[  ....  ]               ❝   've  heard  great  stories  'bout  your  little  adventures  with  the  youngest  salvatore.  i  must  say,  you're  quite  impressive. you must have quite the restraint. although, i do wonder how long that would last ...  ❞

the  one      (  and  only  )      time  lexi  almost  lost  control  was  right  after  her  brother’s  death.    it  shouldn’t  have  happened.  she’d  always  been  so  careful,  never  feeding  too  close  to  home    /    never  compelling  the  villagers.    she  lived  as  human  as  she  possibly  could,    traveling  to  hunt;      snatch,  erase,  no  bodies.    the  only  thing  she  didn’t  take  into  consideration?    her  appearance.    as  benji  went  from  toddler  to  teen,  lexi  remained  twenty  -  one  forever,  never  ageing.      ⸻      and  the  villagers  noticed.    they  cried  witchcraft,  setting  fire  to  the  branson  home  in  an  attempt  to  kill  her.    lexi  escaped.    benjamin  branson  did  not;      he  was  only  sixteen.   

Katherine smirked at Lexi's question.

"I think my father's? Once upon a time, obviously he can rot in hell now." A casual shrug.

The bottle did not go unnoticed by any means. Katherine watches for all kinds of things in an interaction. It's how she knows when she can trust something, or when she needs to make an escape. It's how she gets information people don't realize they give.

Despite being a master of masking, Katherine's features soften just the littlest bit at being offered a Lexi brand invitation. Not particularly for any real reason other than for the first time in a long time, it seems like Katherine might actually be heard. Really listened to.

The older vampire took the bottle and poured herself a hefty glass before she sat it back down and took a sip.

"You sound like you have a history with that psychopathic asshole too." But she won't pry, she'll leave it at that.

"The first time I saw him.." Katherine started, looking into her glass at the amber liquid as if she were watching the memory in real time. "It was like something clicked in me. Like for a moment it felt like everything I'd been through was meant to lead me to him. Like my soul called to his. The moment I laid eyes on him everything just made sense for the first time in my life. Like Oh hello, there you are."

Her tone is a lot more truthful than she'd like to admit. She's not even buzzed, but the idea that she might actually be heard is intoxicating, and it makes her want to share. Coin flip if it means anything, it didn't with captain compassion.

"I know I've made a lot of mistakes, but loving Stefan isn't one of them. He made me truly happy for the first time in my life."

Suddenly it feels too real, and Katherine feels the fear of rejection gripping her chest. A coping mechanism creeps up from the back of her throat and she decides it's better to announce that no one cares just in case Lexi rejects her vulnerability. It hurts less if she expects it right? No.

"Not that anyone seems to care, but I really do love Stefan more than anything, all of this chasing my freedom for a hundred and forty five years has been so I could be with him and not risk Klaus killing him just because I love him. You all paint me as someone who is only in this for herself but I want my freedom so it's SAFE to love HIM."

the  honesty  surprises  her.    ⸻    observant  eyes  try  to  search  for  any  hint  of  a  lie,  but  if  they’re  there,  they’re  hidden  well  and  lexi  isn’t  an  easy  person  to  fool.  she  prides  herself  in    (  usually  )    being  a  strong  judge  of  character.    ＂    i  guess  we  all  look  for  that  at  some  point.    ＂    it  isn’t  a  topic  she  can  overly  familiarise  with.  her    &    her  brother  got  incredibly  lucky  in  the  parent  department.  they  lost  them  too  young,  too  soon,  however,  they  made  the  most  with  the  time  they  had.  she  knows  it  wasn’t  like  that  for  others.  index  finger  taps  thoughtfully  against  bourbon  glass  and  she  ponders  the  other’s  take  on  her  words  for  a  moment;  considers  whether  to  delve  deeper,  or  if  offering  personal  information  might  be  something  used  against  her  later.  everything  can  be  a  weapon.  it’s  a  lesson  all  vampires  learn  eventually.  she  opts  to  relent  in  the  end.  not  because  she  trusts  katherine.  it’s  too  soon.  no,  because  she’s  fair.  if  the  doppelganger  can  be  upfront  with  her,  lexi  should  show  the  same  respect.  quid  pro  quo.    ＂    they  rode  through  my  village  once.  one  of  them  made  me  an  offer  i  couldn’t  refuse.    ＂

back  straightens  against  the  cushions  of  the  salvatore  couch;  old  -  fashioned,  but  comfortable.  god,  this  boarding  house  was  in  serious  need  of  a  modern  woman’s  touch.    ＂    love  at  first  sight.  it  can  be  a  real  bitch.    ＂    she  remembers  it  herself.  lee  was  human  too,  when  they  first  met.  lexi  would  be  a  hypocrite  to  sit  there    &    pretend  she  didn’t  understand  the  concept  of  turning  someone  to  be  with  them.  she  did  the  same,  and  for  the  most  part,  she  never  once  looked  back.  like  katherine  said;  something  clicked.  the  blonde  realises  then,  in  that  moment,  that  while  she  might  live  to  regret  such  a  decision,  she  believes  her.  how  could  she  not?  this  was  stefan.  only  her  best  friend  could  inspire  such  poetic  words.
