Re: The Shop Stalls: Caroline/Klaus
"Terribly boring considering the alternative, love," Klaus found himself teasing as he led Caroline down the path. Just a ways off the beaten path before her turned to face her, his smirk faded into an amused smile. "I've a gift for you. Not your Christmas gift, mind you, but something special." Reaching into his pocket he produced a small, velvet box that he presented to her. Within it was a delicate, fine, white gold charm bracelet of sorts with a singular, exquisite charm linked to it in the shape of an M. It was the sigil of his house, one she would know well.
"I mean this not as a claim upon you," Klaus explained. "This means you are part of our family. It's not meant to have you forsake your own, only to signify that we will always protect and care for you. We shall always have your back. I, for all I've done, will always have your back. And I will always, always... love you. As family and as so much more than that."
