He really isn't good at this bit, though with how long Joss has been a vampire, Caroline figures that shouldn't be too surprising. Especially given how young he'd been when he was turned. So at very least, she can appreciate the attempt.

"So I've been told. I just didn't expect it to happen so soon." Or for it to have absolutely no connection to anything supernatural. Who would have thought that people in Mystic Falls still died of natural means?

She looks carefully at his ring. Joss isn't the first vampire here to talk of their sire as a parent figure, which still seems weird to her, since she didn't feel anything even close to that where Damon was concerned. In fact, she tried not to feeling much of anything where Damon was concerned, though she had eventually realized that she forgave him for what he'd done when she was still human.
