She knew Kol was right. They were all on borrowed time, never knowing when the Seal would decide to send them back to where they came from, never knowing when some demon might possess them or if Lucifer would end up winning the war. Not taking the chance and saying all she had to say was acting cowardly and if there was one thing Caroline Forbes steadfastly wasn’t, it was a coward. So she’d suck it up and tell all once everything else was sorted out. Maybe before, who knew with how conversations tended to go in Lawrence.
But her current focus needed to be on Stefan’s survival because while she had probably come back from death because of the Seal--or at least that’s how she vaguely understood it from a conversation she’d had with Lydia months back--Stefan’s survival lay squarely on the shoulders of the one who had put him in danger. From everything Kol had told her, Caroline knew Stefan dying would only cause more hurt, more chaos, more heartbreak and that was really something no one in the Mikaelson family needed more in their lives.
“He’s not here then?” She finally asked. “Klaus, I mean.” Because if he wasn’t at home she had an idea of where he might have gone. It was a longshot but if Kol didn’t know where his brother was currently, then it couldn’t hurt to trust her gut.
