"Klaus asked me to run away with him, but I told him I would never leave Rebekah and Kol at the mercy of Mikael."

It's so interesting at how things changed. Early on, Elijah protected his youngest siblings. Then the guilt from him not being able to do the same for Klaus caused him to enable such horrid behaviors for centuries, all under the guise of "Klaus will do good if he's happy."

So, in helping Kol and Rebekah, he feels he betrayed Niklaus. But the reality is, he betrayed his youngest two siblings by enabling Klaus. He could never be a good brother to all three of them at once (forget how he treated Finn, but to be fair, that was equal opportunity loathing). But I also feel circumstances never truly allowed him to.

She hates bad manners because Elijah taught her better.
