He just hadn’t expected her to be alive, let alone in Mystic Falls. “That’s a relief” He said almost automatically. After all he was allowed to wallow in his own self pity for a few moments. “I’m…Ric. Pardon me for asking, but how exactly is it possible that you are alive?”

                 The surprised look on his face was just what she expected, waiting for him to let it sink in. She was sure it had to be a lot to process for him, as it would be for anyone. “I assume Elena tries to check up on you often?” She asked with a smirk. “A pleasure to meet you, Ric. Oh, do not apologize, I was expecting the question,” she smiled sweetly at him. “My best guess would be Esther, the original witch. When Elena became a vampire… I was resurrected. My assumption is that it was some sort of loophole to give Niklaus one last chance to break his curse or make hybrids,” she explained as best she could. “Would you like to have a drink with me? We could sit and talk about this… maybe you will have a better reason for my resurrection than what I have assumed.”
