Damon had his car, so Stefan alternated between taking the trams and walking. It was admittedly the first time he'd stepped foot on Taxon's public transportation system, since he'd made a habit of simply using the speed gifted to him by his vampirism to move around as freely and quickly as he pleased. He'd do the same now, save he didn't want to risk setting off the suspicion alarms. With Angelus out, he needed to play things more carefully; people were no doubt on their guards.

Which was exactly why Stefan was heading to the castle. Elena had asked him to come protect Dawn and everyone else at the castle under the pretense that he was unsettled by all this and wanted to sit with this frightened girlfriend. After all, Damon had a plan and was working with Buffy to see it through, and he was stuck, once again, playing the roll of scared kid brother while Damon was playing vampire hunter.

Sometimes, he really hated being seventeen forever.

The tram soon came to a stop at the depot closest to the castle. Stefan got off and walked the rest of the way, letting himself in once he got to the castle. Perhaps knocking would've been the polite thing to do, but he had obtained an invite from Dawn a few months ago and in line with the 'scared kid brother' role, he just wanted to get inside and away from the threat of the psychotic vampire on the loose.
