day 225 | xiii ❧ potluck mingle!

[ this is her first time doing one of these without gran, and something she thought was going to be difficult for those very reasons is actually rather therapeutic, heartwarming -- a glance back at her roots, back when she was just adele stackhouse's weird granddaughter and not that fae who mingles with vampires. sookie contributes a few dishes from her gran's old recipes, along with something lafayette taught her to make. she's got all the tables in this part of trois park covered with checkered table clothes of varying colors, lots of plastic silverware, paper plates, cups, and napkins at the ready, and a stack of picnic blankets folded up on one of the benches for those who wish to sit on the grass instead of at a table. sookie even brought a long a mesh bag full of sports equipment -- or rather, a couple frisbees, a football, soccer ball, basketball, and even some hacky sacks. (she's not the sports type, but jason would always be off playing something with the other guys.)

hopefully she didn't leave anything out. hopefully this will help cheer everyone up some, both the new arrivals and those still dealing with the days they spent in that other prison. ]

[ elena arrives toting a deep pan of homemade macaroni and cheese and a small smile. she eats some, mingles too - this is all kind of familiar to her, considering all of those mystic falls events she makes a point to attend, as one of the town's founding families. ]

[ matt approaches elena some time after speaking with caroline. he's got his hands shoved in his pockets, head down, and doesn't look all that thrilled about being here. maybe coming was a bad idea... ]

Hey.

[ elena's not 100% sure it was either, but sookie wanted to organize this for some togetherness. for everyone in the prison to... find some stability in a place where there is none. to look on the bright side - or at least at your other options.

it's something elena believes in too.

she spots matt while he's approaching, sucks in a breath and straightens. she wants to talk to him, see him, wants to know... (everything.) wants to know he's all right. it's been a day or so since she's been with him in person, and now after their talk about caroline and secrets yesterday...

what is all comes down to, really, is that she cares about him. (and he's keeping something from her.)
] Hey. How are you doing?

I'm doing about as good as anyone who just got here can be. [ it's an honest answer while being evasive all at the same time. he doesn't enjoy having to deploy these sort of shady tactics, but the only other option that leaves him with is one he's not willing to accept. ] Shoulder hurts, but... I'll live.

[ that's a piece of true honesty, because the damn thing does hurt. thanks, kol. ]

[ she knows honest and evasive well. she also knows matt well, and this place well. she gets that much, at least. the hard adjustment. her lips form a straight, worried line.

but she blinks at the mention of his shoulder, her eyes both curious and concerned as they drop, look over his chest. she reaches out, places a hand on his arm. evasive or not, keeping so much to himself or not, that feels natural.
] Matt, did something happen?

[ being social was never really an effort for elena either. not until her parents died. after that it was all forced smiles and getting out of bed until it wasn't hard anymore. with everything that's happened lately in her life, sometimes it still can be hard.

but she's good at it; good at being fine, and the truth is today she actually almost feels it.

she smiles some and warmly at the self-deprecation; she can understand it. this place is... an adjustment.
] It's nice to meet you too. [ she looks at the food spread out - ] Did you bring anything?

[ Damon's sitting on the grass, enjoying the artificial rays of sunshine. He spots Elena, eating and mingling, and gives her a little wave when he catches her eye. Feel free to bring some food over to him. (Maybe a muffin or two?) ]

[ she's not surprised to see damon here - not that she was expecting him. but she pauses, breathes in when she spots him amidst the small throng of people, and tilts her head with a hint of a smile. because he's here, and of course he would be here, lounging carelessly.

she does come over, but she only brings her one heaping plate of food.

[ He's almost about to pretend to be disappointed when she doesn't bring him that chocolate muffin when he sees the two forks on her plate. The smirk on his face turns into a somewhat suppressed grin. It's the silliest thing. Two forks and she's got him feeling all pleased. What even. ]

Well, I like the grass. Other seating options are always available. [ He points to his lap. ]

[ one fork of which she offers him, leaning forward, as she settles the plate between them. her expression is very nonchalant about it. smile, what smile. she's not pleased seeing his suppressed grin at all.

and that's not her eyes flicking down into his lap at his verbal and not-so-verbal suggestion at all.
] Good to know. [ she watches him, watches his reaction, steady and calm and collected. which is how she knows exactly the right moment to maneuver herself around into his lap - because she wants to and she can. ]

[Rebekah hasn't talked to Elena face to face in a while -- certainly not since she woke up with a mess of new memories (no small amount involving Elena herself -- including the emotionless version). She makes her way to where the other girl is piling up a plate and grabs one of her own to fill up.]

What did you bring? [that's a safe conversation starter, right?]

[ the safest. she hasn't seen rebekah since matt showed up; it's something elena is well aware of seeing her now. despite their talk and because of it, because of everything that's been said from matt now too...

well, surprisingly enough, elena finds her gaze pausing over rebekah's blasé expression for a split moment. (if matt's keeping things from her, odds are so is rebekah - the difference is she knows why matt would.

and for some reason she doesn't consider rebekah has any particularly vicious motive, even though she realizes she should.)

her eyes flicker back to the plates in front of them.

(mostly she wonders if she might have something of a chance talking to rebekah about it instead of matt. and if she truly wants that.)
] Macaroni and cheese. [ and transparency. unlike some people. ]

[Rebekah's mostly kept to herself after waking up with new memories and Matt's arrival happening on the same day. (whether that makes anything easier or harder she has no idea, it is what it is)

While she's well aware that Matt's interactions with her has been a point of tension with his friends other than the time she threatened Stefan (to be fair, he threatened Matt first) about it she's kept out of it. It isn't her drama to deal with, that's what she tells herself anyways.

If any of them were actually her friends it might be Elena except they aren't friends. Still, the new memory of Kol's death is fresh and if she can save Elena that pain well -- no one needs to know they lose family before it happens (it isn't kindness, it's just what she'd want for herself).

I brought a pie. One of the ones Rogue made. [Cooking isn't really something Rebekah's done a lot of herself.]

You didn't tell me Jeremy was a hunter. [ it's said conversationally, evenly. elena spoons some food onto her plate. truthfully the topic of food isn't exactly one she wanted to discuss, despite how intent she seems to be with piling her plate.

(rebekah's right; they aren't friends. but maybe on some level elena truly does consider rebekah an ally. as more than a source of wavering and conditional support, but someone she can count on - at least for certain things.

she counts on rebekah to be straight with her, or maybe she just wants to. honest in the way rebekah can be honest with her. maybe that's why she just doesn't know how to understand rebekah's motivations here, but she wants to know.)

Ice cream's a good one, but sometimes a girl just needs something cheesy and stretchy.

Quite well. Better than I could have hoped for.
