It can be. If you're going to do something, don't apologise for it.

@rxdiantshadows,
             ⠀⠀ yes, actually. is that a bad thing?

Has anyone ever told you that you apologise far too much?

Did you happen to miss the part where I said no one else would do it? You do realise if I didn't, they would be more than happy to reign whatever form of terror around the world that they saw fit. Perhaps it isn't the most ideal of jobs but it is a necessary one and I do intend to ensure my siblings don't burn the entire world down if I can help it.

@knightvows,
             ⠀⠀ but why do you have to carry the responsibility?    [  she crossed her arms as she looked over at him, as if she wanted to gauge his reaction. she hadn’t, but it certainly could have seemed that way.  ]    i mean.. sure, you’re the noble one, but why does that mean everything goes down to you?

This family already has a trio of irrational hot heads * he pointed out mildly, referencing Niklaus, as well as Kol and Rebekah * Though that may be stretching the truth slightly. Someone needs to ensure they keep a level head to prevent too many accidents from happening. And it certainly isn't going to be my siblings.

* he hesitated then for a moment, not out of any care for Klaus, but out of his own memories * I wasn't left to rot, as you put it, as long as Finn was. But long enough that you slowly start to lose your own mind. I can't even begin to imagine what it's done to Finn. I went my own way after we changed. I didn't want to be anywhere near them. Not after what they did... I came back for a brief time, and that was the first time I ended up in a coffin with a dagger through my heart. But really, what is fifty years to a vampire? Once it was out again... well, I left again, this time for a few centuries.  Only came back into contact with them after hearing about Katherine. Ended up getting daggered over that too. That was worse.

@sinfulkiss,
             ⠀⠀ [  thalia hadn’t been undead long enough to process anything, the feelings that came with her new transformation—- part of her didn’t even want to, she just wanted to use that anger and hatred and stick it to klaus. she would lose, but that could end up killing her. she needed to survive this, she needed to overcome her thirst and make it back to her son, if that were even possible.  ]    has he ever given anyone a choice? it’s hard to believe, especially hearing how many times he’s staked all of his siblings. actually, i don’t think i’ve ever heard of him staking you and leaving you to rot in a coffin for hundreds of years like the others. has he?

Yes, he has a bad habit of burning bridges over the most trivial of things when he could just learn to walk away from the problem. Though this time it was far from that. He didn't even give you a choice. Not that you're the first. He doesn't give many choices to anyone unless it suits him. * hell, how many people had been lost over the years simply because his brother had taken some stupid idea into his head? how many lives had he ruined and torn apart because it suited him? Arutha had lost count over the centuries and there was no doubt others he didn't know about. he didn't stay around his family for a reason *
