She's rifling through her wardrobe, looking for the perfect dress to wear for her date night with Stefan tomorrow when she hears Damon mention Game of Thrones from downstairs.

As a vampire living in a house with two other vampires, she does her best to tune out during their conversations that don't involve her.

But now of course, her curiosity is piqued, and she can't help but listen in as Damon begins to talk again.

"I see what you mean Stef, but I have to disagree. Jon Snow is clearly the dumbest character on that show. That girl with the red hair was right, he knows nothing."

Caroline drops the dress that she's holding and cocks her head to the side, listening as Stefan makes a soft noise of agreement.

"It's like he's not aware of the world around him, and that people might genuinely be out to get him." Damon continues, voice raising slightly in volume as if to drive the point home.

She's within the spacious living room within seconds, hands on her hips as she glares at Damon. She'd gotten into Game of Thrones recently, after seeing that Damon owned the box set of all six seasons.

Much to Stefan' despair of course, she'd been hooked from the very first episode. And although Stefan loved to point out the inaccuracies in the manner of speech, costumes, and politics (being the history buff that he is), she'd never listen to him, just tell him to shut up while she was watching.

And of course, she had a soft spot for Jon Snow, who was possibly the only character in the whole damn series that actually had his head screwed on properly and his priorities straight.

"I'm surprised it took you this long blondie." Damon remarks with a raised eyebrow as Stefan makes room for her beside him on the couch. She deposits herself into his lap instead.

Stefan squeezes her waist briefly before resting his chin on her shoulder.

"I don't understand why you think Jon Snow is an idiot." She finally replies to Damon, who just lets out a long suffering sigh.

"Look, I've read the books, and trust me he's just as idiotic in those as he is in the tv series." Damon explains patiently.

"Oh come on, he's like the only person in Westeros who actually realises what's happening. While everyone else is fighting over the Iron Throne, he's the one preparing for when the White Walkers come and fuck everything up."

Damon goes to open his mouth, but she cuts across him before he can say anything.

"I wouldn't expect someone like you to get a character as complex as Jon Snow anyway." She says snidely, even as Stefan lets out a sharp chuckle.

Damon looks outraged.

"I've been alive for almost 200 years and you think I haven't learnt my way around the finer points of literature?"

"I don't think anything. But I do know you're wrong. We'll see what way the cookie crumbles when Season 7 rolls around compadre."

Damon rolls his eyes before glancing at his watch.

"Well as illuminating as this conversation has been, I have somewhere to be. I'll leave the two of you to be absolutely sickening with each other."

Damon sketches an exaggerated bow before strolling out of the room like he has all the time in the world. In retrospect, he kinda does, unless he manages to piss off a witch or three.

"Well." Stefan pronounces delicately. "That was amusing."

She turns towards Stefan, running a hand through his hair.

"I'm glad I could be of entertainment." She remarks wryly, even as Stefan' lips quirk into a smile. "You look tired. Is everything okay?"

Stefan nods, pressing a kiss to the palm of her hand.

"A bit of trouble from the Armory, but nothing that Alaric and I can't handle."

She stands, tugging on his hand insistently.

"Come and have a nap. You might want to recharge the hero part of your brain." Caroline quips.

She's not surprised when he follows without any resistance.
