I guess that depends on who all you're including in that group. [ Trusting is out of the question, but he could try to work together with Alaric so long as the Salvatores aren't involved in any way. ] Maybe they just need time to adjust. I don't think everyone was on board right away when Jenna first came out.

That probably has more to do with the fact that the thing looks worse than my grandmother's wrinkly old hands. People will probably be more inclined to come around with normal looking people.
