Subdued slightly by the conversation and how it had turned, he shook his head. She was wrong of course. "Its not that they fear you. These men. Its that they don't trust you. They don't believe you're completely capable of love when you're capable of the things you do. You're far from a good person, and that, dear sister, is why you're still single. You think humanity will grant you an all consuming love? It won't. Did it make Tatia love me?" he added. Oh he was more than over it now. But it was a valid point.
Her weaknesses had been a source of much annoyance to him over the centuries and had cost him a great deal.

"You see what you are as a curse even still don't you? Because of our mother, because of what she tried to do. Look at what we are, look at what I am much as she tried to stop me achieving my potential. Maybe you get nowhere because you don't accept yourself for who you are?"
As she mentioned Tyler, Klaus rolled his eyes. Of course she knew who he was talking about.
