[ caroline remembers damon calling her hysterical, katherine, stefan, matt, tyler... damon stands out the most but it was never an uncommon occurrence in her life. she doesn't have time to dwell on it because every time she's reminded of saxsice's death it stops the breath in her lungs like katherine has the pillow held over her face all over again, the press of her fingers bruising through the thin, plasticky hospital pillow, the scratchy poly-blend pillowcase choking her, tearing under her nails.
it takes her some time to get past the squirming discomfort of memory, she hates the saxsice suffered the same fate, response delayed but turned bright and chipper. ]
If you need help I take really good notes! I can hear pretty much every conversation people are having in the room I'm in so I took a lot of notes while people were screaming at each other!
( imagining having to filter in every conversation in that room is its own nightmare scenario, for all that alina's response is good-humored. glazing over the frustration, the exhaustion, the guilt for having ever thought for a single moment caroline, in her helpfulness, might be grease the wheels of freeing alia from suspicion.
a sigh billows out of her, emptying her lungs. )
I'd like that. I would feel more helpful looking them over than sitting in bed. I'm not in much of a state to do a lot of the other work that needs to be done. But I'm not going to do nothing just because some prick thinks I must be too delicate.
[ caroline almost suggests healing her but if alina died in the game... she could never bear turning someone against their will. it is too dangerous to offer and caroline is too selfish. ]

Do you maybe want to hit something first?
no subject
( it's not advisable, in her state. it's also not advisable to vibrate around in anger like a small, feral dog. so: )
Are you going to draw a face on it first?
