( "She's passing them along," Max says.

"Before of after Christmas?" Ezra asks, leaning against the wall.

Max just turns. "...After?"

Ezra addresses the group. "Apparently, there's a big group Christmas. We received a passive invitation I think she knows we can't attend," he says, pointing between him and, David." After a beat. "Though, I guess we can now."

I think we can wait. Our travel time is negligible and I don't want to spend an entire evening being Bonnie's weird friend.

[Adrienne shrugs in return. "Fine with me. I don't know these people." And she's not curious to, when she's still getting to know the heirs in front of her.]

( "That British kid won't be there," Ezra contributes, Max, looking between them. )

[David nods, before looking at Adrienne.]

We've cleared a room for you upstairs. Do you need me to take you back to the city for anything?

[Adrienne nods. "I have some things, yes. I'll see if I can find a picture of the door."

David nods, before glancing over to Isobel.]

[foreclosures]

( Oh, she's being acknowledged now? )

Seeing as my return to Mystic Falls is imminent, I'll be staying. What kind of friend would I be if I left her behind. New world and all.

Great. So we'll go get both your things, and when we come back, we'll settle you both in.

[He'll be sure to task one of the minions with cleaning out a room for Isobel. It'll be a nice big cozy party. He'll also throw a glance to Ezra with regards to whether or not he wants to warn Elena while they're gone.

But with that, they'll head back to New York to get their stuff, and they'll settle in for a semi-awkward holiday all around.]
