[Of the people Rebekah knows Hayley is probably the one person she can talk openly to about her personal life without worrying about judgement or annoyance. Which is why when she thinks about wanting to talk to someone about things being a little more official with Stefan there's only one person she really wants to talk to.]

are you busy?

[consequence]

not at the moment. what's up?

[easily]

nothing huge -- would you like to come over for some drinks? I could use the company

[consequence]

sure. give me a few minutes and i'll be over.

[easily]

I'll see you in a few then.

[consequence]

[Hayley puts on her shoes and moves to head toward Rebekah's place. She doesn't take too long to get there and when she arrives, she just walks into her room.]

[easily]

[Rebekah smiles as her friend makes her way into the room. She's already poured them both a glass of alcohol and she hands one over to Hayley right away.]

It's good to see you.

[consequence]

[Hayley greets her with a smile and takes that drink to start.]

You know, you're always welcome to invite me over whenever you like.

[easily]

Right. I'll be sure to remember that. [she smiles a little. let's be real, Rebekah is a little out of practice when it comes to keeping up friendships, it's a work in progress.]

How have you been doing?

[consequence]

[Hayley shrugs, shaking her head briefly.]

It's still an adjustment. Every time I think I have it handled, something trips me up and I'm stuck in my own thoughts and feelings for what feels like hours.

[easily]

You know, you're free to come over whenever you want -- you don't have to wait for an invite. [There's a pause as she considers it:]

Though it might be a good idea to message me and wait for me to respond first.

[consequence]

[Hayley smirks.] Yeah, because you might be occupied? [She remembers what happened last time she just dropped by. It's not that it had been a bad thing, but it's not something she figures needs to be repeated anytime soon.]

[easily]

[Rebekah smirks a little in return.] Exactly. That tends to be something that happens a lot. [And while it had been fun bringing Hayley into things -- it's probably not something they should make a habit out of.]

But outside of that -- if you're having trouble, you can always come to me. Us girls have to stick together.

[consequence]

[Hayley smiles.]

I know, I just -- I'm not very good at asking for help.

[easily]

Fair enough -- but the offer is there all the same.

[consequence]

I appreciate it, Rebekah.

[Her head tilts, watching her.] So what have you been up to? How are things with Stefan?

[easily]

Things have been good. [She ducks her head a little, as if trying to hide a shy little smile.]

Really good, actually. It's more than just a situation of convenience now. Monogamy of course is out of the question here but what we have now -- it feels much more solid.

[Perhaps because they finally stopped pretending they didn't feel something for one another.]

[consequence]

[Hayley smiles at that admission.]

It's about time -- and I definitely can understand the difficulty of actual commitment here.

[easily]

It's nice to hear someone say that -- no one else seems to be particular pleased about our continued relationship with one another. [Klaus, Caroline, Damon --

Just about everyone has an opinion. ]

How has that been working out for you and Elijah?

[consequence]

Well, I think you're capable of choosing people that make you happy all on your own -- without the guidance or opinions of family.

[That's what she has to say about that.]

And it's good... we understand the complications, so we have our own expectations and so far it seems to work.

[easily]

It's nice to see someone thinks that. [Granted, It's Stefan's friends and family that have been more of a pain about it than Klaus -- Elijah seems to be happy as long as she's happy.]

I'm glad. It's...complicated keeping things up here, sometimes. But not impossible.

[consequence]

I would think that the years you've had to practice how to manage complicated that it would make it easier.

[easily]

To be fair, most of my relationships didn't get a chance to get complicated. [Thanks, Klaus.]

[consequence]

Well, you've got plenty of time now. You can have all sorts of complications.

[easily]

Yes. [Her tone is very dry. There's one very blonde complication she's hoping to avoid, though she doesn't mention that.]

It does seem like this place is more than willing to throw them our way.
