I thought you should know, the last thing Damon remembers is the beginnings of your sun and moon ritual. I don't know how best to smooth that over, so I haven't told him you're here in the manor.
( He doesn't know how. He doesn't know how to 'be from the future.' He's screwing up royally. )
Katherine is from after the homecoming party at Tyler's, and she believes I am, too. I did warn her that you were here to keep the two of you away from one another. I think I can keep her at bay. ...I have enough mixed feelings about her, and don't want Damon after you or her.
I thought you should know, because we're all sharing this mansion now.
( what a wealth of information stefan shares with him.
he could begin with a "and why didn't you deign tell me sooner?" but perhaps he'll keep that line of questioning to himself for now. the answer, or answers, are quite obvious, anyhow. bros before hoes amiright
his parted lips close and he sighs heavily, his frustration and impatience spiking at the further "by the way" regarding katerina, that centuries-old nasty and unwelcome thorn in his side he was so overjoyed passed on to a fiery plane of existence, once upon a time.
klaus' jaw sets and he takes a moment to contemplate his response. )
And while you are juggling your impressive volley of lies, who precisely will be picking up the balls you drop?
( to an extent. everything will blow up in spectacular fashion in due time, as things do between salvatore's anywhere. )
Neither of them know what's to come, and it's best they don't, don't you think? The last thing we need is Damon... I don't even know. And we all know what Katherine does when she feels backed into a corner.
I'll talk to Damon. About you.
In his defense, your first trip to Mystic Falls was... violent. And I hated you just as much.
( then again, he traded his life for damon's and then took their act on the road. maybe don't remind him. )
( as far as klaus is concerned, it will blow back on him, considering both damon and katherine have one common enemy and about the same amount of brain cells between them. neither will hesitate to target him, regardless of their current circumstances and no matter what stefan may do or say. )
The last thing I care about is protecting either of their sensibilities. ( a far cry from how he feels about his old friend. )
Yet I'm sure Damon, after a brotherly heart-to-heart, will find that infinite amount of forethought and foresight he's known for when it comes to those he loves.
Just as I'm sure Katerina will find the same where it applies to herself and her own interests.
Tell them whatever you like, it will not change their reactions.
As far as Katherine's concerned, you put that grudge to bed this year. Maybe she'd believe it. The last thing any of us needs is petty grievances and targeting in a house like this.
( he doubts she will, but stefan's suggestion is not without merit. the last thing he desires is fighting a war on two—or three—fronts. as it is, he'll need to prepare for whatever attacks or threats they may levy against him.
and this—whatever friendship lives between he and stefan—does matter to him. he's willing enough to try to preserve it. )
I won't kill him. ( the "when you fail" is unspoken. )

My advice, keep an eye on the network. It all reads crazy, but there are things to learn.
