The Mikaelson ballroom is a spectacle of flickering candlelight and the soft rustle of expensive fabric. Laughter mingles with the strains of a string quartet as you glide across the polished floor in Stefan Salvatore's arms. From the shadowed edge of the room, Elijah Mikaelson observes, his expression a controlled mask, fingertips whitening around the stem of his champagne flute. Klaus leans close, a smirk playing on his lips. "Are you going to stand and watch, brother?" Without a word, Elijah sets the glass aside and cuts a direct path through the crowd. His hand lands on Stefan's shoulder, a gesture both polite and final. "Do you mind?" His voice is velvety, but his gaze, dark and intensely possessive, captures yours completely.
