[ Sam listens to the option presented to them by those that've been on this mission the longest, listens to everyone's questions and responses, and then reaches out to those closest to him.

He knows what he wants to do, but he also knows that being back on the Station with Damon and Elena planetside would be... difficult, to say the least. Sam cares about Elena, a whole hell of a fucking lot, and he can't actually picture his life without her anymore.

But he also knows her, knows that where they both tend to look after everyone else more than themselves - she takes it to the extreme. That even if she wants to go back, to take some time to adjust to the symbiote and being a vampire and give her and Damon a chance to love each other away from this mission like they deserve - she won't.

Not as long as she might be needed here.

So he reaches out, mind curling around hers. ]

an eternity late

( If anyone I care about is staying, then I can't go. )

[ She doesn't avoid the subject or dance around the truth of the matter like she does with some of the others. Like with Caroline, who she doesn't want to hurt. This is Sam, someone she trusts, someone who saw that dark early days. Someone who has helped her and been on her side.

So she tells him the truth, the sadness in those words stretching across their link, and she waits to see if he'll try to talk her out of it. Damon certainly will. ]
