You speak as if from personal experience. Elijah is usually the one that is best trained at keeping the monster at bay, but in the circumstances that led me here, I am more than willing to wait things out until he gets here. Though I can't say I'll wait forever.
I could use a drink. It's comforting to know that I can say 'thousand year old hybrid' and not have people run away screaming, then again usually I just rip out hearts and ask questions later.
