[ The news about Jenna surprises him. Just when he thought the day couldn't get any worse for her...
He presses his lips together; frowning slightly when he notices the tears in her eyes. He shakes his head and lets out a crooked smile, attempting to make light of the situation. ]
Are you sure? Maybe she's gone out for groceries. Or it's never too early for drinking at the bar. Maybe our little newbie vampire's trying out the array of blood-cocktail thingies at the shack.
[ Because sure -- today is the day for bad news because yesterday was the day for partying (and he so did not want to ruin the dance for them last night), but Jenna can't be gone. Not Jenna.
Elena had buried her aunt back home. That's done and done. She'd gone through that whole grieving process. Losing Jenna again right now seems like too much of a cruel joke. If he wasn't visibly upset before he's now visibly pissed. ]
