"You could say that. He was duking it out with someone. Over a girl, no less." Over her, but Anna doesn't really need to say that, does she? "Like I said: Damon being Damon. Just like old times."

Except now it was Elena who was the center of his universe and not Katherine. That was for the best. When she saw Katherine, decades prior to her reappearing in Mystic Falls, the vampire cared not for the location of the brothers she turned. Anna had even brought them up at one point, mentioned how they were likely still out there, and she hadn't batted so much as an eyelash at the thought of it — even if she supposedly still cared a bright torch for Stefan.

Or did. Her tenses are little off since coming here.

Elena tenses visibly at Anna's answer. No, Anna doesn't really need to say it.

It was more complicated than that, of course. It wasn't strictly over her and she knows that. Damon's anger came at the fact he chose to go with Elena when the end of the world came, and the rifts decided to split them up. The world he ended up in was cruel, and she wouldn't wish it on anyone, not even Damon. It doesn't excuse his actions, and Elena will always hold him accountable for them, but she grows tense at the reminder all the same.

She wants to ask if that's how they fought over Katherine, but does she really want to know? Does she really want to admit she's wondered?

"It's not going to happen again," she says. Elena is going to make sure of that.

"It will, whether you want it to or not," Anna says. "I'm not saying that as a way of doubting the weight you're able to throw around with him, but he's Damon. It's who he is. He's... he's passionate — foolishly so. He gets tangled up in things and isn't exactly the best at separating what he wants to do from what he should do. You can't change that, even if you wanted to."

The vampire shrugs. "Damon is Damon."
