Damon and Alaric’s friendship | TVD Edits

In this clip, Damon Salvatore wakes up Alaric Saltzman (who goes by “Rick”) by pouring a drink over him or after having recently killed him. Because Alaric wears a magical Gilbert ring, dying and coming back to life is an occupational hazard for him whenever Damon gets triggered or loses control.
When Alaric gasps awake and realizes what happened, he jokingly complains that it took him longer than usual to return and worries that his ring might be “going bad.” Damon casually brushes it off with a “no hard feelings” excuse, claiming he was just on a bender and upset because people were telling him how to behave. Alaric fires back with witty sarcasm, telling him that maybe people just realize he’s a jerk, leaving Damon with one of his trademark brooding glares.
