[ new achievement unlocked. somewhere jenna is fistpumping in there air and she has no idea why. ric isn't a master of reading body language, not really, but when your best friend is someone like damon, you learn to notice when things are off. it's a thing. it's a thing that makes him shake his head at that. ]

You ever made an omelet and had broken shells in it? It's not fun, and that's what doing that ends up being. You're breaking eggs no matter what, but when you're not giving people a chance, you just end up having a shell-y omelet. [ what was that analogy, ric? ] Sorry, it's Saltzman. Alaric, actually, but if you're calling me that Ric's better because of the pronunciation issues that arise.

I didn't catch yours, either.
