So I should be offering you thanks now, for being so merciful? You could have bought time by talking to me. I met you on the roof. I thought Damon was dead, remember? I even apologised for that. I hadn't been planning anything other than to try to not let things escalate further than they already had. So spare me the bloody speeches.

I know you attacked Lilah on the cruise ship. It's obvious that you're not handling your blood-lust adequately. It's a slippery slope, Stefan. Let's hope you don't slip up.
