[Elena is quiet a moment. It shouldn't mean much coming from Cassel. He never knew Elena before she became a vampire, before she turned her humanity off. Granted, Elena hadn't managed to bury or strip herself of who she used to be as well as she thought she had when her emotions were locked away tight until she could cope with it better, but still. Cassel could never really claim to know her.]
[She's not even really sure if he meant anything by it and maybe she was giving him too much credit. But that seems to be Cassel's raison d'être: keep them guessing.]
[And in the end, it's still nice to hear.]
Yeah, [she says with a small nod.] Yeah, I am.
[By some small miracle. She's changed and grown, but she's still Elena.]
[Elena brushes some of her hair back behind her ear before she points to one of Cassel's little statues.]
