elena gilbert (ota)
[ like any good newbie worth her salts, elena ... is pretty clueless about what conscienti meant by "old earth tradition." it could mean several things, and while elena is bracing herself for something, she isn't sure what. she'll pursue more solitary areas, but it doesn't mean she can't be found at what is fast becoming her usual hangouts: making line for coffee, perusing book sections at the library, and so on. you may notice she has a new buddy following her around. elena didn't pick him, for the record. he picked her. ]
