❰ Which of us started this bullshit, hm? Which of us was the one in the nest for two seconds before they started trying to murder people?
damon lets that question settle for a moment before he starts again, calmer this time.
Do the math, Lakshmi, I was here for months before you were. No one died. No one was injured who didn't injure me first or literally ask for it. Meanwhile you're here for two weeks and all of a sudden it's war with lines drawn and shots fired. I am not the monster here. I am not the one tearing the nest apart.
I'll show you respect when you earn it, buttercup. And you can start by not being a dick because I dare not to fall at your preciously superior human feet. ❱
( Then have a care for where I have been, Damon Salvatore, because it has been a war for centuries. The sorrow I have seen is not undone by a few weeks of good merit. But I swore to your Sam my hand will be stayed. I have kept my word since the first day. )
[ but she can and she will, openly as she is wont, resent their presence. The source of her argument with Sam, she will stay her hand, she will not kill them, but she will never betray the suffering of her own body and of her own people, but playing house with them. ]
(Come if you feel like having a use. If our merit is our good and bad actions for the sake of the hive, then I only care about the ones that get us through this mission. If there is no respect between us for that, then we all are already dead. )
❰ Oh, shit, man, you're so right. You haven't tried to kill my friend in two weeks, that makes everything perfectly fucking fine, doesn't it? Don't act like you have more reason to hate me than I do you, you don't know me. I've never been to fucking India, I don't know where the fuck Jhansi even is. If you're going to hate me, hate me. I won't be a stand-in for your issues, I'm plenty shitty on my own without your sob story pinned on my goddamn back.
after a moment —
And don't exaggerate, neither of us has even been alive for centuries, plural. This isn't war, even if you want to make it one. You're just a traumatized girl trying to make yourself feel better about your fucked up bullshit by making it bigger than you. You're not special. ❱
because yeah this is not the end of their fighting by a long shot, and they both know it. but damon has had it up to the gills with holier than thou queens for the evening, so. #bye bitch, the mental link is closed and it's not opening back up. ❱
