when life is a little bit off

[Sometimes, normal, boring life is scarier than the supernatural. Tyler could handle big, nasty vampires; he could handle his inner wolf; and he could even handle his best friend's poor life choices. (Jeremy never learnt his lesson. Ever.)

What Tyler couldn't handle was returning to Mystic Falls, sans Jeremy, to finalize paperwork. He was 22 now - technically, he should've been a college graduate. He should've had a degree, be it International Relations or Sociology or something that proved he had potential. Instead, he had wandered between cities with Jeremy, before settling upon Savannah, Georgia as a home base.

It wasn't a perfect life, but it had been a stable one, right up until he gets that call from his family's trustee. As the only living heir to the Lockwood estate, he had to sign some papers and finalize his options for his future. In person, no less.

Once the meeting concludes, Tyler finds himself wandering into the Grill again, partially in search of a familiar face but also partially to figure out just how much has changed since he'd last been in town. Maybe... maybe things've settled down a little. After all, it's not like the Mikaelsons care much for this town anymore.]

[Nothing ever truly changes in Mystic Falls, at least not when it comes to the supernatural. Caroline continues her education in the years after Tyler leaves, in the years after losing her best friend. But nothing much actually changes. People come, people go, but there's always some mess to clean up. There's always some trace of magic, some big bad supernatural being that wants to screw up every good thing they try and build for themselves.

But through it all, Caroline perseveres, because that's what she knows how to do. By day she's working on graduate studies, but there never fails to be something up. A new coven is the latest drama, but one that is, for the moment, being handled.

She hears through the grapevine that a certain someone is in town. It isn't hard to guess where he would be. So that night, dressed in a white dress and a clutch, she enters the grill and spots the familiar figure leaning on the bar. He looks much the same, a little older and definitely like his older brother. It's good to see him, she admits to herself.]


Long time, [Comes the voice behind him.]

[She has moved on with the times-- as much as she can. The teens don't bother her, mostly because she used to be them. It makes her feel good though, like life still goes on. So she doesn't pay them any mind, already pretty sure at least one is drunk by now. Her attention is on him. It's been awhile, and a familiar face feels pretty good.]

Had to hear it around town that you were in. [Care moves in for a hug. Despite everything they had been through a lot, and while neither one had really been in each other's life since the Klaus incident, that doesn't mean that she ever stopped caring about him.]

[She doesn't seem bummed that he didn't tell her, but it's also Tyler. It's not like there isn't some serious history there. She's sure he would have been content if she didn't search him out. But then that's Caroline for him. Seeing anyone else from high school is like a shock of nostalgia. It isn't that she doesn't love her life. She's done a lot for the town, working on her graduate studies now. Regardless of what has happened between them, he has been a big part of her life. They ran in similar circles until he left.

Caroline smiles back at him, straightening a little after their hug. It's written on her face how happy she is to see him.]


Nothing too bad, I hope. How long are you in for?

[The mention of Jeremy throws her off for half a moment, the thought of her best friend giving her pause. But Caroline's glad that at least her brother is being looked after.]

How is he? I bet he's doing great out there. [Less supernatural things to contend with-- Tyler aside. Still she wants to know that he's okay.] Is everything alright with the Manor? If I knew something was happening, I would have checked up on it.

[Of course she's a little worried now, and there's a reason why she hasn't been up to the Lockwood Estate in awhile. But his question about her diflects the worry for a moment. After all she does get to talk about herself.]

I'm good. Busy-- you know there's always something. But yeah, I'm getting my masters in theory now. It's great. Really great. You? [She isn't going to ask if he ever finished college, because that would be rude, but for all the hard work she had to do to get him at least thinking about college, she's hoping he has.]

Sorry, hiatused for a bit

That's good-- that's really good. [Caroline nods, genuinely glad things that are going well. For both of them. She wants to ask more, personal things, but she knows she needs to take this slowly. There are too many people missing in her life now, and she wants to reconnect in this moment. Even if he's only in for a week or so.]

I'm so glad things are going well-- Manor legality aside. If you need anything while you're here, don't hesitate, okay?

[Certainly nothing has changed with Mystic Falls, and him bringing that up has her exhaling a small laugh. It's very true that there's no shortage of something always happening. Currently there is another coven that they are keeping their eyes on, though nothing notable has happened. Yet.

There's always a yet.]
