Elena knows this, and it's why she doesn't appear convinced when he says it, gaze narrowing as she studies him. As if deciding whether or not she wants to push it. She decides she doesn't. It's not as if she will accept, the matter is resolved in her mind, and she has no idea he'll go to her brother instead.
In the end, when it comes to Jeremy's safety, there isn't a lot Elena can't be convinced about. There are lines she won't cross, but ultimately, it's a car, and she does know one is safer traveling with it than on foot with the kind of things that pop out on every random street one finds themselves in.
"We don't know if there will be a situation," Elena says, as she doesn't want to immediately jump to the worst conclusion. She relaxes her shoulders once he agrees they'll deal with it when the time comes, and for now, they can focus on figuring out the next step.
She is the doppelganger.
In Mystic Falls, that was what everyone seemed to be after.
Here in Chicago, while she's a key element for the ritual, she is not the only thing they'd be interested in. There are a wide variety of things they're after, and Elena would be just one more of those 'things.' She's been able to slip under the radar so far, as she has been careful as she said she would be, and she plans on continuing to do so.
The Society would be a threat regardless, but Elena wants to make sure it's not more of a threat, to her or to the people she cares about.
It's dangerous enough as it is.
"They're more like slaves. It's repulsive. I can't imagine anyone wanting to remain in that position. It'd be dangerous for them either way, but if one of them was already looking to double cross them..." They wouldn't even have to sway them over to their side. They'd know they'd have to work together with someone else if they were to achieve something like that.
Elena can't think of anything more important than their own freedom.
She glances upward at him with the smallest of smirks at his ...that's right, as she isn't surprised he'd connect the dots easily and fast enough. When they're not at each other's throats, they don't have trouble working together. "There may not be many, but there are, and we have to find them. It won't be easy, but... it's a start."
There's no way of knowing she's echoing his thoughts.
It's something to go on and Damon has more resources than he had before. It doesn't look as bleak as it once did, in this particular aspect. It's bleak in general, because she doesn't forget lives were murdered, and that's more important.
She would never lose sight of something like that.
