Then we arbitrate right back. They cast the first stone. People countersue all the time. Sue back? Resue?

You missed having the fancy lawyer in town. But I think it's countersue?

[Don't quote her on that though. Carroll is the paralegal, not her.

( "Well, whatever. If they embroil us in the ancient legal mumbo jumbo, then it's probably only fair," Buffy says with a huff. )

If that's how it works. It's admirable to want to meet them in the middle, but I doubt someone as established as "The Arbiter" can simply be influenced by a countersu...ing. ( Buffy abuses the English language. It is not easy to keep up with her. ) But, I agree, more research is needed. And in the meantime, I suggest not worrying so hard over it.

[Of course Stefan is going to worry about it. He's a professional worrier, especially since of the two entities potentially coming at them, he does know the Ivory Tower and their tendency to be vindictive.

But Klaus is right, and he tries to follow the same advice he said to Buffy earlier - it's a problem for another day.]

Would be a shame if we wasted all our time in New Orleans worrying about something that hasn't happened yet.

Well, if this plan is Stefan-approved then I am all for it. This place has food, right?

( And with that, they order, settle in and have a genuinely nice time. While Buffy abuses the English language. )
