You really think I want to go shoe shopping with you that badly, huh?

( maybe. if only to keep an eye on her. )

I'd ruin your shoe shopping experience.

I know.

[ she looks at him pointedly. while he most certainly does let her go shoe shopping all on her lonesome most times, she knows that when he accompanies her, it's out of some anxiety born from a building collapsing around her. his company doesn't ruin her shoe-shopping experience, although his constant comments about the shoes she wants makes her want to stab him on occasion. ]

That's why I like to shop alone and not with inexperienced shoe shoppers.

Just as long as no buildings find their way on top of your head.

( because remember when that happened? stefan does. )

Besides, you have enough shoes.

[ katherine sighs and feigns annoyance even though his constant reminder of one of the scariest times of her most recent life is, well… charming. ]

When will you let that go? [ she looks at him expectantly. ] In the new year?

[prescind]

Oh, never.

( he was never, ever going to let that go. sorry to you, katherine. he smiles down at her. )

Because, in my place, you know you wouldn't let it go either.
