[Damon's voice is sharp. Anger is easier than fear. It's easier for Damon to be hated than to be loved, than to accept that someone might care about him. Accepting such a thing requires vulnerability. It requires him to ignore all the shit he's done.
Pretend like it doesn't make him incapable of being loved. His voice is sharp because he can see how close Stefan is to passing out, which is worrying despite himself. He went through this with Klaus. He died multiple times and came right back which means these deaths can't be mansion deaths, but he still can't handle his brother dying regardless. He pushes up to his feet after he manages to get a fire starting in the fireplace, moving over to the couch until he's pressed up close to his brother.]
My advice would be, You're not allowed to die of hypothermia, Stefan, or you will regret it.
People don't like my advice, but it is right a lot of the time. Point is you need someone delivering the softer advice and someone being an asshole about it.
