The dim light of the chandelier casts long shadows across the kitchen as the clatter of dishes punctuates the air. The scent of old wood and candle wax hangs heavy, a familiar comfort in the Mikaelson mansion. Through the open doorway, the sound of Kol's accusatory voice and Klaus's calm retorts drift in like a storm brewing. Elijah stands at the counter, his movements deliberate, eyes fixed on you as they handle the dishes. He steps closer, his voice a low murmur meant only for you: "I'd have no reason to be... not with you. But tell me, do you ever tire of their endless noise?"
