deercountry | ( CLOSED ) MY LONELINESS IS KILLING ME.

Make my own shadows?

( he sounds a little incredulous and then shakes his head. )

How am I meant to do that if I'm invisible, Katherine?

( please help him. )

Do you think the two are mutually exclusive?

[ being invisible doesn't mean that everything becomes impossible for him. if anything, she thinks it opens a lot more doors.

as for his question, she has no idea. all she can think of is traveller magic, of what she knows of that piece of her past that she's learned about on the side over the centuries. ]

Draw from what's around you. Think about it and make them.

I don't know but I'm invisible so I'm not exactly casting shadows.

( he looks around to see what she's talking about, what she means when she says 'draw from what's around him.' he frowns. )

What do you mean? I don't really...

( maybe it was a blood thing. maybe that's what he was doing right now. )

[ he's so lucky he's invisible. she'd throw a pillow at him for being so unsure. scooping some more ice cream and spoke with her mouth full. now that she had an inkling of how this could be solved, she felt and acted more confident than before. ]

How do you manipulate dreams, Stefan?

How are you not drunk right now?

( because she seems to have sobered up very quickly. )

You were all about just swinging from the rafter earlier.

Who's to say I'm not still drunk?

[ she cocks her brow at him, her smile slowly spreading wide. she's a little buzzed, but when she has a task at hand, she can sober up considerably to put her mind to work.

it's one of the impressive things about her, she thinks. ]

I'll swing from the rafters later. I want to make sure you're below so you can catch me, and I can't do that if I can't see you.

Well, you could still do it because even if you couldn't see me, I could see you.

( and he'd catch her. )

But, I think the question would be is if you trust me enough to drop from the rafters and trust me to catch you even though you can't see me.

[ she... isn't too sure about that answer. katherine trusts stefan more than she's let herself trust another person in a long time, but when it comes to not being able to see him and thus the little tells she looks for when someone's leading her astray... ]

That would depend. Are you too busy looking up my dress to notice I'm falling?

[ the answer to this is yes and no. it must be a hard life being stefan sometimes. ]

( he's glad she can't see him because it does sting just a bit that she doesn't trust him like that. he knows that her question is a stall tactic. )

No, I wouldn't be doing that.

( he keeps his composure though, voice level. )

I wouldn't be distracted.

What if there's a noise?

[ it's a completely plausible question, isn't it? if he's going to be invisible and she's falling, she wouldn't want him to be distracted by anything. ]

What if there is a journal thief in the house? You wouldn't leave me to go protect your journals?

You realize how ridiculous these questions are, don't you?

( not that he's surprised. )

You don't know where my journals are to protect.

[ she smiles; katherine's very aware of how ridiculous those questions are. a part of him is hoping that the ridiculousness will distract him from being invisible. ]

Isn't that more reason to tell me where they are? I can protect them. Lay down my life for them.

[ and read them. ]

Nice try but no.

( because then she'd know where they are and anything else would be forgotten because she'd be too busy reading them. )

Your concern for my journals over my own well being is adorable.

I want to make sure your legacy lives on, is all.

[ she smiles in his direction. although there's luca, it never hurts to have more to his legacy than a cute boy who she hopes will come and go. ]

Don't you love me for that?

I do love you for that.

( but — )

But you don't need my journals to make sure my legacy lives on. You make it sound like I'm not gonna be around.

Well, if I ever get to sit on your face again, I'm not sure you would survive that.

[ the pity to him being invisible is the fact that she can't see the blush. she can only hope he blushes. invisibility shouldn't take away his shyness.

katherine sighs dramatically. ] I'm so sad I'll never sit on that face again.

You'll never sit on my face and you'll never find my journals. It's sad all around, isn't it?

( he's not going to give into her that easily. )

I'm sure that'll keep you up at night because you know you'll never read them.

Hm.

[ katherine's going to reconsider whether or not she loves stefan. she looks in the direction she thinks he's in and narrows her eyes slightly. ]

You don't want me to sit on your face one last time?

I wonder if that would even work while I'm like this.

( could she feel that kind of touch if he they tried? )

You wouldn't know what I was about to do.

How do you know?

[ that's a big call for someone who's spending his first day invisible on the other side of the bedroom. considering that she had been able to hear him breathe, she has a feeling she'd be able to feel him eat her out. call it a very good hunch. ]

Have you had someone sit on your face while you were invisible?

No.

( because he's never actually been invisible. so, why would that be a thing he'd done? )

Have you ever sat on someone's face when they're invisible?

[ since he was open and honest: ]

No.

[ katherine doesn't appear embarrassed. she smiles in the direction his voice comes from. ]

But there's a first time for everything, even when you're over five hundred years old.

Are you actually thinking about trying this?

( why is he asking, of course she is. )

I don't even know if it would work.

You lie down and I sit on your face.

[ she shrugs. it's that simple. she wants it to be that simple. perhaps it's what brings him back to visibility... or maybe he'll be invisible forever. katherine has no intentions of becoming a nun if that's the case. ]

Don't you want to try? I think it'd be very hot.

You wouldn't be able to see me. I could do anything.

( not that he would but he could. )

Trust me that much, hm?
