Fifth Bite; Dictated; Joint Post
[Lexi's knocked down her journal on the ground, but hasn't quite realized it yet, mostly because she's focussing on something rather intently.] Come on Stefan. You haven't eaten any of your carrots. I'm not going to have to force you to, am I? Cause that'd be kind of weird and all.
[ And bunny Stefan attemps to scamper off towards a blood bag. And then there's a thud. Where there used to be a baby bunny, there is now a full-grown Stefan Salvatore tumbling over the side of the bed. ]
Lexi gives an excited squeal, using her vampire speed to quickly rush to his side.] Stefan! You're you again. Well, non-bunny you, which no offense, but it totally kicks the ass of bunny you.
[ Would Stefan cover himself right away? Yeah, he doesn't really care. This is Lexi. She's seen it. So, instead, he climbs back onto the bed and holds his head. ] How long...
A couple of weeks. On the plus side, pretty sure no one but me knows about this. I didn't tell anyone.
Thanks. [ He looks around their room. ] Why a rabbit? [ He remembers something. ] Katherine's here.
Who knows? Guess the castle thought it was your spirit animal. [She frowns a little at the next part.] Yeah, she is.
That's the last thing I remember. Bluffing my way through a conversation with her.
Maybe the Castle thought you needed a break. Can't blame it on that. I don't think anyone was exactly thrilled she showed up. [Not that Lexi's ever met Katherine, but still.]
Take the person away who can protect Elena? Elena. She doesn't know. She probably thinks I'm still in rehab.
There are other people who can protect Elena. Your friend Caroline is here. [Pause.] Probably. Well, it's up to you if you want to tell her what really happe- [It's about now that she realizes her journal is kicked open on the floor.] Or the Castle can just take care of that for us.
What do you[ He glances down, his head is now in his hand. ] Katherine. Great.
Well. Cat's out of the bag now. Or bunny, as the case might be. [She can't help but sound a little amused by all this.]
:
...This isn't really funny.
Come on Stefan. It's a little funny.
[ He glares. ] Guess, this is as good a time as any. For those who ... I'm back. [ He looks at Lexi. His mouth does curl into a smile. ]
See? You think it's kind of funny too. Come on, I imagine you want to get out of this room after being cooped up in here for a couple of weeks. I know I do. [And with that she picks up the journal from the ground and closes it.]
