( and he guesses Ezra and David were banking on that. Dean's still a good read on people. )
And Damian's mark is tied to another Inner Circle member going down, but we don't know which one. ( he doesn't like that, either. ) For what it's worth, he's doing this for you, but he's going about it all wrong. And the faster we waste the Inner Circle, the faster the Gauntlet is wrapped up. I know you don't like it. He's a pusher, Cady. Doesn't make him wrong.
[She just knows that when she gives a little, things end up getting pushed further than she'd like in the end.]
Just ... keep an eye on him, okay. Technically his job was to watch me for if the Colony ever decided they needed to quickly obtain the doppelganger, and they're not in charge of the Colony yet.
[She feels like maybe it's supposed to be implied in how he still wants to be friends, and wanted to start over, but those specific words have never left his lips. Probably because he didn't want to commit to a promise he isn't sure he can keep. Elena's trusted the implications before, and it hasn't always worked out in her favor - and in other ways, neither have the promises.]
[His tone is dry, because he's already been here longer than he wanted to be, but things to be finally moving now.]
Are we good?
["We're good. We'll head back to the bunker to meet up with Rowena and Sam, and once everything is done with the wards, I'll take Ezra to the local hotel."]

( because, he'd bet money on Ezra never handing Elena over. or at least coming to her if something like that came. )
He's got my one eye and he'll have Sam's other. And if Rowena's vet doesn't go through, then - ( he whistles and hikes a thumb back. )

( he takes her hand. but there're two husbands and a kid waiting, but he can show her how much more later.
he turns her around, and they return to David. )
