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.

[consequence]

[Hayley takes another sip of her drink then lifts a brow.]

Why do I have a feeling you're referencing something in particular?

[easily]

Something, someone. A little blonde someone who has made it very clear she thinks Stefan can do better than me and by better I'm pretty sure she means her.

[Yeah, Rebekah's a little pressed about that, Caroline.]

[consequence]

Mm. I see. Blonde and Stefan in the same sentence. I think that is a Caroline type of particular.

[easily]

You would be correct. She's made her thoughts on it very, very clear.

[consequence]

And does anyone actually care what Caroline thinks? I know she's some sort of super vampire of control and ... positivity, but is her opinion really that highly regarded?

[easily]

I imagine Stefan must. She is his best friend. [There's a small smirk that spreads across her lips.]

But even if he does value her opinion -- it didn't dissuade him from me.

[Which is something.]

[consequence]

Then we shouldn't be wasting our time with thoughts about Caroline and her numerous opinions.

[easily]

I agreed. We have much better things we could be talking about.

[consequence]

[So they opt to pick a topic and they go and talk about that, clearly drinking for most of the evening and discussing various things.]
