[Apparently. But since Stefan is the only one treating him like usual - like an interfering human, for the most part - it's all he has left.
Though. Even that. Stefan hasn't once asked him where Elena is; in fact, he's almost being... Stefan-y. Like, minimal bitching when Alaric made it clear he wasn't going anywhere (in order to make sure there's at least a little bit of interference in case the ripper decides to rip again.) He's still an asshole, sure, but it's not emotionless-Stefan asshole. Shouldn't his priority always be Elena? Why isn't he searching up and down for her? Not for her sake, but because the compulsion would be driving him to find her to keep Klaus's little human blood bag safe.
Alaric isn't even sure how to feel anymore.]
Guess so. [He turns to Stefan, regarding him for a second. Wall-throwing aside, he's not... the worst. Until Alaric colorfully remembers how he's spent the last few months tearing people apart and eating them.
Maybe he should just. Poke the bear a little.] You're not gonna ask where Elena is?
