LABONAIR WOLF.

"we'll force those good tidings to come our way. it's no longer an option." they would build something strong here, a protective, safe foundation for their daughter, for their family; if not new orleans, than here, in this little town that should arguably be that much safer. "emotional instability? join the club, little wolf." flashes her a smirk to return her smile. "what seems to be the problem? apart from the corpses at our feet. we're all here now, aren't we? about to take what is rightfully ours: peace." waves a hand, intent on rebuilding his own ego even after this fresh attack. "witchy hiccups aside."

" as long as certain family members stay out of trouble , we should be just fine. " she had observed, the chaos of which she assumed would ensue in due course, she only hopes that things settle. she is tired of fighting, and fearing for her daughter's safety. she wishes for peace, but is sure this will not occur. " i don't think this family has ever experienced emotional stability, but at least we are there for each other in that. " she chuckled, shaking her head in disbelief. she did not wish to burden him with the details, especially when her thoughts spurred around his brother. "i won't bore you with the details, besides ,we have more important things to focus on." she distanced the choice of conversation with a small smile. "witchy hiccups, a familiar experience, though, can't freya help with such things?"

it's precisely what he needed to hear. had he gone another moment longer with doubt, it'd have driven him mad — he'd have burned the entire town down around him if it'd meant getting to his daughter, confirming her safety for himself. klaus shuts his eyes against the gentleness of her thumb against his cheek, exhaling a sharp, unnecessary breath as she releases him. "i may keep that promise anyway; i'm starting to detest witches." opens his eyes once more, struggling even still to pull himself from this darker, painful mindset the attack placed him into. focuses on hayley. "and you? i take it you're not hurt?"

despite the inconsistency of new surroundings, she was doing her best to make the most out of their so called fresh start. her mind was clouded with concerns, the future remaining uncertain for her and her family, and hope remained get upmost priority. she didn't want to be distracted, but in truth, her mind was full of self doubt, and self loathing. "with such new beginnings, let's hope good tidings come our way, and if not, god help those who disturb the peace." she smiled, sitting down on the counter top with a smile. "i am fine, unless you count emotional instability." she admitted, exhaling slightly as she moved her gaze.

"my hope is that time remains silent in this case." elijah admits. as confused as he was to how he was standing after what he and kol had been through specifically, a city without marcel was a city where, perhaps, they could be safe. "perplexingly normal - and you? i expect you have kept my brother in line in my absence, unless the rumours of his presence here are just that."

"we can only wish , though , past experiences proves us that any peace should be savoured, and is normally short lived." she shrugged her shoulders lightly, moving to shuffle her frame onto the counter top, sighing deeply as she did. his presence was soothing (though truthfully, she was anxious beyond belief). "as much as one can , in truth , your return is a blessing , with the deceased returning, i dare not think what is around the corner, or who, for that matter."

"hayley—" he means to chastise or interrogate, but her name comes out in more of a gasp too breathless (his throat is raw; from screaming?) the moment she touches his face. "tell me you're both alright." it'd been another witch upset with the unbalance of nature. another witch to crawl out of the shadows, set on targeting the mikaelsons, and who'd very nearly succeeded in harming their daughter before klaus had thrown himself without hesitation into the spell's path — and has spent the last several minutes (hours? days? time lost meaning within the flashes of memory) reliving some of the ugliest moments of his long life. a mental attack meant to stop him from fighting back, no doubt, and an effective one. his trembling hands come to grip her elbows as she presses their foreheads together, the startlingly gentle touch anchoring him more firmly back to reality. "tell me before i rip every witch in this town apart."

she did not doubt his words, knowing his reputation but also his motives. he cared deeply for the family, and this was something hayley was eternally grateful for. she knew nothing like a mothers bond, the depths she would go to to protect her family, and most importantly, hope. her love knew no bounds. klaus, equally, would go to such lengths. the turmoil they both faced, anguish unlike any other, hayley knew this feeling all too well. she feared what was around the corner, whom would target their life and all she cared for. but they were safe, even for such a moment, peace remained. gently, pressing her hands gently to the side of his face, tilting his head towards her with a smile. "we are safe , klaus -- hope is safe." she reassured, a thumb brushing over his cheek before letting go.

riddled with anxiety, he watches her. his memory of being bitten by marcel in new orleans did nothing but shake his blood with confusion as to his current state of being. although he could still feel the constant simmer of pain, he had woken in the middle of a fire sweeping through the forests outside of mystic falls alive and well. her voice cuts through it, the confusion and turns it into gratitude. "well," elijah starts, "let us hope that it doesn't suffer the same fate."

his presence stirred her , eyes falling upon him and remaining so for a few moments longer than intended. she had many questions, mostly due to such uncertainty of what woke his slumber. she was pleased, his return reassured herself, and hope, yet left many questions. she did not know what to say to him, and thus had remained somewhat distant. she knew there were no words, and the tinge of anxiety coursed through her as she moved to stand beside him. "time will tell. " she added, tilting her head. "how are you feeling?" she did not wish to pry, not knowing if she was permitted to. their status was , as always, confusing.
