[ visual / location: damon's room ] she broke down and let me in made me see where i've been

[ after a long night, damon didn't have the energy-- or honestly, the desire-- to kick stefan out. it's been a hard, keeping to their self-imposed separation. damon's used to being able to track stefan down whenever he feels like; having his brother firmly back at katherine's side has put awkwardness where previously there was none

[ max sounds pretty amused at the enfolding scene, although it does make her a little wistful. she hasn't seen most of her own family for nearly a decade, and she's had to kill one brother and let go of another (who was in love with her, but she doesn't talk about that ever). one sister betrayed her and another is dead. manticore's regulations meant that it was pretty much impossible for them to share beds the way the salvatores are doing, but there were games of escape and evade during training, staying up after lights out and talking, and comforting one another whenever one was suffering from seizures. it wasn't much, but those moments were all they had, and she cherished them.

it's screwed up and she knows it, but some days, she misses the fruitless searches for her "siblings". at least then, there was still hope. ]

I prefer coffee as a wake-up call myself, but that's pretty effective.

[ max knows very few pop culture references, and has been exposed to more since arriving in taxon, but that's one that throws her off. (apparently she's been introduced to batman, but not star wars, outside of the movie footage she'd stolen and fenced for twenty grand back at home.) ]

What?

What, you mean like robots? Were they pets or something?

[ no, but she's stolen and fenced footage for a take of twenty grand. ]

That's the one where the aliens fight the predators and the captain's ship gets caught in the crossfire, right?

He's a bed hog. Always has been.

[ there's... actual affection in damon's voice. trolling, yes, but with last night still so close he can't pretend to be unaffected quite yet. ]

[ careful, damon, your sentimentality is showing. ]

That's siblings for you. Always hogging something.

What can I say? I never was that fortunate son.

[ and stefan was, but this morning is too pure to sully with old jealousy. ]

Is that a movie reference?
