"do you want me to talk you out of it?", elijah questioned as he eyed hope with great attention. it was an important decision to make, one that cannot be undone. "if you have any doubts, then i would advise you to wait until you're absolutely certain." she should not feel forced to do so just because she was afraid that time was running out or that she owed it to someone.
"it’s ultimately your decision alone. a decision that needs to be carefully considered." a decision she could make of her own free will. she didn't have to go this path. "i have to admit that ... if i had had the choice back then, i would have decided against it." his eyebrows knotted together thoughtfully because while he isn't sentimental about his condition, he would have not chosen this life.
"i obviously do not know what it feels like for a hybrid or a tribid, how far change is possible. i don't know if it's thoughtful to make such a decision below twenty. for rebekah, this life is sometimes very hard and kol often doesn’t have the mental maturity to be a responsible vampire. they were in hindsight too young when they turned."
