[ 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. ]

She's been through a lot. More than we -- any of us -- have really thought about taking into account before. [ rebekah flipping out over alexander's ghost quite honestly scared him, because all of a sudden this girl who could snap him in half with her pinky if she wanted to was wilting at the mere sight of a man who's been dead since the 12th century. he didn't get the full story out of her, just that they were once a thing, and that the possibility of marriage was on the table, but it was clearly a traumatic experience for her. and the guy was a vampire hunter on top of it all. her reaction had been so alarming to the point that he hung back, stuck around -- longer than he should've, given how he ended up standing atop a bomb once alexander realized he could be used to screw with rebekah some more. it was only when his life was put in danger was rebekah able to collect herself and pull that mask back on.

honestly, he's been wondering just how much is that mask and how much is the girl beneath it. he's likely seen more of the latter than anyone has in a long, long time. ]

This is how you feel about Damon, isn't it? [ a bold question, one he likely wouldn't ask if he weren't suddenly able to see things from her point of view, to understand with a clarity he's not sure he wants what it's like to have feelings for someone you shouldn't. someone who's tried to kill you, who has killed other people and put you in danger countless times. ] Knowing you shouldn't, but having these feelings anyway. And not wanting to give them up, even if you know you should just bury it and move on with your life.

[ like closing the door when rebekah started to walk away. things could've ended at a vampire free summer and an assurance that they'd never work out. but something compelled him to keep that door open and take her up on that offer to get away and it wasn't just knowing that he needed to stop hiding in mystic falls and actually start living his life. ]

[ elena can believe that, that rebekah's been through more than they ever took into account. she knows some of the things rebekah's been through - her youngest brother's death, her mother's death, being daggered and undaggered for centuries, chased by her father.

(they had to take it all into account. she had to care to be able to stab her in the back.

it's only been recently it's been to care for her as an ally, if not a friend.)

elena's thoughts of rebekah, of matt feeling so about her, are jarred by the mention of damon. her eyes lift to him. it is a bold question and not one she expected. her lips part. she's never been so frank with matt about her feelings for damon, not that she knows or remembers or even suspects. (and he doesn't know about them now. is she so transparent or does he know something she doesn't remember?

she guesses any of her transparency doesn't matter, not anymore.)

he's right. that's exactly how she feels.

it takes her a moment. she presses her lips together. ] Yes. [ the word is said with conviction and honesty.

she blinks against the fake sun, the reflection of it against the water as she looks at matt. ] Matt, did... something happen between me and Damon?

[ for the first time, she considers if it did. she hadn't considered much it would or might purposefully, despite how strongly she's felt here. because she's felt so strongly.

her breath catches slightly in her throat; she realizes she both dreads and wants the answer 'yes.' ]

	Then you get it. [ he'll leave it at that for now. as for damon, all he can bring himself to say is a vague ] It was his blood, Elena. [ that tells her everything, yet nothing at all. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
