mordereDamon is with Elena. They're in a lounge in the Tower, and he has likely only come over to troll her like he do while she is busy with getting ready for college. He is leaning back in the chair by the fireplace, drinking something alcoholic and searching through the journal for anything important.
Damon has gone back a few entries, weeks, years, as far back as the journal can go, but there doesn't seem to be any indication of anything that he would actually want or need to know. It doesn't stop him from sarcastically reading some of them out loud which likely leads Elena to throwing things at him.
He does not expect to see a journal entry locked to him from a girl that he doesn't know when he flips back to the front page and freezes. His entire body posture changes from relaxed to tense, and he sits forward, staring. Damon reads it, takes it in once... and then twice and then one more time.
It can't be- It is not- Damon gets to his feet, throwing the journal down on the coffee table before he starts toward the door. Yeah, he is about to leave without saying something, because he knows. He knows she'll know and she'll make him stop and feel, and he doesn't want it.

Date: 2011-10-11 08:15 am (UTC)Or at least Damon would get bored. He doesn't do simple for a reason, for multiple reasons, but no, it never is simple. Damon looks as innocently as he can when she looks at him so suspiciously. Obviously, Damon completely fails at any innocent expression.
However, he does know that she will accept things for Jeremy's safety that she wouldn't otherwise.
"No, we don't know, but that is why I'm laying out options now as opposed to later," Damon says, and it is his way of showing her that they do have options if the situation occurs. There is quite a lot that they can do, and it's not going to be like in Mystic Falls.
They have fewer people that they would have to keep from harm's way, fewer people that could be used against Elena.
On the other hand, the Society is a lot bigger than Klaus so he isn't about to underestimate what they are going up against, but they do have options this time. Potentially. Damon is not going to let her lose anyone else, not like she did in Mystic Falls according to Jeremy.
And Damon can't... actually imagine what would happen to Elena if her brother did die. In a more permanent fashion this time. While his top concern is her safety, Jeremy kind of falls under that umbrella because of that.
"No, they wouldn't be able to use all that power to do what tey wanted with it. They would be bound by someone else," Damon says as he looks at her, letting it work through his head for a moment. "It would be easier to sway them to our way of thinking."
Despite the fact that they are so unlike each other in so many ways, despite the fact that they frequently argue over their many differences, they do think similarly sometimes or at least right now.
When they're not at each other's throats, they work really well together and it's what helps them work around or through their rocky... friendship more than anything else. They have a common goal here.
"A start is all I need," he says after a moment as he calculates in his head, the best way to go about this, the best people to contact. "And there are many reasons someone would need a witch that could have nothing to do with the Society."
Which would decrease suspicion when it comes to the Society figuring out someone is looking to bring them down.
It's all about playing it close to the vest right now, and Damon can do that easily. There's hope, not that Damon really does the hope-thing. There's something else to focus on and be driven after and go after, and it's what he really needed, whether Elena knew it or not, to get back on a much more stable ground.
This is not how people would think that most people would need in the face of their grief, but Damon is not most people.
If that wasn't already exceedingly obvious, hey world, Damon is not like most people, and now he has a purpose, he has something specific to go after and he will be going after it head on, unrelentingly.
...And also, he has to give Jeremy a car.
