[ katherine's trying to figure out exactly he wants out of this conversation. he's already asked her too many questions—to her fortune, he hadn't thought to space them out—and she doesn't feel inclined on giving him any answers ever. ]
Maybe it's the only place where I've felt like I'm at home. [ she gives that answer a serious tone, although it's followed by her inhaling and frowning, tone and expression turning into something mocking. ] Or perhaps it's because I have unfinished business. Or maybe, I'm making sure that all my loose ends are tied up. I did have a house in Mystic Falls I'm renting, too. I sometimes want to make sure that those people are still alive and haven't been eaten by the latest crazy vampire.
[ if he truly wants to look deep into her plethora of answers, the first is the true reason why. but mystic falls doesn't feel like home to her; it's simply a place where she existed, and maybe fooled herself into believing she could live. ]
[ katherine's expression hardens. given she's still on the coattails of pennsylvania and elijah's easily elicited distrust of her intentions, she's feeling a bit sore over it. the first time she's tried to settle down, and it's ruined by his friends. it's ruined by someone's lack of trust in her.
with a deep inhale in, her entire demeanour changes to being perky. ] Don't you think we've taken up space in this aisle for long enough?
( he's hit a nerve and he knows he's hit a nerve. he might have pushed on a different day but he doesn't today. so, be thankful, katherine.
instead, he nods and glances down at his bottle. )
I should leave you alone anyway. I just came for this. ( and he'd gotten what he needed so he was going to gracefully exit before they could start arguing. )
[ good, go! she has to push her cart like the lady she is and go get some high-end shampoo, a tub of ice-cream, then come back here for a bottle of vodka and a sharp kitchen knife. ]
Bye, Stefan.
[ she has to have the last word, you know, since he did ruin her shopping experience. ]

( he has his moments but, overall, he thinks he's fairly intelligent and observant. he glances over at her, fixing her with an inquisitive look. )
And you know that. If you don't want to share, that's fine. I just know you have other reasons for coming back that aren't me.

( he says it idly, making a show of reading the label on his bottle before glancing at her. )
I thought you felt pretty strongly about that place.
