No, it's not.

( He'd agree with her there. He wants them to get to know her. Never made it a problem. And if they wanted to, he would've foot the bill for the plane ride. But, he never wanted to broach the subject just in case.

He should've.
)

I can't see them being unwilling. I'll ask them before the wedding. Consider us on plane.

Great! Ben and his friend are coming down too, so it should be a good group.

[The coffee maker finishes percolating and she pauses, considering.]

You've been seeing someone too, haven't you? If you want to invite her as well, you can.

[She knows that he's been keeping it very casual, but if he wants to make it less so, Elena wouldn't mind.]
unforgivably: (underestimate me)

Friend?

( Damon? Gossip? He never knew her. )

... I'll ask.

( They've mostly avoided personal subjects, but before Damon knows it, he actually may want her involved. Meet his otherworldly kids. )

No pressure.

[She does know that Stefan says they're being casual about it but it has been seven months, so she just wants him to know the offer is open.]

Text me with how many are coming, and I'll make sure we have the rooms ready.

I can do that, then. I'll be in touch. How is it, being back at work?

( It feels like since Thanksgiving, she wasn't. Well, since the kidnapping. Hearing about that was shitty. But, she survived. )

It's been good. Things got smoothed out from the stuff at the end of the year, and I'm working with this new resident who's coming along really well.

[Alex is taking to pediatrics just as she expected he would, and it's been good to see him grown in an area that he's very invested in.]

I think I'm really starting to settle in.
unforgivably: (I make a great host)

[personal profile] unforgivably 2026-06-07 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
That's good, gives you more reason not to be all doppelganger-y.

( Getting kidnapped. What a drag. )

And how's Dean?

[personal profile] braveandstupid 2026-06-08 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Dean is good.

[She pauses as the coffee is finally done, and she pours herself a cup before settling in.]

And we are good. Things have been going really well.

[Elena is happy, happier than she's been in a long while, and she intends to enjoy it for as long as she has it.]

I hear that bunker really fills up.

( Stefan may have said a thing or two. )

It's bigger than it sounds. And there's plenty of rooms for everyone. Especially since Mom and Dad have moved out into their own place.

[And that was just better for everyone all around. She and Elena have done much less bickering now that each of them had their own space to manage, and more to the point their own room to retreat to.]

But if you're concerned about sleeping in a hunter bunker, there's a hotel nearby too.
unforgivably: (little fires everywhere)

[personal profile] unforgivably 2026-06-09 02:44 pm (UTC)(link)
There's no concern, I'm actually curious about the lodgings they call a bunker. I'll sleep more soundly knowing you're not living in some kind of a doomsday bomb shelter.

( You think he wouldn't take you up on your offer, Elena? You think? )

[She's just making sure. And giving him the option if he wants the out.]

Well, it's definitely not that. But good to know. We'll make sure we have the rooms ready. Anything else we should know in advance?
