If she hadn't ended up on this strange island, Elena knew she wouldn't have been faced with a moment like this, or feelings that had suddenly grown more than she could have ever guessed they would. But she was also...happy. For the first time since she turned, she wasn't focused on her pain or being a vampire, she was just Elena Gilbert, out on a date. A date with one of the Original vampires, sure, but she also wasn't focused on that either because right now, Elijah was also just a man. She was sure they looked normal, walking through the park in the cool night air after they had had a rather amazing dinner together. She'd tried to dress up more than usual, but that was mostly because he was always so perfect in clothes. She wanted to match him and she was pretty sure she did in her elegant black dress with her accessories matching with highlights of subtle patterns and silver. It was all Elena Gilbert, just...more dressy than usual. It was probably the best dressed she'd ever been, outside of the Mikaelsons' ball.
She held her black damask clutch in front of her, squeezing it a bit tightly and swallowing as she looked up at her companion, giving him a soft and warm smile, eyes gleaming. She might not have been wearing a coat, but she wasn't more cold than she usually was when she hadn't been feeding on fresh blood, still, the slight breeze rustled her dress and she played with the soft curls of her hair, pulling the long strands over one shoulder. "It's funny because...this is the first time I've really left Mystic Falls...even if it was against my will," she told to Elijah, wanting to strike up more conversation as they strolled slowly, her heels clicking on the pavement. "But I was thinking about when you mentioned...going to Europe if we ever got out of here and...well, what's it like there? What's it like to explore the world? You must have been everywhere," Elena continued, relaxing and reaching out to take Elijah's arm, clinging closely to him.
