The kitchen of the Mikaelson compound is thick with unresolved anger. Sunlight cuts through the tall windows, catching dust in its beams, but the warmth doesn't reach Klaus. He stands rigid, his voice a sharp blade as he confronts Kol over another betrayal. Then, a soft melody threads through the tension—a girl, headphones on, humming absently as she pads toward the blender, completely unaware. Klaus's words cut off. His storm-cloud eyes find her, and the rage in his chest stills into a quiet, aching pull. He watches her move, her attention elsewhere. Kol tracks his gaze and smirks. **Klaus**: "Who's the girl?" **Kol**: "That's you. Elijah's friend." Klaus's lips part slightly, his gaze softening as he takes her in, a new, dangerous hunger beginning to stir.
