( abruptly, it's not bonnie that fills damon's head, but liz, and with her face comes a palpable pang of longing that even lakshmi might feel. liz isn't as close a friend as ric, really, their friendship still tenuous as she navigates the whole new world of friendly vampires, but she was a lot like lakshmi, once. she didn't think vampires were still people, called them it even staring them in the face... and now look at her. daughter a vampire, slowly settling back into her friendship with damon, accepting that the world is a strange place where sometimes the vampires are the good guys.
or at least the good-er guys. damon's pretty sure no one can call him good and really mean it.
At what point does it turn from falsifying to real? A year of good behaviour? Five? Ten? If a vampire lives without hurting anyone else for decades, do they get to be a person again, or is the great and wise Arbiter of All Things Acceptable going to deny that too?
the derision in damon's question is clear, even mentally, lakshmi found utterly wanting in the face of the two women she brings to mind. )
