coming off as too strict or overbearing wasn’t really something that elijah took pride in doing, but it was something he felt he had to do. finn was never really a brother to them, not in the sense of one that actually wanted to be alive after they all turned. that was why he felt like it was up to him to make sure his siblings had an older brother they could actually look up to. even if he had to give into his own cravings from time to time. the original took a handkerchief from his pocket and ran it across his mouth. elijah didn’t make too much of a mess, but he could sense there was still some blood and he didn’t want to risk eating anymore. “everything can be done in moderation brother, we don’t have to constantly break all the rules and laws known to mankind.” he compelled the man he fed from to walk away and forget about all of this and now kol was the one with his attention. “i don’t know how you and niklaus find so much pleasure in constantly breaking them.”

"sometimes i wonder if mother ever had a point.” the idea of esther coming back once just to try and wipe out all of her children was still fresh in her mind. every now and then she felt like another mikaelson was out there letting her down in some way. yet, rebekah knew that she wasn’t exactly innocent in that sense either. “but then i remember that for centuries now, the only ones we have to turn to are ourselves.” she wouldn’t trade her family for anything. for the most part, they were the closest thing she had to feeling normal. “even the hotheaded ones like you.” a soft chuckle escaped her lips as she looked over at kol. both of them could be quite the loose cannon when the situation called for it. the only difference was that people called him a psycho for it and her a brat. “what’s on your agenda this decade, revenge, chaos, or fun?”
