Hey, I wanted to ask you something.

text - abigail.

Are you busy?

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?

And that's not pampering myself?

I guess being ordinary might do. Considering, you know. Everything.

[Everything she's done, been through, won against. Lost against. Maybe.]

[It's odd for Elena to think that she's earned it now when for so long, she didn't think she necessarily deserved it anymore.]

I'll go back to being amazing in a few weeks, I'm sure. I don't know if you noticed this, but I tend to attract trouble.

[patheticvillain]

Yeah, well. That makes two of us.

[Elena is pretty sure Cassel makes roughly 80-90% of the trouble he gets himself into. But she won't say so.]

You seem to be doing pretty well here at least. You know, aside from reminding a really irritable vampire of her ex when she was going through a low-point.

[patheticvillain]

[She is super correct about that.]

Did I say sorry about that? Because I meant to say sorry about that.

It's not your fault. And besides, you're better than he is.
