If she had not seen firsthand the strangeness occurring in Mystic Falls, would she have believed in vampires? She would have believed Bonnie, she thinks, even without the floating feathers that encircled them. But then, it was Bonnie.
Elena contemplates this all when Jon's offer comes. She brings herself to a stop and briefly thinks to give a half-hearted protest, but she does notice how unaffected he is by the cold in comparison - might have something to do with the fact he's from a land called Winterfell.
More than that, she notices the way he looks just then, so serious and resolved. With a small smile that just nearly borders on shy, Elena turns in place so that the coat can go over her shoulders, first sweeping her hair up so it doesn't get caught in the furs.
