On mun making this account...

[bepositive]

This is so nice of you. But, uhm... No offense, but did we somehow skip the part where you are nowhere near the last episode yet, have no idea where I'm supposed to be from, and even less of an idea where to go with me? Did you make this account just so I could sit around and look pretty? Look, I like you, really, you seem... nice-ish enough. Plus I have to admire your spirits. Really, you do well with emotionally stunted fallen angels and stuff, but hey, I'm so much more fun! I mean, for one, I smile. This could be good, you know, just... please don't let me collect dust on the muse-shelf, 'kay? Once you figure stuff out, we could be a great team!

At least she's committed. This one flounders and can't seem to make a decision.

[bepositive]

Nah, I think commitment looks somewhat differently. What's the big holdup with yours, then?

[ruthlessnobility]

I've yet to figure that out. She claims she respects me too much.

[bepositive]

[mutters] Don't know if 'respect' is the right word...

[ruthlessnobility]

[He looks away.] I'm not so sure of it myself.

[bepositive]

Don't tell me you're feeling self-conscious. That so does not match what I heard about you, you know.

[ruthlessnobility]

There is much you do not know or understand yet. Of course, Damon knows more, but he remains agitated in this...head space all the same.

[bepositive]

Hey, you stay away from Damon, hear me?

[ruthlessnobility]

[A small puff of air leaves him as he smiles, clearly amused. There's little Caroline could do to him so, but he does admire the loyalty all the same.]

I assure you. I have no quarrel left with Damon.

[bepositive]

Good. I... would have hated to take drastic measures, you know.

[Not that she could have. But pretending helps a little.]

[ruthlessnobility]

As would I.

[bepositive]

[Well, have an audible gulp. And a nervous chuckle.]

Aw, nah, no need to get all feisty now, right? What else is new with the world?

[ruthlessnobility]

My mun has said it would not be wise for me to tell you. I have to agree with her.

[He's not an expert with timelines and how those work, but he's fairly certain telling her something about his present would disrupt a certain delicate balance.]

[bepositive]

Uhm. Okay. But, you don't need to listen to her. You can tell me.

[Don't make her curious!]

[ruthlessnobility]

I'm well aware. I owe nothing to this girl and for the moment, her attention is focused on Damon Salvatore.

Still, I believe if we were to know the events of our lives before they happened, all of us would know them without needing another to say.

[bepositive]

She sounds like such a smart girl, your mundane. I'm on the back burner behind someone crazy, can you believe it?

[ruthlessnobility]

Well, perhaps it is out of affection she waits to play with you rather than anxiety like mine.

[He's not really sure, but it's probably a nicer sentiment than being rated less important than someone insane.]

[bepositive]

You're right, that does sound reasonable. And you know what, I bet in your case it's just because of your weird speech patterns, so nothing personal or anything.

[ruthlessnobility]

I'm not sure what you mean.

[He speaks just fine, okay.]

[bepositive]

Well, see, you're kind of... old. And I don't even mean that in a bad way. But you talk so old too, so maybe that's why your mun is struggling.

[ruthlessnobility]

[Observant of you, Caroline. Still, he has an edge of amusement.]

And how would you propose I speak instead?

[bepositive]

Well, we live in the 21st century, don't we? So... adapt. I mean, try to talk more like Damon maybe. I bet that would get you promoted to active muse in no time at all!

[ruthlessnobility]

I cannot think of a single instance where I would want to speak like that.

[He side-eyes his mun who has lost the ability to breathe from laughter.]

[bepositive]

Well, I get that you're really, really ancient and probably very patient. But if I were you, I wouldn't want to sit on some shelf collecting dust while your mun has fun with Damon. Your choice, I guess. But really, you could do with being a little less stiff. And... threatening.

[ruthlessnobility]

The alternative to waiting is listening to Damon whine, Caroline. At least waiting affords me peace.

[bepositive]

Aw, chin up, old man. Damon isn't so bad. And your mun has other muses, hasn't she? So you got plenty of company. You can throw a party, get to know everyone. I can give you great advice on making friends!

[ruthlessnobility]

[His choices range from a vampire slayer to an alcoholic angel.

...No thanks.]

I would only care for my sister's company and my mundane as of yet has not made up her mind when it comes to Rebekah.

[bepositive]

Hm, but you know. Maybe it's better if your sister doesn't join the party. If she did, you wouldn't get to, you know, play in a game with her! Wouldn't you want to play in a game with her? I bet you would.
