[It surprises her how well he takes it. There are no snide remarks, no comments about how it's a matter of time before it blows up in her face (like it always does, he often reminds her). He sounds... happy for her. Genuinely.
That's a new one. One she almost doesn't know what to do with. So instead she just focuses on the lame joke -- it's easier to respond to.]
Perhaps Stefan is better at not pissing me off than you ever were.
[lbr half the time you're asking for her to get angry at you klaus.]
Well, I doubt he keeps things interesting enough for that. [ says a brother to his sister what a weird
incestuous
moving on
because that's what klaus would call all the things he does that incite rebekah's wrath: interesting. ] Or perhaps I'm wrong, and your dramatics make up for it all.
[ because that's what klaus calls rebekah's response to how interesting he can be: dramatics.
it's all said in a teasing, ribbing tone. as far as he's concerned, his sincerity on the other matter need not be addressed. it is meaningful enough that it is said, and accepted. he does still believe stefan is fickle when it comes to anyone save elena, and it will fall apart. but perhaps in light of recent events it means less to him that she'd pursue a fruitless endeavor if allowing her a folly might grant her some happiness. and if her happiness and freedom might truly keep her with him, so be it. ]
And if he doesn't, I'm sure I'll find a way too -- dramatics or otherwise.
[Rebekah, you're talking to your brother. Stop that.
Still, it's nice to banter with Nik like this.. for the barbs to feel less sharp, more fond than anything else. She can't remember the last time it's felt this easy to talk to him.]
[ wow he doesn't want to infer anything from any of this. (he should probably find the idea of rebekah having sex more gross or you know gross at all. and not feel a little pressed and jealous about the relationship at all. but also probably less amused and fond of his little sister's wit and self-assurance.) ] I've no doubt you would, sister, considering the plethora of your hobbies: pouting, scheming, tantrums; [ he can go on ok ] but I believe this is where I tell you I need not hear anymore of your innuendos.

I think you have my hobbies mixed up with your own. [Bc your tantrums are as bad as hers, js js.]
You were the one who asked how things were.
[You brought this upon yourself.]
