@bloodyoblivion ⠀⠀ i’m not being funny, i’m telling you the truth.    [a messy, but delicious sandwich. she grabbed a butter knife and cut her sandwich diagonally, a little hum emitting from her as she set the knife in the sink.]    i didn’t know men cared enough to shave their eyebrows.    [she knew he was lying, but it was fine. he’d get it cleaned up, she’d make sure of that.]    why do you?

Haha, you're so funny * he commented dryly, leaning up against the counter, arms folded across his chest as he watched her make a mess of that sandwich. she knew what he had meant with that comment, the role he had taken on despite only being nine years older than his siblings * I cut myself shaving. It happens sometimes. Guess that's my cue to leave my eyebrows alone.

@bloodyoblivion ⠀⠀ no, don’t think you’re his father now. he’ll fuckin’ hate that shit. yeah, you guys had a deadbeat mom, it happens. what he needs isn’t a father, but a brother—- a friend. vic needs it too, but maybe a bit differently.    [she smushed everything between two slices of wheat bread, lips pursing.]    so, are you gonna tell me what happened to your face or do i have to play the guessing game?

@thornpetals ⠀⠀ [she turned away from the mirror and looked at the brunette, a smile tugging at her lips at the compliment. it made her heart flutter, but she couldn’t exactly just go and admit that. she grabbed one of the rings on the counter and slipped it on her middle finger before stepping out and closing the door behind her.]    she might not happy with it, but i know that i certainly am. are you ready to go? do you need to do anything before we hit the road?    [she had to call lillian over and say goodbye to her mom, but that would take all of five minutes.]

* she knew what the other meant, even without the words. Laurel had gone through something just as rough as Elena had, the reason the two girls had truly bonded. unlike Caroline, or Bonnie, both who just couldn't quite understand why the doppelganger had become so withdraw, Laurel understood, something Elena was forever grateful for * You look more than fine. If she's not happy with it, then so be it.

@thornpetals ⠀⠀ [she knew she should at least brush her hair, but elena said it should be messy. whatever elena says is good enough for her. she pulled at her hair, fingernails scraping at her scalp as she put her hair up.]    i’m an only child and i have never been the way caroline is.    [then again, she knew hardship. caroline didn’t seem to, but she could have. she didn’t know, they weren’t particularly close.]    i think i’ll settle for this. i’m not redoing my makeup, what i’ve got will just have to do.
