[ It's extremely soothing to discuss something as simple as where they might live, even if Stefan thinks almost immediately: Damon would know more about how to deal with this than I would. Living under the radar had been more Damon's specialty than Stefan's, unless Stefan was drowning himself in blood. Caroline's talking about a specific, above-board approach, and all Stefan can think is that they'll need to find a way to make it secure.
A practical reason it would be nice to have Elena here: if whatever they got for themselves was in her name, they could keep Klaus out. Who here could they trust to do that for them?
Something else he isn't going to discuss with Caroline, not quite yet. The question of the ring breaks his focus on that quickly enough regardless. ]
You woke up with it?
[ Stefan sounds somewhere between dubious and suspicious. ]
Caroline, how is that possible?
[ No one's told Stefan not to look a gift horse in the mouth. ]
