with everything that's gone on lately, i had a question.

if given the choice, how many people would stay here and how many people would leave? i get that it's a pretty personal question and don't feel like you've gotta answer. i'm just curious considering the way the place has changed lately and the people that have been lost.

could you live your life here? or would you leave and take your chances?

that's what happens when you get a job...

[ surprise ]

[gradual]

would being a bartender allow me to get an apartment of my own?

[gasping]

probably? eventually, yeah. you might have to work more than a couple days at a time.

[ she can't imagine kol has ever held down a job for very long. or ever. ]

it's such a normal thing to do, isn't it? bartending. a bit of normalcy and i suppose it'll be fun. but back to the subject of my breakfast. what's wrong with making an extra bit of toast or eggs or pancakes? ( also, blood bags. he'd like some of that as well. )

[gasping]

i'm not making you breakfast, kol.

[ she's dug her heels in! he called her an escort! it's too late!!! ]

i helped in the safehouse because that's what you're supposed to do. you're supposed to help out.
i make breakfast now for people because i want to. i don't want to make you breakfast.

[gradual]

but why? ( as if he can't possibly understand why someone wouldn't want to make him breakfast. is it because he's not offering sex? his dick is in mourning. )

[gasping]

[ to be fair, it's like 80% because she's not sleeping with him and 20% because she doesn't want to. ]

because i'm not your mom or your girlfriend or your personal chef?
make your own food. it's not like it's hard.

[gradual]

so when you were cooking breakfast before, it wasn't out of the goodness of your own heart, but it was in the interest of your sexual organs?

[gasping]

no!

[ oh my god ]

i was trying to be helpful, i already told you that!

[gradual]

but for some reason you can't be helpful now. i see.

[gasping]

being helpful to everyone in the safehouse as an exchange for free rent is not the same thing as making you breakfast just because you want it.

[gradual]

busy now. having pizza with your boyfriend.

[gasping]

whatever, weirdo

[ kol's ears are probably burning because now hope and caroline are just going to spend the rest of their night shit-talking him.
