Comments

The comment made her smile. "We like to have something for everyone," she explained with a nod, reaching over to straighten one of the yellowing texts that had tilted to the side.

She was quiet for a moment before glancing back at him, regret written in her expression. "I'm sorry I wasn't there for the family dinner the other night. I missed seeing you." She didn't at the time, actually, but now she does. This place is complicated, but she wasn't not going to question the affection she felt for him.

"Nah, it's no big deal. You were in an accident too, right? That's what Damon told me," Percy says. He's sympathetic because yeah, he'd definitely gone through the same thing only a week (at most) earlier, a little bit lost, a little bit confused, definitely unaware of the actual accident itself. He could only remember the barest things about his life, people's names and faces ... his memories of them ...

Anyway, his expression is one of understanding. He straightens a little.

"I'm glad you're okay."

Elena nodded at his question, wishing for a moment that he hadn't been in an 'accident' and wasn't experiencing all of this now -- but then she wouldn't know him, would she? That was how it worked, right? However they got here, it culminated in an 'accident' that they didn't quite remember. And if she didn't know him, she wouldn't have these memories that echoed a relationship she'd had with someone else, someone who... meant a great deal to her. Her younger brother, maybe?

"I'm glad you're okay, too," she said softly, echoing his words. There was little more than a heartbeat before she couldn't hold herself back anymore and she moved forward to wrap him up in a hug if he'd let her.
