❰ london croaks, a little, turning his head to peck and bite at sam's fingers, playful. like damon, the only way he knows how to interact with people involves a little bit of pain, but he's trying to figure out how to be better.

or maybe he's just a bird, and he shouldn't be psychoanalyzed so much.

their connection opens further, and damon smirks. yeah, he knew sam wouldn't be able to hold back for long. it'd be smug, and probably piss sam off again, if not for the blatant relief that he doesn't even try to hide. he missed you sammyyyyy. ❱

Shitty. I'm just glad the Nest got me from... this time. Last time I tried to teach a baby vamp it went... poorly. I didn't care enough.

❰ vicki was a mistake he doesn't think about often, but that doesn't mean damon doesn't know he fucked up. shitty thing is, she probably could have made it, if she'd had better teachers than him and stefan. she was unstable, sure, but if blondie's made it this far, vicki could have found a way.

rather than returning the question outright, damon prods at sam's mind, poking around for steve. how is sam doing, is there anything damon can do? ❱
