Fine. Fine, just-- look, we need to think of a way to keep watch on one another, yeah? Stick with Charlie, if not with me. Or Victor. We've got Talbot on a truce right now, but I'd rather not press things until we know for sure he's not going to slit our throats in the night.

I will, I promise. [ She knows and she understands all those things left unsaid. But hey at least Elena knows what the bastard looks like now, she knows who to avoid like the plague, and well she's the careful one; the one unlikely to hunt Talbot down and do something stupid. Something good come out of this. ]
