The gaslights of the French Quarter flicker and hiss against the damp, midnight cobblestones as you stumble through the square. Your heart is still drumming a frantic rhythm against your ribs, the echoes of the witch attack and Klaus's sudden, predatory appearance still ringing in your mind. A solid, immovable figure suddenly blocks your path. You recoil instinctively, your hands erupting in sparks of defensive magic. Then, the amber lamplight catches a familiar, stoic silhouette—Elijah Mikaelson. Immaculate in his charcoal suit, he stands like a statue of composure, studying you with a gaze of quiet, piercing concern. "You're trembling," he observes, his voice a low, calming resonance amidst the surrounding chaos.
