If you want to stay on this, there's probably some trees we could shake. I want to ask Klaus about the Arbiter Rusty mentioned, too. I have a feeling we might see him again.
I'd ask Faith, but she's like the guy in Memento about it. Claims she doesn't remember saying anything at all. Kind of funny if she hadn't, we wouldn't know who we were dealing with.
( She has to question. )
How far do you think we should take our trust in Rusty?
No. He was organized. Focused. Efficient. There's just something about him, like, what's left after the vengeance. There's one more round of bodies, and of witches and then --
Oh, I'm sure she is. But she might enjoy the distraction.
[And it'll give him an opportunity to take the temperature on how things are going with her parents, if he and Buffy are going to be eventually heading up to Kansas.]
[He nods, because he understands the feeling ... though maybe for less altruistic reasons. Regardless, he leans in to brush a kiss to her forehead, before taking them back to bed for some much needed rest.]

[What will that mean once all the Inner Circle is dead and he doesn't have a direction to point in anymore? Stefan isn't sure.]
Why? Did you see something you didn't like?
no subject
( It's just on the top of her mind right now. )
I don't know. It's just a feeling.
no subject
[Stefan can't blame him for wanting to finally rest.]
I don't think he's intending to implode. But we could always check on him after all is said and done if it would make you feel better.
no subject
( But. )
But, maybe we - keep one eye on him. That Ezra guy? Stay one degree of Kevin Bacon away, but, we can help if we're needed. Or, intercede. If needed.

Maybe we should loop in Elena. She's the one who's been spending the most time with him.
no subject
( She didn't get the entire story, but understood that there was a betrayal involved. )
We should, if she isn't up to her elbows in family drama.

[And it'll give him an opportunity to take the temperature on how things are going with her parents, if he and Buffy are going to be eventually heading up to Kansas.]
I'll give her a call tomorrow.
no subject
( Unless she's there next to him when he does, or in his vicinity. She'll be kept in the loop. )
no subject
[He gives her hand a squeeze, before tipping his head towards the bedroom.]
But I think for now, we should try to get some sleep.
no subject
( But, she's this old now, and she's yet to have many days that haven't ended like that. )
