Hey, I wanted to ask you something.

text - abigail.

Are you busy?

video.

I've been thinking a lot since we were able to talk to people from home.

I've never really been away from home before until now. Not for a really long time anyway. Not like this. I miss the people there, but...

[There's a small pause.]

I'm not sure if I want to go home. I don't mean staying on the Barge. I know that once I'm done here, I'm done. But just...staying in Mystic Falls? I don't know if I can go back to my life like that. I don't know if I can go back to the same people like that.

Does anyone else feel like that?

[secretasshole]

Yes.

I've never had any intention to return to where I left.

[forgetyourusedtobe]

Are you just going to stay on the Barge?

[halftheman]

[ Harvey chuckles, faint and dry. ]

All the time.

But where else would you go? If you didn't go to what you knew.

[private]

[forgetyourusedtobe]

I don't know.

[She shrugs a little.]

There's a whole world out there that I haven't been able to see. And I've got time to see it now.

Do you think you could ask the Admiral to change my cabin?

private

[versusnurture]

Not really.

[she is staring at the ceiling thinking about murders and stuff]

What's up?

private

[forgetyourusedtobe]

I was wondering if maybe you'd like to have a girl's night. We could, I don't know, do our nails, talk, read, watch movies, do whatever. And you could spend the night in my cabin.

[patheticvillain]

I'm never going home.

[For once, this isn't a dramatic statement. It's just what's true.]

[forgetyourusedtobe]

Do you think you'll ever leave the Barge then?

[semifreakingnormal]

Are there...people you'd miss? [TENTATIVE. ARE THEY COOL. HE DOESN'T KNOW IF THEY'RE COOL.]

[forgetyourusedtobe]

[THEY'RE COOL LIKE THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PILLOW, SCOOT MCCUTE.]

A few. My best friends are still there.

[lastrat]

Did you talk to anyone worthwhile? From home.

[forgetyourusedtobe]

I did. [She smiles, fond and a touch sad.] I got to talk to Alaric and Caroline.

[fireincarnate]

A little. [Her voice is soft.] There are people I love, back home, but... [But she almost killed them. But they saw the worst of her. But she has so, so much blood on her hands.

She shakes her head.]

I think I should, though. [She'd promised Charles.] But that doesn't mean it's the same for you.

[Her brow furrows, then.] If you - I mean. My world is probably very different.

[forgetyourusedtobe]

What's it like?

[Elena's undecided if she would want to go to a different world, but she hasn't ruled it out. She wants to hear the options, at the very least.]

[mightthinkthat]

Better to move on. Going back might just cause stagnation.

[forgetyourusedtobe]

So you don't plan on going back?

[strangehistorian]

...Yes. Sometimes.

There's just nothing left for me there, as much as I love it.

[forgetyourusedtobe]

You're a warden, aren't you? You wouldn't make a deal to make it better?

[persecutioncomplex]

I'm not going back.

The only reason I would go isn't there, not anymore.

[forgetyourusedtobe]

There's really nothing else waiting for you there?

[ukan]

Nearly all the time. Yes. I hear some people are able to go other places--but look at how well the Admiral steers. I don't know if I could trust him to take me there.

[forgetyourusedtobe]

Is he the one dropping people off?

[ Video ]

[surfaceshine]

Not me, but then you knew that.

Doesn't mean you're not absolutely right. This ship'll drop you off anywhere you ask, you know. Doesn't even have to be the same world you started out on, and certainly not the same city.

[forgetyourusedtobe]

I guess I'm just unsure if I can really start over.
