Caroline absolutely had not expected to hug Klaus. Who actually had ever hugged Klaus? She knew his affections for her, and she knew he probably thought she would just shrug it off, as she did so often in the past. But right now, Caroline was beyond happy to have him. And not just because he was familiar to her, it was more than that. He knew her morality, and he knew that she couldn't handle it if she hurt someone. He could make sure that she didn't. And that meant a lot.
She'd been so messed up after killing the 12 witches. She'd only done it for Bonnie, but that still didn't excuse expunging twelve human lives. She knew what she was doing when she did it. She'd been warned, she knew she'd kill them. But she couldn't bear to lose Bonnie. She was one of her best friends. Their relationship had been different since Caroline became a vampire, but they were still close. Caroline would have done anything to protect her. And she'd do it again, even knowing what it cost. Still, the guilt weighed heavily on her, as Caroline did not want to kill people.
"I know, thank you." She told Klaus quietly. It still felt so good to just stand there with him, embracing him. In all of this, he was the one thing that made any sense to her. And it was so much better, she was so much calmer, now that he was here. She never thought she'd be so relaxed around Klaus. It was a foreign but welcome feeling. "And I'll try some of that moonshine stuff too." She laughed a bit. "Can't be any worse than tequila, right?" She was hoping not. Tequila didn't taste particularly good, but it got the job done.
She probably should have felt a little guilty about being so close to Klaus right now, but oddly enough, she didn't. She felt pretty good about it, actually. She'd been thinking about him since graduation. It hadn't even been that long ago, but being in 1935 made it seem that way. How odd.
