And we -- I will do my best to make sure that doesn't happen. I don't like you, but death by Klaus is no way for anyone to go, not even you.

[ there's a bit of a pause, and when elena next speaks, the smile is evident in her tone. ]

You're welcome, Katherine. I hope you'll keep this in mind in the future.

[ elena doesn't really expect her to, but it would be nice if katherine would return the favor some day. that's not why she did it, though. she did it because it was the right thing to do. ]

Jenna might go back home next jump. [ home where she dies because katherine is a terrible person, but elena is doing her best to ignore that. ] And there are manticores out there. Damon might be getting attacked, he might die and I would have no way of knowing.

[ another pause, and then: ]

Thank you, though. For making the effort.
