( What the hell, Caroline. He is perched very precariously on the side of a statue right now. )
Pardon my glibness, apparently. I assumed it was a fact, as all vampires save for several time-line related loopholes aren't able to procreate. I was not aware it to be a sore subject and I didn't intend to shame you, or Marcos.
What I will apologize for is not coming after you myself when you disappeared after brain surgery and after that mad doctor made you his experiment. Hope, too was recovering and it seemed most had it under control. You wish for me to keep my distance and then you lay into me because I didn't intervene or check in after the fact.
Katherine, bless her hateful, beleaguered heart didn't simply harass the Salvatores. She carefully moved pieces around her chessboard in order to gain favor. You were a part of her plan. You weren't a lark, or a joke. You weren't merely the 'blonde distraction.' You were a whole part of a long drawn-out plan.
As for my love and our friendship, I have deliberately kept my distance because when I'm from our relationship is one of a mutual respect and understanding. Maybe at one time you and I, any version of you and I, could have had something but I don't believe it was meant to be as I died shortly after we reconnected for the last time. You are wise and capable and you brought me back from a very precarious situation I had put myself in so forgive me for not thanking a younger you for all that you did. Forgive me for not treating you the same. For not being at your beck and call or, checking in as much as I could because yes, Caroline, I would like you to be happy. If happiness to you is finding a genetic loophole to have a baby with Marcos then why wouldn't I want you to achieve that, Caroline?
I said one thing, one thing Marcos took the wrong way. Do read the rest of our chat because it was quite nice up until he decided to take it a different way. Now, I will apologize if that will make you happy, but I can't apologize for not reading your mind. Yes, I know you rather well, but there are still parts of you that have grown here, in different directions and ways than the Caroline I know. Yes, that involves your boyfriend, whom I like and taking my daughter under your wing.
So. Caroline. I apologize for not being a better friend and for saying something that upset you. Now. Please let me concentrate so I don't fall off this Buddhist knot I'm hanging from.
[ she's nearly ready to respond, to actually elaborate on why his comment hurt her so much to hear about secondhand, to tell him just how much it hurt her feelings that the all-knowing and experienced klaus mikaelson didn't have anything to say about the monster on the loose, that she didn't even hear from him after she'd been cured...
but then he ends the message with let me concentrate, and she can't quite shake the feeling that a door's been slammed in her face. ]
do whatever you want, klaus. you always do.
[ and maybe that's petty, but she's eighteen and her feelings are hurt. these things happen. ]
