( It's the truth. They've never met Stefan. He died long before. He's aunt Caroline's dead husband and their dead uncle. And only recently did they learn he was human when he died. )
Wouldn't, not off the cuff like that. We were actually planning on keeping a lot to ourselves because what good would it really do?
( And there "dad" went and blew that. And it's not funny, dry or not. He's dead. He's dead in another universe and talking to them here. What are they supposed to do with that? )

It's complicated. I don't blame you for missing what's familiar. Especially when so much here is different.
["You know that you're one of those different things, right?"

Why would he tell you that?
no subject

Did he tell you anything else?
no subject
[And again, he's been dead a long time.]
I heard something about Bonnie giving me the cure, and that's how it got to Damon, but not much else.

( And therefore, it's pointless. )

[It is what it is at this point. They made their choices and unfortunately Gray and Stephanie will have to live with them while they're here.]
But it could help us understand you better. You don't have to keep secrets to protect my feelings.
