wholeworldoutthere: (not laughing anymore)

Home. Another ironic choice of word, and Klaus just looks at his jacket, then up at her. He half expected her to storm off, but not for the reason she just explained, and he is not taking his jacket back.

"Priorities aren't what somebody says, Caroline," he just tells her, because he could argue about this coming from different angles, but this one matters most. All of the humour has gone from his face and his tone, and he's as serious as he ever gets; merciless, even, in his honesty. "They're what somebody does, and they're the reasons why. I have to save Elena, over and over again, because I need her. But I save you because I want to."

Now he takes his jacket back, and throws it on a nearby chair without looking away from Caroline. She'll go if she wants to, and he won't hold her back; he has to believe she'd find her way back to him eventually.
