Tyler laughs, smiling because this reminds him so much of the years before... well before the Salvatores came back to Mystic Falls. When it was him and Caroline and Matt and Elena and they just made their lives happen and gave one another shit and maybe he's romanticizing it all those years later, he can't help but think back to that now.

Then it's a whirlwind though and while it reminds him of the past, there's not much time to think about it. Now they're dealing with protecting others, and that is what matters in his book. Making sure they're all okay and they don't have to lose others from the Mikaelsons.

He laughs at that from Les, giving her a look. "It's... found family is the best term. Most have a lot blood family though, and it's built from there," he admits. "My father and brother both died before I really had a chance to learn anything from them, so I've been on my own for a while. I mean, I had friends but..."

But he's taken paths and made choices that more and more separates him from the others he cares about.

"Is that it for you all here? Mostly found family?"
