"No one is really as pure as driven snow, Damon. Not unless they're children. We all have secrets as adults, even if they're just for something in our heads," he said, following Damon's move with another one of his own, pushing a piece out past the front line. Stefan knew all about what Damon was talking about. There were things in his life he didn't want the people outside of his circle of friends to know about. They might not have been as...intense as the things Damon had done, but you never knew what would change someone's perception of you.
"Your entire life doesn't have to be drunken one-night-stands and...threesomes, brother. And there are so many definitions of 'settling down' out there. What it is for me, might not be the same for you." He sighed and sipped at the alcohol in his glass. "You'd just have to see what the future holds for you and Elena after you past all this."
