for the rest of us death will be a relief

Oh. Right. You want to know about her? That won't be weird?

( He's never been a shopper, anyway. And shopping with his younger aunt and the hot werewolf girl - and his sister - yeah, he'd rather feel whole, with an identity today.

Speaking of... )

I think it's my turn.

[polydeukes]

Nah, I think it'd be cool.

[She has her own story to tell, but it could be fun to peak at someone else's. She then takes Erica's hand as they turn to head to the door.]

We'll see you around.

[And with that, she and Erica will head out the door while Breanna gets ready to set Gray up. Stephanie eyes up curiously, if there's something he wants to talk about, but she wait to see if he actually wants to talk.]

[scrutinously]

What. That's Aunt Josie. But, like, the Sliding Doors version. With two alive parents and a genuine smile on her face.

( Breanna can say whatever she wants, listen in, he feels freer talking about everything. And his sister was giving him that look. )

I know I've been taking this really well, but, that may have finally taken me to my limit. Everything here is different.

[meanestgirl]

Yeah.

[Stephanie settles, studying her new ID as she's glad that her brother is finally catching up with her in terms of freak-out land.]

Sure you want to go back to Mystic Falls still?

[scrutinously]

We don't have a choice. We may not know this version of him, but he's our dad. I at least trust that. If there are answers there, then, we stay on our best behavior, let all sleeping dog secrets lie unless directly asked - we'll survive it.

( Because they have each other. Yuck. He did not say that part out loud. )

[meanestgirl]

[Gross, sibling bonding.

But she sighs and nods.]

Fine. But if I tell the wrong person they're dead, it's on you both.

[Because from what she's guessing there's going to be a lot of dead people who aren't dead.]

[scrutinously]

( He keeps back his question, if his sister doesn't want to go to Mystic Falls - and why. But, they have to. There are too many questions. )

Blaming me will go over well.

( And make no sense. But, he'll take it. If we don't have any final beats here... )

[meanestgirl]

[Nope, this will be a wrap. She simply nods with a:]

Don't say I didn't warn you.

[And she'll head off to see if there are any snacks. /wrap]
