╬ first bite

[ Like his brother, Stefan can read. But unlike his brother he does not take any of this at face value. He is not happy. In fact, he sounds downright testy. ]

The name Paradisa is Greek in origin. It means garden or orchard. It’s fitting, ending up here. Oh, and Katherine, if this is your elaborate way of influencing my mind, you’re going to be sorely disappointed. Elena and I may not be together but I will never love you again. You will never understand mine or anybody’s idea of paradise. You only serve yourself and if Damon didn’t entomb you I will find you and do it myself.

This isn’t funny, Katherine!

If in fact, this is not a fabrication of my mind and I just yelled everything to complete strangers as it says I would’ve, I apologize. And if I am talking to myself…

Let me guess. He has no sense of comedic timing. Wet mop. Stick up his - you get the idea.

[succubitch]

Yes. He's also called you a whiner, pathetic, a sad excuse for a vampire that lives off bunnies. Need I go on?

This woman I'm speaking to because I don't know her name

[ Damn it, Damon. ]

I'd appreciate it if you'd keep quiet about that.

Stefan

[succubitch]

Fair enough.

I'm Lilah, by the way.

[ Backpeddling. ]

Is he sharing this information with everyone?

Stefan

[succubitch]

I don't exactly keep track of what he tells other people.

Lilah

[historyrepeater.livejournal.com]

How do you know?

Stefan

[succubitch]

He told me.

Lilah

[historyrepeater.livejournal.com]

And who are you? Are you too close?

Stefan

[succubitch]

I suppose you could call us friends.

[ He...doesn't want to know. ] What do you do in the castle?

Stefan

[succubitch]

I don't have a particular job here, though back home I was a lawyer.

Lilah

[historyrepeater.livejournal.com]

A lawyer that would've promoted you had you kidnapped en masse. Great employers.

Stefan

[succubitch]

It was a joke. [Except...not really. Wolfram and Hart was a very special law firm.]

Lilah

[historyrepeater.livejournal.com]

Ruthless law firm.

Stefan

[succubitch]

Have you ever heard of a law firm that wasn't?

Lilah

[historyrepeater.livejournal.com]

I've heard of law firms with noble agendas. Yours sounds anything but.

Stefan

[succubitch]

I've never heard of a successful one with noble agendas.

Lilah

[historyrepeater.livejournal.com]

Have you searched them out?

Stefan

[succubitch]

I don't believe in looking for things that don't exist.

Lilah

[historyrepeater.livejournal.com]

You seem sure of that.

Stefan

[succubitch]

That's because I am.

Lilah

[historyrepeater.livejournal.com]

And a magic, living, breathing castle exists.

[ not very helpful. ]

Is there anything I should know? That would help?

Stefan

[succubitch]

Has anyone filled you in on losses yet?

Lilah

[historyrepeater.livejournal.com]

Lost objects?
