[Elijah has men renovating the compound in the courtyard. Adela and Thea chipperly walk into the compound after their date]

ADELA: Hi daddy. [She said as she kissed his cheek]

ELIJAH: Good morning sweetheart. [Elijah looked at Thea standing next to Adela]

THEA: I'm Thea

ELIJAH: Elijah. [He said smiling as they shook hands. Elijah was happy Adela was happy that Adela was happy and doing other things than murder]

[Klaus and Genevieve come downstairs to find the source of the noise]

KLAUS: Enough with all the racket!

ADELA: Is there a problem, Uncle Nik? 

ELIJAH: [He turns to the workers] Gentlemen, please.

KLAUS: I agreed to a general sprucing up, not a bloody three-ring circus.

ELIJAH: Marcel and his minions abused our home for the better part of a century. Now, you might be content to live in squalor. I'm not.

GENEVIEVE: I agree with your brother. It's a new era in the French Quarter. This place could use a makeover.

KLAUS: Careful, Elijah. When this one agrees with you, it's a sure sign she wants something.

ADELA: Who's the freaky redhead witch?

GENEVIEVE: Actually I do have a request. I'm told our coven hasn't been able to celebrate feast days in the open since Marcel restricted the use of magic. Now with the new peace, I'd like that to change.

ELIJAH: Am I to assume that you have a certain feast day in mind?

GENEVIEVE: La Fête des Bénédictions. Feast of the Blessings. We'd like to use it as a forum for introducing our young Harvest girls to society.

ADELA: So your coven attempted to destroy my family-- and you yourself held my aunt and uncle in unspeakable torment-- and you would like a party for the witches?

[Klaus chuckles at Adela]

GENEVIEVE: I made my amends with your brother. Why don't you think it over?

[Genevieve leaves]

KLAUS: Oh, don't be such a stiff, Elijah. The tourists love a good festival. Besides, what better way to cement the solidarity than a show of faith toward a one-time enemy?

ELIJAH: A onetime enemy with whom you've grown rather nauseatingly intimate.

KLAUS: Well, who said maintaining alliances can't be fun?

ELIJAH: One would think you'd be a little more interested in attending to the needs of the mother of your child.

KLAUS: So, she's the reason behind this oh-so-thoughtful renovation? Elijah, the truth is, the mother of my child is werewolf royalty. She's far safer in the Bayou with her pack than she would ever be here with us. Don't worry. I'll bring her home before the birth. No child of mine will be born in a swamp.

[Adela laughs and turns to Thea]

ADELA: Do you want to go to La Fête des Bénédictions with me.

THEA: I would love to go to La Feet Da Benidickshawns or whatever it's call with you.

[Adela laughs and smiles]
