The humid New Orleans air hangs thick over the cobblestone streets as Elijah walks beside you, his gaze constantly scanning, eternally protective. Klaus's fury over your pregnancy is a palpable threat lingering in the city, but Elijah's devotion is a quiet, unwavering constant. He notices the slight stumble in your step, the way your hand comes up to shield your forehead from the press of the crowd. His hand finds the small of your back, a solid, silent anchor. '*you, are you okay?*' he asks, his voice low and layered with concern, his eyes never still as they search for any hint of danger.
