#//also asdfjkl; salvatore uses nicknames for people more than he uses their real names

[troublewithvampires-a]

Salvatore snorts a laugh at Maggie's words, shooting her a wry grin. By this point, they've reached what he thinks is an uneasy sort of truce. They don't quite trust each other completely, which is reasonable, but he knows they wouldn't kill each other without good reason.

"Sounds about right," he hums. "Looks like that's somethin' you and I got in common, Mags." The nickname is new--the closest thing to a sign of friendship Salvatore can offer at this point. He thinks it's fair enough, all things considered--she's not wrong, after all. Based on what he's heard about this Barnabas son of a bitch, it seems they have quite a few things in common.

"But, hey," he adds, his grin turning to something almost playful. "Who says a little obsession is a bad thing? We both got some bones to pick--no harm in trying to make sure they're picked, if you catch my drift."

❝ all the things i hate get me obsessed. ❞ it's not so much a threat as it is an admission, both to salvatore and to herself. judging by what she's heard of this victor guy, she's sure he can relate.
