[ Caroline breathes, listening to Klaus, clearly trying to absorb this all while working to steady herself. ]
She told you, but not me. [ It's blurted out, no need to preface her disappointment. Balanced as she is, compared to years ago, there are certain people, when she's around, that she falls to more base instincts. If you can't just say what's on your heart to certain folks, what's the point?
She swallows, a sigh with a soft trembling following. ] Why would she tell me, when she knows I'd be mad. [ It's true. Foresight rarely accompanies moments like this; and, Caroline has (and will continue to) gone off at friends and loved ones for engaging in dumb, dark activities.
That's not how she'd want to react to anything her daughters did, but she's imperfect, too.
Another little sigh, this time from rounded lips. ] I'll help her. I know...I believe she'll listen. I just...gotta approach it right.
[ A beat. A sigh. A knitting of her brows. ] Did it feel like darkness from home...or something from here? She's, I...I haven't felt like there's been anything that came with her from home, that I recognize. But, maybe I just didn't want to see it.
[ Maybe the maze's effect is to blame for what's transpired, what's started to bite at Josie's will. Caroline is all to familiar with events that have effects like that, suddenly sweeping out of nowhere. But, she has to ask, knowing Klaus is already more familiar with this than herself. She wants to be informed, even as her heart aches for her daughter. ]
