re: her life being really hard right now (also maybe being sent to ataraxion post nano)

Okay. Let's take it from the top, and we'll even keep it to the last few months to make things easier.

First, you turn me into a hybrid. Then you have a friend torture me with magic. Then you blow me up. And to round everything else out, you decided that me and Klaus needed "roadtrip bonding time."

Now, you're dragging Stefan into it? Don't you realize how hard that's going to be for him? This isn't about me. I can handle Klaus. He's been hurt enough and you should have left him out of it.

Also, why are you even looking at that other place? Do you remember the last time you tried to stick me on a crazy space ship? It didn't exactly work. I don't care that there are actually ...

[a pause]

Okay, I do care that those people are there, but don't you have enough on your plate? Besides, you can't send me there for a couple months anyway, so why start thinking about it now? Plus isn't there enough horror in my life? Why me?

"Because you're Elena Gilbert" is not an answer.
