Elena's brows furrowed slightly at his complete disregard for the warning earlier on the network before smoothing themselves out. If that was how he wanted to play, it was none of her business if he got caught.

"I wouldn't let them hear you say that, if I were you," she warned. There was a brief moment of silence as Elena figured out how to phrase her words. She never had been very good at this 'cloak and dagger' routine that Damon was so fond of. She tried to channel his cockiness and 'I know something you don't' aura. "I heard they don't like it when people can't accept that this is reality."

There. A word of caution, and just enough vagueness leaning towards 'no' that it should answer his question of whether she believed this 'old shtick' or not. If he was able to decipher it, anyway.
