❝ It isn't that it's difficult to put together, darling, it's that there are three parts missing. ❞ He sighs, but when she shoots him that little grin he can't quite stop his own lips twitching.

She's exasperating, but he adores her. ❝ You're going to have to have them fetch the parts if you want this built. ❞

She can feel his gaze turn to her, and it takes everything in her to not just smirk back at him. The laptop spins to show the daybed instructions and video on her screen, clicking play on the little video on how to build it.

Anthea grins at him from her seat. ‘As if you won’t enjoy it either. Besides, it’s really not that hard to put together. Do you have the parts list?’

Elijah's gaze follows her gesture absently, and his eyes fall on the building as she goes off on her little rant. He's still smiling, listening along as his eyes flick back towards her. She smacks his chest, and Elijah catches her wrist before she can withdraw it, smile widening. ❝ You, darling. Always. ❞ He presses a kiss against her knuckles before releasing her, eyes flicking toward the building momentarily. ❝ You are not ❛ some guy ❜ and you are not going to get your ass beat. If anything, it's Niklaus that should be worried, darling. ❞

Elijah doesn't even need to give her the go-ahead before she's on her bullshit, again. Gesturing in the general direction of the Abattoir and his ridiculous brother, "I am not goin' to no showdown disguised as some big, family dinner. For real, yo, when's the last time you had dinner with Nik and 'some guy' didn't get their ass beat? Or worse. Hate to be St. Obvious, here, but you guys are Mikaelsons. I'm 'some guy'." His lil smile catches her attention and she returns it, a little growly, and gives him a playful thwack in the chest with a balled-up fist, "The hell you smilin' at? Brat-ass vampire"

❝ don't tell me to quit being melodramatic it's the only time i have any fun. ❞

Elijah's lips press together slightly as he fails to fight off a smile, his gaze shifting toward Faith. ❝ Is it now? ❞ He drags a deliberate glance over her, before he makes a sweeping gesture. ❝ Then I certainly won't hold you back, darling. Go ahead... Be as melodramatic as you'd like. ❞

Elijah felt his brows pinch together when he discovered where she was. It took him by surprise enough that he found himself pausing almost mid-step, his gaze fixed up on her where she perched in the tree. People have done strange things to hide from him, but this is something entirely new.

❝ ... You're stuck, aren't you? ❞ He said in lieu of an answer to her question, his lips turning up into a small smirk. ❝ Climbing a tree in a dress is perhaps not your smartest idea, Aurora. ❞

❝ that's not the worst thing i've ever heard but it's certainly up there. ❞

❝ That's not even the worst thing I've heard this week. ❞ He hums, his brows lifting just a little as he glances at her, before his lips twitch upwards. ❝ But you're right, that is certainly enough of that. Let's leave him to it, hm? ❞

Elijah didn't buy it, not for a second. His brows lifted a little as he watched her approach, his tie slipping through her fingers, and for a moment he followed the movement of the fabric before he glanced back up to meet her gaze. ❝ So you thought hiding in my closet and stealing my tie was the way to go? ❞ He asked, his lips twitching briefly. ❝ And I'm to believe that's all you were after? A souvenir? ❞

enduringlystoic asked: “I know that you’re hiding.”

Katherine meant to be in and then out before he showed up. Clearly there was a slight miscalculation involved. Slipping out of his closet, one of his ties still in hand. Running her fingers along the blue silk. Her eyes moved to connect with his, taking a small step closer, as she tilted her head. "I know we've already said our goodbyes, but apparently that wasn't enough for me." Katherine decided it was best to play it off, like he was supposed to find her here.

❝ I've no issue admitting you're right. ❞ Elijah hums, leaning back in his chair. ❝ Should the day ever arise where you are, I'll certainly admit it. ❞

❝ i would love to help you but i'm afraid i'm suffering from a terrible case of 'it's not my problem.' ❞

Elijah closes his eyes, inhaling slowly for a moment before he turns to face Anthea, who's lounging on the couch with her laptop. "It's very much your problem, darling, considering you ordered the damn thing."

Elijah smiles as she speaks, as she immediately slides her arms around his neck and rocks up for the kiss that she knows is coming. He doesn't hesitate to give it to her, lips shifting slowly against her own for a moment or two before he hums softly and draws away just enough that he can meet her gaze again.

"You look incredible in that dress, Anthea." He tells her, pecking another soft kiss to her lips as he presses his palm into the small of her back to keep her flush against him. Not that he thinks for a second that she plans to go anywhere.

"I can assure you I would never bring you anything horrible." He laughs, before he brings forth a bouquet of sunflowers, a long, slender jewellery box grasped between his thumb and the paper around the flowers.

Elijah sighs-- sounding rather long suffering for someone only being asked to consider a gaudy shirt. He can see the way she's trying to not to outright smirk, but it's easing its way onto her lips regardless. "It's not happening, darling."

The look he gets back is one slightly perplexed. "Sure I do." Katherine stands before three medium-loud Hawaiian shirts, his size. "White, blue," she can't help the way her mouth curves. "Or orange?"

"Perhaps it's both." He muses, almost thoughtful.

Tristan's smirk earns a lift of Elijah's brow, but his own lips twitch upwards in response as he tilts his head. "I suppose we both know a thing or two about endless devotion to a troubled sibling, don't we? Determination to prove that with just a little more work they could become something easier to manage. Doesn't seem to be working for either of us, hm?"

He helps himself to a seat, unbuttoning his suit jacket so that he can get comfortable as he relaxes back and crosses one leg over the other. "You've missed me, have you?" He hums, his smile only widening for a moment. "I'm not sure how much I believe that, but I appreciate the attempt."

     “Mud zombies?” He repeats, his brows lifting a little. “That’s certainly a new one. Are they... easy to kill?” The thought of Faith splattering mud around as she swings her scythe makes him smile briefly, before she questions the gurgling and Elijah sighs, softly. “Apologies. I told him to be quiet.” He clicks his tongue once, and wrenches the vampire’s heart free to let him hit the ground. The heart follows with a wet thunk. “There, all free, darling. How long are you going to be stuck dealing with all this?” 

enduringlystoic​:

   ❝ Darling. ❞ He greets as he picks up the phone, gently shushing the vampire whose heart he currently has his fingers curled around as he focuses on her voice.  ❝ No, no. I’m not busy, I can talk. ❞ He assures her, squeezing when the vampire attempts to make a sound to make sure he knows that’s not in his best interest. 

@thatslayer​ ♥’d

                   "Hey. Thought I was gonna be on the road by now but we got side-tracked. Turns out mud zombies are a thing and if you step on their graves they get big-ass mad. We’re okay. Stopped at a La Quinta in Santa Fe, probably be here a couple nights to regroup. Our hunting party’s kinda scattered, wanna make sure everybody’s accounted for. You sure you’re good to talk? Hearin’ this gurgling noise…”
