Re: Holding Pens - Mikan
"You're welcome, Mikan," Stefan replied, formally. "I look forward to spending time with you."
And with that, he nodded quickly, and headed towards the exit. He wasn't using the preparations as an excuse. He did have communications to make, and he'd seen all he'd needed to see. And he could already imagine Damon's reaction, if he had one at all--dismay. Annoyance. Confusion. He predicted there would be at least one physical confrontation--which usually resulted in Stefan getting fucked, literally or figuratively. And maybe that had influenced his impulsive decision, just a little.
