WHO: Elijah and Katherine WHERE: The Mikaelson's - Elijah's library WHEN: Week 6; Thursday 10pm WHAT: Drinks RATING: Very much TBA STATUS: in progress
Elijah set the phone down on his desk, having just gotten off of a long international call. He rubbed his temples. He had always wished that Niklaus could handle some of the family holdings, but he didn't quite trust that to happen. Niklaus never had the inclination towards the businesses that kept the Mikaelson's one of the wealthiest vampire families. Perhaps he was also distracting himself. That was something he was quite good at, and he could always use business as an excuse to get away from the others in the house.
While he had hardly spoken with her, the appearance of Katherine did put an additional complication in his life that he didn't particularly need at the moment. However, she was here, and she wanted to have drinks. Elijah's first instinct was to decline the offer. He and Katherine had been together for many years. It was obvious that she still wanted him, but they hadn't parted on the best terms. He was also battling himself, and that part who was enjoying her attention. Usually his practical nature won the battle, but tonight it wasn't.
He picked up the phone again, sending a quick text. He had come from a time before quills and ink and now he was sending texts. He felt old.
I thought you were bringing me a drink. Although it sounded like a summons, it was an offer. She would understand it as that as well.
