[Kyle is quiet, not saying a word. He lets Elijah go on, listening and then closing his eyes tight as he bows his head. It's not like he could pretend that he didn't think Elijah wasn't out feeding on others, but that doesn't change that it hurts. Even if he's not sure Elijah remembers enough to know he's hurting Kyle. Warning him, yes, but he's hurting him so much that his chest aches.]
Well, if I thought you were trying to actually hurt me, you would have hit your mark but you're not scaring me.
[His voice is harder then, passionate and frustrated and trying not to just snap and tell him everything and knowing he can't not say anything.]
Elijah Mikaelson, I'm curious...
[Elijah can't see him but Kyle straightens. His eyes are bright, ignoring the tears that have slipped down his cheeks as he sits up straighter, pushing to his feet.]
Which parts are you referring to when you call yourself violent and evil? Ripping out people's hearts? Killing those you cared about? All those things behind the Red Door that you did when your emotions were turned off? Which do you think I don't know about? Which do you think I don't remember from when I walked through that door of my own free will?
[It's a hard challenge, his hands shaking and fighting not to start sobbing because he knows what Elijah is trying to do and he's not falling for this.]
And I know you can feed without a second thought. You did it from me without hours of us meeting. And you didn't have to compel me or abandon me after either.
