Tyler had plenty of opportunity to lay into Klaus while Klaus took the opportunity to calculate just how many of Tyler's teeth he could knock out without making him look like a jack-o-lantern. "I don't really think everyone should bow down to me just the inferior people. It's hardly my fault that you and your little friends are all so woefully inadequate. If you weren't you'd stop dropping like fruit flies." Klaus landed a particularly nasty jab to Tyler's kidney and continued to work the spot for several minutes.
He hadn't wanted to hurt the little bastard in the beginning but the mention of he and Rebekah being buried forced a snarl from his throat. It was a slip of control and Klaus forced himself to pull it together. He could kill Tyler - easily. One quick, clean snap and it would all be over but for the crying. Sadly the satisfaction would only be short term and Klaus had more interesting plans for the future. Tyler was the best of the hybrids Klaus had managed to achieve and there could come a time when he would be useful. There was no point in breaking his toy simply because Tyler was having a hissy fit.
"I wish you would have been there too. Listening to you drone on and on would have been a soothing way to fall asleep. Now, let me tell you what's going to happen. In a little while when I grow bored of this I'm going to smash you over the head with something - quite probably that rock over there - and then I'm going to call Herveaux to come and fetch your unconscious self off of my lawn the same way I disposed of Damon when he came looking for a spanking. How does that sound, Champ? Hmm?" Klaus threw Tyler off of him and brushed himself off.
