Re: [ Private to Damon/Vlad ]
I would offer sympathies, but as you say there is little enough that can be done about the past save to accept that it has happened and to find a way to move forward. Tragedy is not something unique to vampires as a species, it seems.
I do agree. Acceptance is something necessary, and that is something too that will have to be worked on.
I do not excuse your brother's behaviour, you must understand. But that too I not so very uncommon. You are his brother, after all. More than that you were all that the other had for some time. It was unfair toward you, undoubtedly, and I think he must realize that himself, but logic and emotion have seldom gone hand in hand, particularly with the young.
I only hope that wherever your Sire is, she is suffering greatly. It is more of a mercy than she deserves.
