic Falls resulted in a net-positive, rather than a net-negative.]
You're right. We don't need to spend our awake time trading stories of the unbelievable and the insane. We're together. You're alive. Ish. Let's focus on that.
( She nuzzles in closer. )
But, anytime you do want to talk. I'm always here.

Do you have a Katherine?
