Her mouth parts open in shock and then she closes it, shaking her head almost imperceptibly. There are many things she could say but there's also so many thoughts swirling around her head. Josef was working with Damon to bring down a potential threat, and now he's dead.
She's immediately on alert for that reason alone.
It's terrible. It's terrible and she feels for this person that she barely knew, understanding how difficult it is for Damon to care for people at all, much less work with them as allies. It's a sign of trust, and Damon doesn't trust people. Then again, Elena also knows what Damon is capable of when he's hurt, and the warning signs go off in her head.
"Damon, I'm--"
And it's a good thing he cuts her off by telling her to get out of the way.
Damon wouldn't want an I'm sorry, but she is. She's so sorry that Josef is dead and it is instinct in her to reach out. Her compassion and her sense of self do not allow for anything else, even if with him it's always been difficult.
She doesn't get out of the way. At least, not to simply let him walk past.
"I'm going with you," she says instead, and she moves as if following since there's no way she's leaving him alone.
