Tom has been trained all his life to hate vampires. Even with me it took him a long time and only then because of shared experiances. This truce, while needed, is hardest I think, on those like him. Those who have known no other life. In that world it seemed he had a chance, do what is natural to him, believing I suspect that Elijah would return but he would have proven a point. As he has not, it is now a problem.
I wonder if this was two days ago would we be having this discussion.
