I sometimes believe it is impossible too. I do not wish for Henrik to become bitter and angry. We only just got him back.
Yes you have, and those days are over. We are all equally guilty in the ruin of the family, and the ill and wrong this family has done over the years. You, Me, Kol and Rebekah. We've all done stupid, terrible things. And yet? We've done good things as well. Shaped and changed history for the better. Yet we never talk about those days anymore, do we? Praise each other for influencing the greats to contribute to society, or contributing to it outright? What silly squabbling fools we all are.
There is no difference. You're correct in pointing out that it's the same as asking her, you or Kol to deal with Katherine for mine. Kol's point is valid and I will not sway him on conversing with his murderer. But Rebekah? Her anger is out of silly misguided fear that Stefan would want Elena over her. It's foolish and it needs to stop.
How do you suggest we go about reigning it in? You know her better than anyone. You know what her tantrum are like and you know she doesn't just easily stop, our sister. Any of us telling her or trying to get her to calm down may simply enrage her even more.
