Salvatore Boarding House

Downstairs:

Everyone was gathered in the basement at the boarding house. After Nyssa shot the wolf about to attack Damon they managed to drag the animal back and lock it up in one of the cells.

"What if it isn't Mason?" Elena asks

"Maybe it's not anyone, I mean it could just be a wolf, right?" Matt asks.

"Alright calm down newbie, just go wait in the corner while the adults talk," Damon tells him not pleased Donovan has been let in on the secret.

He had been freaking out but Caroline compelled him to be calm about her being a vampire. They were keeping a close eye on him not sure if she was going to have to compel the memory away entirely.

Just then Caroline came down carrying a bowl of popcorn, "Hey, did I miss it?"

"No still just a wolf, is that popcorn?" Nyssa asks.

"What? I felt like snacking," Caroline says,

"Matt could be right, maybe it was just a wolf," Stefan says before taking a handful of popcorn from Caroline.

"Wouldn't be too sure about that," Damon says as the wolf starts to transform back into Mason.

"Now what?" Elena asks.

The gang decided to take shifts watching him until he regained consciousness. The wound had been healing since they had removed the arrow and now that he was in human form again there was almost no mark at all left.

Damon took the first shift and Nyssa hung around not entirely trusting him alone with Mason.

"I know it's considered bad sportsmanship to kill someone when they can't fight back but it just seems like a wasted opportunity," he complains to her once they're alone.

"I know, but he could tell us a lot, I mean who knows what's real and what's a myth I mean you're not affected by garlic, who better to learn from than an actual werewolf," Nyssa says.

Damon had to admit she did have a point. Right now he wasn't a threat he was a resource.

"Thanks for healing Elena by the way,"

Damon smiles at her, "don't mention it,"

"What do you think of Matt?" Nyssa asks.

"I think he's the most annoyingly average human I've ever had the misfortune of meeting," Damon bluntly tells her.

"No, I mean do you think he can handle all this?"

"Why are you asking me something you already know the answer to?"

Nyssa looks away, "'cause if you disagreed with me then maybe I could convince myself to avoid having a really uncomfortable conversation with Caroline."

"If you want I'll have the conversation for you?"

"Really, you'd do that?" Nyssa asks surprised by Damon's offer

"Well no, but I'd happily kill the quarterback thus eliminating the need for said conversation," Damon explains with a smirk.

Nyssa shakes her head, "Can I trust you to behave while I'm gone?"

"Probably not," he tells her.

Nyssa smiles and leans into Damon kissing him before taking off to find Caroline.

After Nyssa is gone Damon turns back to Mason, "now if only I had a bowl of warm water."
