[And the next part, he tenses more, deciding to take a long drink from that bottle Klaus had thrown at him.
Honestly? He's not surprised by any of it. The only person outside of Caroline who probably gives a shit is Mason -- and he's not going to bring him up. The less Klaus knows about him being attached to his uncle, the better.]
None, apparently.
[The worst part is Tyler agrees, he's expendable. If he knew for certain Caroline didn't come from Klaus' bloodline, he would see himself as an acceptable loss in order to get rid of Klaus.]
At best you're forgotten, at worst you're their enemy. [Because while the magic that sustains him does the same for all of them, it's his blood that flows through Tyler's veins.] And Caroline - well, they've had no qualms about using her in their ineffectual plots before.
[Caroline. His tone remains impassive as he tugs at that string again, an imperfection in Tyler he can't forgive. His hybrids are supposed to be stronger than that, more loyal than that. Bone and muscle and instinct may belong to Klaus, but the boy's humanity remains a glaring defect. Enough to manipulate, but too much for Klaus to stomach in his creation.]
I know they'd use her. They're good at using people.
[It's part playing along, it's part truth. Other than Caroline and Mason, Tyler has no loyalties to most of the Mystic Falls crew here. Not really.
And it doesn't take long to figure out how people like Damon operate. The ends justify the means. Except they don't. Not in Tyler's mind. Not if it's putting someone he cares about in danger.]

What can I say? I like surprising people.
