[ at another time, after this, he may introduce himself properly. (starting with an apology, since this is a horrible way to meet an individual.) they both have their secrets, alayne's are the ones it would be devistating to reveal while ric's force him to play games to protect those he cares about. (then again, the last secrets he kept are probably what made him lose jenna once. it's what allowed him to lose isobel before that. it's- a necessary evil.) ]

The oxygen garden. Not directly in it but nearby. [ alayne saying it like that, as if jenna is just lost and not a body forces him to close his eyes and breath as slow as he can. ]

Alayne, I- I'll go back to her. Directly next to her body. I'll- I'll carry her away from there. She won't be alone. I need you to promise me you won't come to her. [ if you're as broken up about this as you are, klaus will kill you in an instant and jenna wouldn't want that. ]
