I'm going to stay here. [ she nestles a little further into the armchair, pulling her legs up to fold underneath her. she rests her head against the back of the chair and lets her head loll to the side. maybe she's telling the actual truth; elena feels more tired than she has in a long time, and this chair is really comfortable. she knows she's safe with elijah lingering in the house. she can lower her guard right now.
it's with a small smile that she admits, ] I'm kind of tired and could use a cat nap.
