Carol Lockwood stood above everyone for her speech, "This is all part of the historical society, continuing efforts back to the community. Thanks to the generous donation of the Fell family. We are now standing on the sight of our newest public park. Thank you to everyone who has shown up today to lend a helping hand. Thanks." She moved to get to work alongside the other members of their community. Mason was removing boxes from the trunk of his car as Stefan approached him. "Stefan, right? The other Salvatore," Mason spoke up, he had heard about Stefan from Tyler's comments about Cordelia; Mason didn't like how Stefan was treating the younger Forbes.
"The nice one. The one offering an apology," Stefan replied to Mason. "Not interested," Mason snapped out. "Look, my brother acted impulsively," Stefan expressed. "You think?" Mason responded with a sneer. "If you and Damon keep at each other throats, somebody innocent is going to get hurt and I don't want that. You have family here so I can imagine you don't want that either. So what do you say we just quit the whole Alpha male fighting thing and call a truce?" Stefan asked Mason hoping he would agree. After the conversation between himself and Damon, he knew they had more mending to do but it was a step in the right direction.
"I made that same offer to your brother. He turned it down with a knife," Mason replied to Stefan, his ego hurt by the action. "He made a mistake. I'm here to make sure that neither one of you make another one," Stefan explained trying his best to keep the peace. "Tell your brother to watch his back," Mason warned before he moved to turn away, Stefan caught his arm. "Well, I'm guessing that he only has to worry about that during a full moon. Otherwise you're not as strong, am I right?" Stefan asked noticing the hesitation in Mason's eyes, "Or you would have killed Damon by now. There's one of you. There's two of us. I think you're the one that needs to watch his back."
They were silent for a moment as Mason accepted Stefan's words. "If he comes at me..." Mason trailed off. "He won't," Stefan promised before they shook hands. "I'm sure that Cordelia wouldn't let any harm come to either of you anyway," Stefan told Mason who huffed. "She's got a good heart," Mason replied before frowning, "Don't break it." Stefan was silent as he nodded, he watched as Mason left. "What are you doing?" Damon asked as he approached Stefan, the younger Salvatore turned to look at his older brother. "Negotiating peace on your behalf," Stefan answered him. "I don't want peace," Damon told him. "Consider it opposite day," Stefan taunted.
"Stefan, please tell me you don't seriously think a hand shake just solved our problems," Damon questioned his younger brother. "No, actually, I think the first chance Mason Lockwood gets, he's gonna drive a stake through your heart and then through mine, all because you took it upon yourself to try and kill him. So thank you... because we don't have enough problems," Stefan snarked back before he walked away from his brother. Damon watched Stefan walk away before sighing, he knew that something bad was bound to happen and he didn't want Stefan to be involved. It was easier being the bad guy than it was living up to expectations.
