then elena realises she's not exactly afraid of what he will say. she's afraid of what she will think, feel, say, sound.
she wants to look away, but she doesn't. ]
Are you dead? Not undead. Dead.
[ from what he says, she doubts it. "recovering" implies he's alive, able to heal and move on. she wonders what from—another dagger? another betrayal from klaus? ]
