So he kills him but it seems he's not dead by next week. I know it will be something snarky.
Prob, "It happens" or "Cheers to that" or both😏 We're all on our way out, act accordingly.
Maybe he'll just say "humans" to himself.
He'll probably say that they are even for him killing Tyler. Which is BS because his ass needs to stay dead.
Something like: "Nice one but I still have a 2-1 lead." Or 3, I don't remember how many times Damon killed Alaric. Which would be worse - to live as a monster, or to die as a good man?
