Character(s): Klaus and whoever. Damon or Elena would be hilarious, but anyone would be awesome.
Rating: TBD
Cautions/Warnings: Probably swearing - others TBD.
Location: Woods near the arrival hut.
Approximate Date: evening after Klaus' arrival.
Status: open

Once he got accustomed to the idea that he was in an unnamed place where, shock and awe, his powers barely worked, Klaus waited until sundown and decided to explore so he knew his surroundings just in case something were to happen. He didn't like getting caught off-guard, and the best way to prevent that was to know his surroundings. He wasn't the type to panic, so he was keeping an even temper right now. Nothing worse than a temper tantrum in the middle of the wilderness.

Idly he wondered if he was the only one here, or if there were others who had been unfortunately nabbed into this abandoned landscape. Judging by how often he got duped, there probably weren't very many people in the same predicament as he. Maybe he was just on a downward slope, though, because first he'd gotten the coffins taken from him, and now this? Hm, he must have been going into a funk...

Traipsing through the woods, he found little things that told him about the island. There was an upside to have grown up in the woods with his family, after all. Touching each leaf as he passed it, he scanned the wooded horizon with a critical eye. He could see each trail leading over the hills and through the gnarled trees that led back toward the beach. He kept stomping through the forest, barely caring how much noise he was making.

"Mm," Klaus replied noncommittally; no one would be able to corner him into an explicit agreement, because that just was not how he operated. He'd agree to the truce, and he did keep his word, but he couldn't guarantee that... extenuating circumstances wouldn't stop him from doing something accidentally, right? This place seemed so unpredictable.

Klaus didn't dignify the second quip a response, because he didn't need to. His company - while chaotic and unpredictable - was never boring, and he was the first to admit - or boast - that. Boring had not been a word in his vocabulary since he was young.

A muscle in his jaw flickered and he gave a tight, pleased smile when Eric tightened his grip on his hand, and he increased his grip as well. "I've already said that you cannot intimidate me, Eric. I said they are safe, and so they are. I am a man of my word, after all," he replied. Truly, Eric had given him the exact response he'd desired by tacking on the little jab.

In another life, perhaps, Klaus would have made an excellent lawyer. If there was the tiniest loophole, he'd take full advantage. Eric was determined not to let that happen here.

'Yes you are a man of your word. But you're also one to look for and exploit loopholes. I have a long memory, and you can't exactly hide from me on this island. So play nice,' he hissed softly.

Klaus had actually fancied becoming a lawyer in the past, because while he did enjoy being a man of his word, he also enjoyed exploiting whatever weakness or loopholes he could find that gave him a little bit of leeway when it came to achieving his goals. He was known for taking advantage of a small lead, and running with it until the finish line. It was just how he was.

When Eric pointed out just that, he got a small smirk on his face. Of course Eric would remember exactly how he used to be - vampires tended to have stone-solid memories, after all. "I'll play nice," he told him, smirk fading into one of his boyish grins as he crossed his arms over his chest. "And I don't plan on hiding from anyone," he added for good measure.
