[ caroline can't believe that. there will always be a fight for someone like him. he's the type who'd never have peace until he died. and the problem was, he can't die. not really.
she's not sure how they got here, to this conversation. but she always seems to be questioning his convictions, pushing him towards something better in hopes of justifying the way she feels towards him.]
You've never liked to make things easy, have you? [ her arms cross over her chest as she gives him a tiny smile.] I guess I should probably go.
[ he doesn't. nothing's ever easy. she knows him, it's true; there will always be a fight. (because there are things worth fighting for, whether it's for his own comfort or otherwise.) he presses his lips together. difficulty, adversity; it's simply a fact of living. one she must be learning with all she's been through.
he stands, still reeling from the emotions she's evoked. ] This place is yours as much as mine. You're welcome here whenever you like.
[ she's learned more than most would in their lives and she's still got so much life to live which means more lessons, undoubtedly more hard lessons.
she nods at his words, her expression and tone actually grateful.] Thank you, Klaus. For this and for listening. [ she hesitates because this would be the time she'd hug or kiss someone she cared for but... she just offers him another tentative smile before she turns and starts to hike her way back towards the direction they came.]
