( elena bites back a comment about how she isn't the one that's pretending.
it wouldn't be helpful, and she can't disregard the sentiment, not when things were left on such awkward note with caroline. until elena returned to wonderland and couldn't find her, she hadn't given klaus a second thought. the feeling is assuredly mutual, their concern extending to a shared love and concern for a person who couldn't be further away from them. it's an impossible kind of distance, the one you feel for someone standing right in front of you. elena could reach for her, and her hand would remain empty.
she's moved into the room now, picking up what's left of mr. cuddles. )
We're not pretending, Care.
( she glances at klaus, who's remained silent and still up until now. he knows more than she does, has lived far longer than she does, but they both have experienced much of the same things: bouts of no humanity, a hunter's curse and then some. )
