Who: Caroline and Kol
What: a needed conversation
When: today!
Where: out and about in Lawrence
Warnings:I doubt it!

After coming back from Sunnydale Caroline had allowed herself a few days of staying close to Klaus, of trying to forget the outside world for a bit and focusing on her and him and on the new apparent robot dinosaur obsession of the tiniest Mikaelson. But once Saturday hit she sped full throttle forward into her usual coping strategies. Moping about what happened wouldn’t help any, it wasn’t her style to do so either, and so she pushed to plan something festive, something that could let everyone come together and have some fun.

Planning had always helped her clear her head, helped her focus her attention as well and she had a feeling that a hundred years from now she’d still be using it as her go-to for everything ever. Being idle wasn’t in her vocabulary even when she was relaxing she was usually plotting out something in her head. Unless she was distracted and there were only a few people who could thoroughly distract her like that.

She was out ordering different items she wanted for the party when she spotted Kol. They’d gone from him being openly antagonistic to her to him calling her family and the two of them confiding in one another to she wasn’t even sure what they were now. It simply wasn’t the same as it had been though, she did know that. Not that she wasn’t allowed to have relationships with the others simply because Klaus had decided to cut off all ties but it was hard to know exactly where she stood in the middle of all of that. Especially after reading conversations she wished she’d never seen.

But hiding away wasn’t something she was about to do and she thought she and Kol were slowly working through all that had happened even if she still felt like some kind of wall had been put up between them and wasn’t yet fully broken down.

“If it isn’t my second favorite Mikaelson brother.”

Kol knew where she was coming from, about needing not to react so much when things were said, it was a problem for him as well, always had been really. But he also knew how hard it was to keep something so natural at bay. "Yeah, I know what you mean. I've always been really...reactive. It's really hard not to be, especially when it's things being said about people you care about." He was pretty explosive when it came to his family. Or Crowley and Anna.

"Maybe we should bring it up. Try to point out the good things he's done without being too obvious?" The idea was hardly flawless, but it was the best Kol had at this point. He was only barely beginning to really try to let go of his own preconceived conceptions of Nik based on past actions, so he couldn't completely hold it against anyone else doing the same thing. Even if it was stupid. Especially the ones that didn't have reasons to have anything against him. Those would be the comments that bothered him the most. and he felt it was the same (...)

for Caroline as well.

Much as he hated admitting it, he knew that time did actor into so many things. And this, it was probably one of them. Loki had been here for years, so naturally they were quicker to flock to his defense, right? "Maybe it's the fact that Nik doesn't regret anything he's done. or what he will do, because he accepts anything that he ever has done or ever will do is exactly what he needed to do at the time to get what he wanted."

"No, you're right," she had a point. He was even more helpless in this situation than he had been during the explosion at the complex and Nik had kept himself contained, hadn't outwardly lash out at anyone in Lawrence for Caroline's televised deaths. "he managed it. He dealt with it. He waited it out." But would other people see it that way? He wasn't sure there was anything they could do about that.
