so what you are saying is, they should be buds during the summers she came to visit. she lived there until she was 8, then moved to boston, where she spent the school years and came back to nola every summer and stayed from 18-25ish. she wasn't a problem kid, but she and hypothermal definitely got into things, and elena was often along for the ride even if she wasn't doing the trouble making. i think it would depend on what his criminal behavior was tbh. ooo and they sort of work with each other, she probably sends him things and is like 'i know a guy at the state crime lab'
