"Oh Damon, I do love this back and fourth we do." She mused, taking another drink.
It was entertaining, she loved a good battle of wits. Damon might not be on her level but he was closer than most people were she will give him that.
"You love giving me attention and you know it. I mean you just confessed how much you still care." She offered him a little wink, because why not pour a little more gas on that fire. She likes it hot.
Katherine took a second to refill her drink, letting him hang in silence for a moment. A silence Katherine knows damn well is a weapon between them.
"Yes, Damon that's still the plan after five hundred years because I don't know if you've noticed, but he's still alive and making my life miserable. Yours too you know." She added, gesturing at him with her now refilled glass.
"If I hadn't had to hide you wouldn't have had to believe I was dead for 145 years. Cause and effect. The three of us could have had the life we wanted if Klaus wasn't constantly breathing down my neck."
And that, is genuinely a truth. Her plan had always been to take them both, regardless of what Damon believes.
"Damon when have you ever cleaned up any of my disasters? I'm always picking up after you and Stefan, don't lie to yourself." She sighed as if disappointed they were still doing this song and dance. The same song and dance they've been doing since she came back.
"Besides Klaus is a you problem too, or did you forget he's after your precious me replacement? Oh and Stefan." She pointed at Damon as if that were the real kicker. "You and I both know he does nothing for Stefan but ruin his life. Kind of like you but to a worse degree."
Since they're jabbing at each other, she might as well.
"We want the same things remember? Klaus dead and out of the way and the doppelgangers free to live without fear of captain entitlement. Now that being said, I do think I have a lead." She gave a shrug before taking another drink. She wasn't going to tell him anything though, not substantial. After all she has to be in control of the situation to grantee she gets to benefit from it. She'll be damned if she lets them run off with her plan and cut her out of it. And she wouldn't put it past him, because it's what she would do.
