Damon: "Can you turn it out a little bit? It's not annoying yet." he comes into Stefan's room where he's doing pull ups from a beam on the ceiling
Stefan: "Sorry."
Damon: "When are you going back to school?" he asks, turning off the music and watching as Stefan now does push ups
Stefan: "Soon."
Damon: "Oh come on. Just drink already. Come on, this self-detox is not natural." he puts a glass of blood next to Stefan's face
Stefan: "Can you get that away from me please?" he pushes his hand away
Damon: "How long it take you to wean yourself off of it the last time you indulged?" he questions and notices how he stays silent "That's not good."
Stefan: "I'll be fine. It just takes a little bit of time."
Damon: "I don't get it. You know, you don't have to kill to survive. That's what blood banks are for. I haven't hunted a human in...God way too long."
Stefan: "Oh I'm impressed"
Damon: "It's completely self-serving. I'm trying to get the town off the trail of vampires which is not very easy considering that there is an entire tomb of them running around."
Stefan: "What are we planning on doing about that?" he stands up from his spot on the ground and turns to face him
Damon: "We're not going to do much of anything if you don't have your strength. There's nothing wrong with partaking in a healthy diet of human blood from a blood bank. You're not actually killing anyone."
Stefan: "I have my reasons."
Damon: "What are those holier than thou little reasons? Because you know we never actually discuss that. You know, I-I'd love to hear this story."
Stefan: "You're really enjoying this aren't you? Just watching me struggle?"
Damon: "Very much so."
Stefan: "I hate to break into you Damon but...I actually have it under complete control."
Damon: "You do?"
Stefan: "Mm."
Damon: "Well, then you should just carry on, making the rest of us vampires look bad. Have a great day Stefan" he walks out the room, leaving the cup of blood and Stefan stares at it, quickly looking away when Damon comes back into the room "Oh, hey, I almost forgot. Oops." he grabs the glass and takes a sip, humming at the taste before walking out the room and down the hall to his room where Aspen is standing
Aspen: "You call that normal?" she points to Stefan's room
Damon: "He's fine." he shrugs
Aspen: "Fine? Are you kidding me? You should have seen him. He looked like he belonged in the woods, crouching over a dead body with their insides all exposed."
