In the spirit of things being different here I wanted to be honest.

You know those Trials I mentioned? I think I got hit by one and it involved you.

Re: text

[complicity]

...What did I do to you this time?

[vervains]

I'm not saying you did anything!

It just involved you, it was a dream about you. I just

I wanted to talk to you

[complicity]

Then come find me. I'm at home. [Insert location here. ]

[vervains]

[ Elena's gotten a little more used to moving fast, meaning it doesn't take her long to get to the location. Longer than it might have taken other vampires, but she'll take the small win. When she gets there she knocks, definitely a little bit awkwardly. ]

[complicity]

[ Rebekah opens the door, steps aside to allow her in before closing it. ]

Drink?

[vervains]

[ She walks in and nods, rubbing the back of her neck. ]

Sure, yeah, that'd be great.

[complicity]

Alcoholic or no? [At least she's asking without assuming. Mot like Elena can get drunk either way, at least not easily.]

[vervains]

Oh, alcoholic for sure. [ Ten thousand percent alcoholic. This is going to require alcohol. ]

[complicity]

[Rebekah fills two glasses, adds ice and then brings the bottle over before settling back on the couch. ]

So what exactly did you want to talk about, Elena?

[vervains]

[ She plots down on the couch and takes a glass, trying to seem as not awkward as she possibly can. It takes a moment before she lets out a huff. ]

I dreamed a memory. You and a guy. Alexander. I'm...I owe you....[ why is this so stupidly awkward? ] Look, I'm sorry. [ Whether she's saying she's sorry for having seen that, or sorry that someone betrayed her in such a horrific way, or sorry for something else entirely is left up in the air. ]

[complicity]

You had nothing to do with that so I don't see why you're apologizing for what he did. [ Rebekah exhales a breath.]

[vervains]

I'm not. More so for having seen it when it's yours to share or not. [ Seems invasive. But this place loves invasive. ] It's not fair for me to just see it all and feel it. It was like I was there and having it happen to me. [ So she got how awful it was, which also seems invasive as all hell. ] It also kind of...gave me some perspective? [ She glanced away at that and ran a hand through her hair. ]

Thirteen sent Damon home. Thought you'd be happy to know that.

Re: text

[complicity]

It doesn't bother me personally either way.

Come to Tides, I'll take you out for a drink or twelve.

[vervains]

I am absolutely in no place at all to turn that down. It's definitely going to be twelve though.

[complicity]

There are plenty of bars and I've heard one has some unique dancers if you want to experience that.

[vervains]

Unique like how?

[complicity]

I think you need to go into this one blind. If you don't like it, we can always go back up to the bar and dancefloor.

[vervains]

You know right now I like the sound of that because it sounds distracting. And distracting sounds better than wallowing.

[complicity]

It's definitely an unforgettable experience and if I'm saying that?

So I'll meet you at the dock?

[vervains]

Then it must be impressive given all you've seen.

I'll meet you there.

[complicity]

[And true to her word, she's waiting at the dock for Elena to arrive in Tides. ]

[vervains]

[ as always Elena wears her emotions on her face looking obviously torn up over things. Still she's not going to let it completely ruin her. She gives a small smile. ]

Hey. Thanks for this, you really didn't have to.

[complicity]

[Rebekah shrugs a shoulder, glances at her.]

Passable enough I suppose unless you want to go shopping first.

[vervains]

[ Considering she's wearing just jeans and a lame t-shirt...maybe they should. ]

Maybe we should. Unless you want to be embarrassed by my lame lack of fashion.

[complicity]

I don't think anyone would judge you, but your wardrobe could use some work.

Come on, I know some good shops.

[vervains]

It is kind of lacking isn't it? [ she seems mopey about that too now. ] Lead the way. You're the one with fashion sense.

[complicity]

It took me some time to decide what worked with all the changes in the last century, but I can't say I miss the older fashions, either. [And the shopping itself is without incident really, Rebekah keeping things somewhat in line with Elena's own style.]

[vervains]

[ She's at least perking up some as they shop, still has the shadows of sadness, but one can't stay completely mopey in the face of so many cool things. When she gets into the perfect dress for a night out she twirls. ] You sure it isn't too much?

[complicity]

Not at all, but it definitely needs some jewelry to go with it to complete the look.

And your hair. [Rebekah's looking her over.]

[vervains]

Really? What's wrong with my hair? [ She picks some strands up and frowns. ] I guess it is kind of...the same. [ As always. Without any big changes ever. ]

[complicity]

Nothing for every day wear, but you want to do something diffeerent for going out, right?

[vervains]

[ She nods. ] Yeah, true. I guess it's just been a bit since I've been out. Sadly.
