( if he has to find something to be grateful for in this situation, it is at least nice that misato is so unapologetically selfish. she's not elena or stefan, who coddle and cuddle as though any of life's great pains can be overcome if you just hug enough. misato doesn't bother with that; she takes the space on his bed because she wants it, and keeps to herself otherwise. they're hardly even in danger of touching at all.
if she could just not speak, that would be ideal. but damon knows how people react to tragedy, even if they like to think they're above interest in the lives of others: they want to talk about it, always. for some it's morbid fascination, for others a misguided and stupid investment in helping. for misato he'd guess it's a mix of both. what could hurt a vampire, she must be wondering, and also, how can i get this person whose emotions bleed into mine to stop being afraid?)
If you have a point please get to it quickly, ( he says, sitting up and rubbing his hands over his eyes. two of them, he has two, both whole, despite the psychosomatic burning in the left one. he has two eyes and his stomach is all closed up and no one's looked at his guts under a microscope in fifty years. he's fine.
