[Screw the distance - though some part of her will feel better later, because thank GOD that they care so little for her hometown now. Esther somehow managed to achieve the impossible? (Using Bennett magic, probably. It always boiled down to Bennett magic.)
Forget her self-vowed interest in keeping her distance from Kol, she's marching over and placing her hands around his shoulders.] That's your big plan? To just go along with whatever she says?
[He pulls back, far enough to feign surprise but not far enough to remove himself. Being touched is a feeling that's practically novel after all that solitude. There's mischief in his eyes when he smiles at her.]
When have I ever gone along with what people expected me to do? Even you know me better than that darling.
[Indeed, she does (and honestly, she could've asked a better question, if she weren't still reeling from the idea that Esther were strong enough to pull people from the Other Side). Bonnie presses her lips together, mostly to keep from grumbling even more at him.

[Busted! Kol huffs a laugh, his smile giving way to a grin that's just barely touching on apologetic.]
Well- yes, but I did also want to see you again.
[And that is true. There's not much harm they can do each other now, and there aren't many witches who have left quite this much of an impression on him, even in the centuries he's been through.]

[Otherwise, he certainly wouldn't have made the short list. Not even when she's going to try to strongarm him into doing what she wants.]
But don't worry. It's not anywhere close to Mystic Falls.
