Day 238 | closed voice; | open action;
[ liz is one of the lucky few who didn't spill her guts to the class yesterday, but that doesn't mean she feels entirely comfortable with everything that's been going on. So, in an effort to help get herself back on some sort of a schedule, she's taken to patrolling the dome today. she probably should just keep to one little area, but habits are hard to break and she's slowly coming to see this prison as her new "town." that means the whole place needs to be protected and that's what she's doing.

so she can be found wandering just about anywhere in the dome except sector 6. ]

[ locked voice to the mystic falls crew ]

[ later on, she leaves a message for everyone from mystic falls, just to check up on them. ]

Everyone doing okay today?

[ she’s surprised at that admission, glancing up at him with cautious curiosity. this is just another example of how difficult it is for her to imagine vampires as anything other than vampires. she sometimes forgets they had other lives, human lives. but the important thing here is that she’s trying. ]

For better or worse, it is what it is, I guess. All I can be is proud of how she’s turned out. [ a sentiment she suspects he understands and shares. ]

	[ It's not something many people know. however, maybe it's important for people to know, for them to see vampires as 'human' despite their differences. Yes, that is the important thing. he nods in agreement.] And it's a privilege. My oldest surviving child was ten when my family was murdered by a vampire. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ it's something caroline has been working to show liz, to convince her of, and it's why she still believes in all of them, the humanity, the goodness in all of the vampires in her life. but that news is... she knows the horror of losing family, of knowing a child has died. she felt that when she discovered caroline was a vampire, but she can't imagine losing a child at ten years of age. ]

I'm sorry. That must have been difficult.

[ understatement of the century, but she understands the feeling of that loss. if he's worried that she's not treasuring caroline's existence, he doesn't need to. every day is a duality, a tug-of-war between liz's gratitude that she still has her daughter in any form and her guilt that she couldn't save caroline from dying and going through the horror of transitioning. ]

	It was a very long time ago and it was the catalyst that resulted in my turning. [ It's good that Liz realizes how fortunate she is. As for Eric's grief, it was a very, very long time ago and it is a pain that is so very distant.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I can see why.

[ maybe eric could learn to deal with that kind of grief for so long, but liz isn't sure she could. were she in his position, she doubts she could have made the choice to turn. mortal though she is, she prefers being human. maybe caroline and eric were meant for bigger things than being human, but liz is more than sure she wasn't.

she pauses, distracted in her thoughts before she realizes they've been walking and talking for a long time. ]

I should let you get back to work. You've probably got better things to do than listen to me.

	The bar is capable of dealing without me for a bit. It was...interesting talking to you, Liz. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Very enlightening, I'll say. I enjoyed it. [ she will, however, walk with him, conversation or not, until they reach the bar. she is carrying a bag for him, after all, and there's no reason to back out on that now. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
