"Agreed."

Josie's ... dealt with Klaus and Kol more than she probably should have, but she's more than happy that Elena's here. She knows she shouldn't trust the Mikaelsons, but this is what happens when you have to make due with what you've got.

"And an adult who's ... ours. Not Hope's. No offense intended to Hope, she's great. I think you'll like her."

There's a small pang to learn Alaric and Caroline were both around not long before she arrived. She hasn't seen Alaric, particularly, in years. She misses them, but their absence only fortifies her desire to protect the twins - their girls.

"I met her, briefly. And you're right, I did like her."

It was not without some discomfort, this first meeting. Klaus Mikaelson loomed large in between the silences and after, but Hope is not her father, and Elena isn't in the business of holding someone accountable for things they didn't do.

"Are the three of you close?"
