In which Elijah is politely puzzled

[negotiates]

Apart from that little incident with Kol and Rebekah, I'd say the evening went quite well. The only thing missing was a dance with Elena.

[ Ahhhhhhh. Mun is flailing over that toast. ] Why are you so concerned?

I hope you're not getting any ideas there. [ -- buddy, he almost says, but catches himself before it comes out. Elijah did just save his little brother, after all. ]

With Elena? [ Okay, this may be a slight hint of a smirk; he does find the Salvatores' tug of war over Elena amusing. Not to mention ironic. ]

[ Just raises his eyebrows here. Does he really need to spell it out for Elijah? ]

[negotiates]

[ Nope, he definitely doesn't. Elijah elaborates: ] You've no need to be concerned, Damon. But I don't believe it's your place to play the jealous lover.

[eternal_stud]

[ Okay, maaaybe he has a point. Or maybe not. Damon's still all sorts of prickly. Even if Rebekah and copious amounts of booze might've taken the edge off just a tad. ]

Jealous? [ Rolls his eyes and scoffs. ] You've got it aalllll wrong, Elijah. I was just trying to give you a fair warning. Elena's way too hung up on my baby bro to pay attention to anyone else.

[ Sore? Damon? Noooo, not at all. See, he's even cocked up a corner of his mouth for good measure. ]

[negotiates]

Oh, I know. [ And he's just smiling, because he knows that Damon is totally covering his ass. Also Elena still clearly prefers Stefan. Sucks to be you, Damon. ]
