Regis is quite easily as perceptive as Damon believes himself to be, and the young man's delicate current state makes him easier to read than usual. He wonders, briefly, if he should not have said anything at all, but the words had tripped out of his mouth before he had been able to have second thoughts about it.

He can't take it back, but he puts one arm gently around Damon's shoulders while they walk.

"If you care about him, Damon, do not give up on him."

Damon breathes in sharp at the sudden touch despite how gentle it is. His mouth parts and then shuts again as he walks forward.

"I haven't, but his memories were stolen back in our world, and there's not much I can do to change that. Hell, he doesn't want to change it, and I can't blame him. I've tried helping him in Wonderland anyway. He's still my little brother, but-" He shrugs slightly. His shoulders are tense. "Believe me, his life's better without all the baggage that comes with being a Salvatore."

His life's better without Damon in it.

He stops abruptly in front of the door to the right room, but one quick look inside, shows the mirrors in here have been shattered too.

This, at least right now, is one thing he will not try to change Damon's mind on. The younger vampire is in a fragile enough state that he can see it, and it would not be the correct time to press such an issue. Instead, he pauses alongside his friend and glances into the room in turn, a small frown furrowing his brow.

Rather than moving along, he enters, ensuring that the door is pushed wide open before he crosses the threshold. He'll not be taken by surprise, here.

A quick examination of the room shows up a very deliberate attempt to make sure that what they are trying to do can't be done, and he delicately picks up one of the larger mirror shards.

"It may be worth our time to look for anyone, and move on from there," he muses aloud, glancing to Damon for confirmation. "Chasing shattered mirrors will get us nowhere quickly."

"Means we're going to want to leave messages on mirrors. Let people know what's going on," Damon says even if he hates- he hates having to rely on anyone else. This feeling of powerlessness has become frustratingly familiar to him over the years in his own world, in Wonderland too.

It's mostly back in his own world.

The list goes on and on. He's learned how to deal with whatever comes, because options are limited. Usually it means just surviving. Usually it means holding on to hope despite all the odds, because it's all there is, and he has to believe he'll get back there in time-

Before his mirror can do anything terrible.

"Maybe there's someone else on this side who knows how to get back."
