"Just over thinking," he admitted. "You want to dance? I'm not good, but it might stop me from thinking?"

"I know most people would say no to that, but honestly, if that's the price to pay then yes. I will be some completely different, this isn't the life I planned anyway, and the people I love... well most of them are dead, so pretty happy to change their future as well."

"Yeah, well the two people I love most are... well one is dead and the other is almost dead. And I-" well he was dead as well. Maybe it was the lack of feelings talking about he was willing to risk it. "I think i'll take the chance."

“Rafael and Hope would still be the best people I know,” he said. That didn’t come from Landon that was all them. Landon looked at the other. “Maybe,” he said. “Lizzie and Josie have great lives and you are died. I think they got exactly what they deserved but did you?” He asked. He hasn’t been the ruler of limbo for no reason. He felt for everyone. "You don't want to be more than your role. I know the role my father had for me sucked. I did everything to change it."

Landon chuckled weakly. “Everything,” he said. “There is a young version of me out there about to experience 18 years of abuse in the bad days, neglect on the average days or just knowing that no one wanted him on the good days. If I can give him another life, parents that love him? Why shouldn’t I?”

“Yeah, every movie tells you that isn’t not a great idea but what if you know you die? Or you know someone you love dies?”

"Over my dead body, are you gonna change the future." Kaleb replied, taking a seat next to Landon. "You really gonna give up the people that love you, Lan?"

“Changing it doesn’t mean I don’t end up at the Salvatore school,” he pointed out. In fact maybe he could be there earlier given he could tell people what he was. “Plus, I already gave them up for an eternity in limbo. Salvatore School would be safer with me, don't you think?”

Raising an eyebrow at the question posed, he was amused by the fact that there was someone in this town who was openly conversing with him - wondering if the younger man knew who he was. "Well that would be dependent on what kind of future we're talking about. So unless you've got a crystal ball.."

“Well say I knew a good 30 years,” he commented. A small smile of amusement at the idea of a crystal ball. “Not sure about a crystal ball but I have some pretty clear details,” he said, looking up at Klaus. “Like I know how your future ends.” That felt like the wrong thing to say to Klaus Mikaelson, but what was he going to do? Kill him.

"That would be the point, wouldn't it? To make real big change happen." He didn't really know what the other had to change but he was died and the love of his life had her humanity off.

"Yeah, I think i'm considering it," he said, though the other wouldn't really understand how clear a choice that was for him right now.

"Yet you still knew where to find me," he pointed out. "Even when I was dead." That felt like he still always found his way back to her. He understood it, how much she had lost, but he also had something she didn't with her humanity off... hope. "And what if you can save them? You are here, right now, you kill the hollow before it can hurt anyone. You stop your mother from dying. You save your dad. You kill Malivore before it's a choice between me and the world. We have years to make better plans before all that stuff happens. Are you going to miss that chance because you are scared to turn it on again?"

"Yeah," he said with a nod. It thought hearing it from someone else would tell him it was a crazy idea but the truth was, it felt all the more real to him. "You happen to know anyone looking to adopt a baby?"
