[ He's not one to ask about personal feelings like that. It's a lot. He knows there's something there. Something she's not telling him. If she wants to tell him how she feels about Elijah than that's something she can do. He won't push her on it though. ]
They sound more like a wolf family than vampires. [ Not that he has much vampire experience beyond knowing her. But the connection that's so strong that you don't think anything can break it is familiar. ] I'm really sorry, Hayley.
[She smirks a little at that, because loyalty is loyalty and that's how a family should work. Except, most of the time it's not something they decide together and the forever part could mean small time-outs in a coffin. They're complicated.]
It's what I chose. Which, not many people get to pick their family, but after losing mine and searching for one for so long... I'm okay with what I have.
[ Well, to be fair Peter had tried to kill him and succeeded in killing his sister. So even wolf families aren't even completely normal. There's always one that just doesn't know how to behave himself. ]
I am too. [She takes a breath and moves over toward where he's cooking.]
Can I taste? [She's looking to ease off the topic. Having put all of it out there she feels better. She knows there's still pieces of it stuck. That they're not all out there, but it's enough for her now.]
[ He can appreciate her wanting to ease off this. He nods his head with a smile when she asks if she can taste. He gives her one. After that there's some dinner and things. ]
