"Hey, it's okay. She's okay," Stefan reassured her, touching her shoulder in what was meant to be a comforting gesture. He knew Caroline was emotional right now and he didn't blame her for that, but it was automatic for him to try and comfort her.
Unfortunately, there wasn't much reassuring he could say to her questions about Lawrence. All he could do was nod and confirm what she was asking. "We can leave the city, we can go anywhere in the world, but we can't get home. We can't leave this reality, not unless the Seal decides to send us back." He could explain the rest as they walked, like how she'd been here before, but she obviously didn't remember. He didn't want to throw everything at her at once, though, so he was trying to just answer her questions for now.
"It's not all bad, Care," he offered. "There are people here we wouldn't have back home - like Bonnie, Jenna, Lexi." Lawrence wasn't perfect, but he thought having some of the loved ones he thought he'd never see again was worth it.
Chuckling softly, he nodded again when she mentioned a shower. "We'll go to the house first. You can get cleaned up and get in touch with Bonnie," he offered, pulling out his phone to send Damon a quick text.
