Maybe only if people want to dance? No real designated space, but make sure there's always good music going if a group of townie coeds wander in and drink too much. ( She completely sees where Stefan is coming from. ) That leaves it up to them.
Katherine's importing from - wherever anyone gets anything. I can do some research, put orders in. And see if the library is getting rid of anything else. If all else fails, I could try out the Blessings Basket, because that couldn't possibly bring with it any consequences...
No. She's working for herself. She has an Apothecary. I only know because someone was looking for her on the Fluid and I saw the sign. But, she has a shop's worth of product. It has to come from somewhere. Maybe you could ask?
From what I could see through the Fluid, it's nice. Her cat's there, too.
( Her cat really likes her. )
I think we could make this place something. Give people a port in the storm. Maybe - enlist someone to spell it? Or, to try? We've never tried something like that. Maybe this way, people wouldn't be attempting to perform surgery on themselves or - die. But, magic isn't reliable here either, though, so. It could be a pipe dream.
You know, it's not just about you helping me, or - making Damon proud. I want this to be half yours. We're helping each other. It's going to be ours. Is that okay?
Okay. And I'll help with whatever, too. When I'm not taking classes or studying with Vasily. - He's like Jo, but Russian and serious.( She makes a mock-serious face, bringing her voice an octive down. ) We've got this.

( he hasn't actually been to katherine's shop yet so...maybe he could. he shrugs. )
Yeah, I can talk to her. I don't think she hates me after everything.
no subject
no subject
( she won't hate him and neither does katherine. but it's still something he thinks should happen. )
But, I've talked to you both and I know you don't hate me. So, I'll talk to Katherine. This'll give me an excuse to see her shop anyway.

no subject
( but it was still something to consider. )
If you want my help, I'd like to help.
no subject
( She doesn't even have to consider it. She'd love his help, even. )
no subject
( there's really no reason for him to say no, is there? she needs help and he likes the idea and he's got time to provide her help so. )
I'll help you.

no subject
( give him a little time, elena, and he'll be better about this. everything's still pretty fresh. )
But I do want to help you. I can't sit inside my house all day and drink. I don't think you'd let me. But yeah, it's okay.

( Reaching into her bag, she pulls out a jingling set of keys and sets them down in front of Stefan. )
The silver one opens the back door, gold - the front. ( They'll get more as they need them, she figures. )
no subject
( his eyes flick down to the keys and, after a moment, he reaches down and picks them up. )
I'll come back later and check the place out more thoroughly.

It's fine. I can do some stuff around here on my own. And if I need help, I'll let you know.
