Jaye. The other one-- ask Jaye about it, but I can't.
[ she promised about alayne, and she won't break yet another vow, a duty she should have upheld but somehow slept through anyway. ]
I don't know if you've met him, but there's another vampire-- Godric. He's older, and stronger. I can ask him to step in, and...
[ she stops, swallows hard. ] I know this doesn't sound good, and it's definitely unfair, but you can't throw Klaus in a cell as it is and if you piss him off, he's worse.
[ so godric is the solution, says her expression. ]
[Jenna says Jaye's name, and Taylor could almost laugh. Of course it was her. Taylor hadn't seen her make a good decision yet, just a series of ridiculous things that she wouldn't admit were stupid, and only seemed to be fucking her over. And now Taylor was clearing up another one of her messes.]
Fucking idiot.
[It's muttered under her breath, no real bite to it. She wasn't going to blame Jaye for this, not with everything Jenna's told her. Sounded like this monster vampire was going to mess with people no matter - it was just typical that Jaye was first in line.
Vampire vs. vampire doesn't sound like much, but if this Klaus was as strong as Jenna said then getting stronger was the only way to get leverage against him. Overpower him. For a second Taylor thinks through the names she knows, considers Reaper, Jack Harkness. There was no guarantee there - no guarantee with Jenna's plan either, but Jenna knew both these guys. If it went south, Taylor could look at trying another route. She nods.]
You're gonna have to let me lay it out to him first. [Negotiation, warning, however they wanted to think of it: just one sentence would cover it, as far as she was concerned. Taylor knows how weak it sounds in the face of what Jenna's saying, but she has to do things right.] Someone hears I just had a guy dealt with, it could fuck me over.
[ jenna rubs a hand over her forehead at that, laughing wryly. ]
For two people who clash so much, you sure sound a lot like each other sometimes.
[ she doesn't clarify, instead nodding back at jaye and sighing deeply. ] I know. It won't work, but believe me-- I understand you're not doing this for him.
[ she crosses her arms over her chest, almost a hug. ] I wouldn't ask you to risk your job like that-- or, not without acknowledging I was doing it.
[ because she won't lie and pretend it could never ever happen. ]
