Where would I go? I have no idea where we are, Elena. So yes, I could pick you up and get us away from here but I do not know this place.

( so, it seems like it would be a waste of time to do that. time and energy especially if he was going to have to find a willing blood source. he doesn't want to have to think that far in the future, though. he wants to be gone and out here in the next hour. )

It would be a waste and if you know me at all, you know I don't like to waste anything.
