not that she was really trying, but it became strikingly clear that he’d seen through her somehow. his phrasing hinted toward very little, so the lost petrova found herself intrigued. “i wouldn’t have survived this long if i was,” was what she offered in response.

‘I think our definitions are a little different,’ they quickly signed, a teasing smirk playing on their lips. They wouldn’t consider any of what was happening boring. ‘I’m adjusting okay.’ A more honest reply to his question, their expression more modest. ‘Have,’ they paused, a pensive curve to their brow. They were going to ask if a particular woman had made contact with them yet, but the question was far too loaded for their taste. ‘How’s Mom?’

“i’m not all that concerned, most of my history involves hiding from you, so.”

the doppelganger sported an eyeroll in response to the original’s musing, “a history i’d like to forget.”

“Me, forget? Impossible, Dad,” Winter gave a little smile towards her dad, even right now she had no clue what was going on around here but she was okay with it for the most part. “Well if she happens to show up tell her to find me but right now can you tell my why everyone looks different around here?”

“True, but there’s probably a reason you guys chose to live in New Orleans. My guess has to do with how boring this place is, but I digress. You noticed that too?”

“New Orleans was my home, and where my family was. Your mother had nothing keeping her here.” Klaus mused before simply nodding in response to his daughter’s question.

Everything was becoming so hectic. It seemed like only yesterday that their life had a harmony, that nothing could break the rhythm. Things fit into their places. Now, the tension in the town alone seemed to weigh the wolf down, and that didn’t include the fact their own family was feeling more scattered than usual. They didn’t like this place; they didn’t like what it had done to them as a family. But when they heard their father’s voice, their face lit up. ‘Hi, Daddy,’ Zeke replied with fast hands; excited.

“I don’t exactly understand what that means, but I’m sure you know what you’re talking about. If you hate it here so much, why did we come back?”

“It’s your mother’s home... and I think there might be more to it than what we were aware of at the time.”

“I’ve literally been given no details. Mom and Dad left with Felix and then Aspen left and no one’s told me anything. I heard something about vampires being a thing again, but that’s about it.”

“ i don’t have patience because bonnie doesn’t have time. not everyone is immortal. ”

“Totally, I always knew you were the wisest of the Mikaelson’s dad.” Winter smiled. “I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s doing that, but she’s supposed to wait a little while before she decides to get all Caroline Forbes up in here. She needs to show me all the secrets this place has to hide.”

“is that so?” this handsome stranger was interesting, but she wasn’t entirely impressed with his debonair nature. “how do i know you’re not simply luring fragile little me into one of your dark corners,” she teased, chestnut eyes flashing.

her gaze simply fell; the silence enough of an answer.

“i’ll take that as a resounding no.”

“a special place? sure, maybe in your twisted mind.” katherine retaliated, a short laugh following shortly afterward. "that though is true, it’ll forever bring us complete bullshit.“

“Well no one tells me anything, so I had to come here..”

“I’m not sure I’m the guy to ask.”

His smile faded, “don’t,” he said, his voice unusually cold, “he died. There’s no way he came back from that”

“He’s back.” Klaus deadpanned. “Camille, Jackson, Kaleb, Eva, they’re all back. We don’t know why, but we didn’t really care.”
