[ truth be told he was expecting something a little more vitriolic, a little more passionate. color him mildly disappointed that caroline's inevitable knowledge of damon's punishment didn't warrant a storming visit.
(it was about control and his lack of it. it was about testing the strength of the gods. it was about his anger and pride.
it was about her.) ]
You were in no position to doll out the most fitting punishment.
[ oh, there's passion in her anger with him. but a part of her, the darker part of her, wanted damon to suffer for doing that to her again, in a different way. but that makes other people suffer. and she's able to fight her own battles.]
[ he has no doubt what she's capable of, and her confident, hungry, and newfound assertion to as much goes on the list of what he finds stunning about her. ]
I think I do. [ he's seen her slaughter twelve witches: for bonnie. (for her loved ones, she's capable of leagues.) he remembers; he rolled up his sleeves and buried those bodies for her. ] You wanted him to suffer.
[ he doesn't need to see it to imagine it, to know it. her denial, if anything, is only a familiar rejection to him. ] Then how, Caroline? Pray tell, what suffering would have sated you?
[ her words sting and bother; his jaw clenches to weather that frustration. ] Then my apologies for overstepping my bounds. Perhaps next time you show up at my door I'll be less graceless with your lack of confidence.
You came to me, Caroline. You sought the sanctuary and the comfort I offered. Why wouldn't you, considering your shame over doing something so terrible? Is it truly so abhorrent that when Damon baited me with knowledge of you, after I witnessed your suffering, that I would want to give him what he deserved?
[ he is pretty tired of caroline being stubborn and forceful and justified, ftr. (not that he regrets his actions. they were necessary for more reasons than her.) he exhales after reading the message. ] Next time you deserve vengeance I'll defer to you, as you wish.

You have no idea what I'm capable of.

I just wanted it all to be over.

He wanted to hurt you.
It wasn't my intention to cause you more pain.
