"How enjoyable for yourself." Sure the pain didn't last that long given how quickly she healed but it sure as hell hurt in the moment. "Care to switch places for a night?" She offered, smirking as they continued walking. "Maybe you'll see why I don't find it the least bit entertaining." Supposedly she could agree with him. He was fond of her name just as she was fond of his. They both changed over the years, names included. Though her change hadn't been because of the times but because of her running, her fear of him. Fear of being found and used for the sacrifice. How ironic it had been, that she didn't even have to be used after all. She should have thanked Elena for that, but she didn't bother. It was pointless.
"Whatever you say Niklaus." She chirped right back. It was weird, how comfortable she felt in that moment around him, despite knowing full well that he could end her in a split second. That thought alone almost made her wonder why he hadn't yet. The sacrifice had happened, he was what he wanted to be this whole time and yet he still kept her around. The only reason he'd do so was if..
Katherine smirked as realization hit her. Klaus liked her. Loved her? Probably not, she'd be shocked if he returned her feelings but damn it was a start. If he wasn't fond of her in any sort she'd be long dead, especially now that the sacrifice had been done and over with. "Klaauussss." She drawled his name as they left the alley and stood only a few feet from the complex. "You like me." She stated simply before running. It wasn't running from him per-say, more like a chase. A chase that she wanted. One that she anticipated. One she knew the outcome of.
