"I can't get to it while we're stuck here, anyway. Rose might know what it looks like - maybe even Caroline," and there's a wince and frown that follows mentioning the blonde vampire who was supposed to be his ward since Damon wasn't in the business of putting any effort into caring for those he turned, unintentional siring or not. He wants to ask if she's been settling into Taxon okay, but that's not why he's here. "If no-one from home who's ahead of me in the timeline doesn't know what it looks like and how it feels, I'll get a description to you."

Stefan reaches out with the fingers of the hand not already entwinned with hers to touch her arm, tracing patterns from her elbow to her shoulder, down and back up again. "If you have it, then if Klaus ever shows up in Taxon, he'll be barganing with you and not Katherine. Your life will be in your own hands and not someone else's. Both you and the moonstone are needed for the ritual. Without one or the other, it can't be performed."
