i haven't seen rats like that since the trenches. and those crocodile things-- what are they called? manticores? anyone know where they come from?

i'd guess a flood in the sewer scenario, but i can't say i know space ships.

[ pretty typical on a ship made of theories and very little facts. ]

You heard what I said.

[unparental]

I did, yes. I was giving you a chance to backtrack on it.

A human sympathizer? That's like a farmer keeping a pet pig, only to eat it later.

[ okay ... not... really. ]

My fiance is human, thank you very much.

Anyone ever tell you that's a bad idea?

I think the word they used was 'congratulations'.

'Congratulations,' you haven't eaten your fiance yet.

I'm not going to eat Ric-- I actually can't. We made sure of it.

[ vervain, and it was for klaus-- but details. ]

Either he became a werewolf, or you killed him already. Or you have one pathetic sex life.

Have you ever slept with a human as a vampire?

I did say fiance, didn't I? Of course I have.

[ lower the anchor, we're approach tmi. ]

I'm going to guess that you're young enough to assume that you're human enough not to lose control. Except one moment you'll be having sex, when you suddenly catch onto the beat of his pulse, the blood rushing in his veins. And you won't know what's happened until you wake up with your teeth in his neck, and your fiance dead in your bed.

[ a beat. ]

Even the most human of us kill. That's what being a predator means.

Well, I don't. There's your theory shot.

[ but considering exactly how amazing it felt to bite people, natural-- like the bloodbags were the sop to her conscience, and this is how she was meant to be-- she sounds rattled. ]

Before I became a vampire, I could never kill a man. I went off to war, and never killed a man because I believed I wasn't capable.

[ because being the confident means that jenna really doesn't know what she's capable of. ]

Who knows how much blood I've spilled since then.

It can be controlled. We're not monsters unless we let ourselves be.

[ she has to believe that, if only to draw the thickest line in the world between herself and klaus. ]

I'm nothing like h-- [ him. ] like that.

You're like a child who thinks she understands the world.

Aidan would've said the same thing. He wanted to believe he could live without killing.

[ And you know exactly what happened. ]

voice » auggie locked » 100%

[unparental]

I'm not Aidan. I liked him, but I'm not him.

[ but she does remember. ]

voice » auggie locked » 100%

[prodigalbrat]

You think you can be better.

[ Because Henry knows that Aidan tried damn hard. ]

All I'm saying is that you shouldn't get too complacent.

voice » auggie locked » 100%

[unparental]

I didn't say that.

[ but it was implied nonetheless. ]

Believe me, I won't.

: voice » auggie locked » 100% YOU DIDN'T SEE THAT

[prodigalbrat]

Good luck.

[ a beat. ]

And I mean it.

voice » auggie locked » 100% SAW WHAT? I SAW NOTHING

[unparental]

...thank you.

[ her own pause. ]

I mean, too.
