Why did you fight with Hawk over Armand?

[holyposition]

After he killed that girl on the network, I was of the opinion he needed to be contained, and Hawk thought it would be better to ignore it.

[interpersonally]

Were you wrong?

[holyposition]

No. Anyone killing people needs to be stopped, even if it's mind control or brainwashing, or whatever magic torture this place throws at us.

[interpersonally]

For the record, I agree. But, didn't the other vampires take care of it?

[holyposition]

Yeah, they did. And I'm glad they found a peaceful solution. Hawk gets paranoid, he thought it would be pitchforks and torches.

[interpersonally]

I was just told Paul's body was drained, but by cuts, not by a vampire.

[holyposition]

By cuts? What do you mean?

[interpersonally]

His body was literally drained, blood drained, by small cuts. Not by a prolonged vampire bite.

[holyposition]

Like a butcher.

[interpersonally]

Or a surgeon. Or, anyone with medical training. Do you think the wolves could have used their commune-given talents?

[holyposition]

It's possible. They'd at least have access to the equipment.

[ It needs to be, or he will throw up. ]

[interpersonally]

There's a list of butchers that can be cross-referenced with diamond collars.

[holyposition]

They didn't see a diamond with Paul too, did they?

[interpersonally]

Not that I know of.

[holyposition]

I was out for a lot of last month, so I might be missing some. But the butchers I know are Sanji, Saber (probably did Jake), Jem (wolf last year, probably not a second time), Hawk, and Shauna.

I can tell you who Hawk would go for if he were a wolf, and it wouldn't be Paul.

[interpersonally]

And Dean, apparently, according to Yelena.

I was also out. Were you sleeping?

[holyposition]

Dean. I don't know him well. He called me a boy scout as an insult.

Yeah. My soul went back home for three years.

[interpersonally]

To some people that is an insult. I don't know him either.

I went back for five.

[holyposition]

I was an Eagle Scout.

Wow. You didn't remember anything either?

[interpersonally]

No, not about this place. I lived a lot more life.

It takes a lot to become an Eagle Scout.

[holyposition]

Yeah. Me too. I joined the Army.

I was devoted to it. I liked it. Learning, bettering myself with new skills.

[interpersonally]

I went on the run.

It takes discipline.

[holyposition]

From what?

I used to have a lot more.

[interpersonally]

An ancient vampire hunter. It was one of many developments.

I survive and return. I'm back in Mystic Falls now. Damon's the one missing. A siren has him.
