Maison Bourbon/The Bayou
At the MAISON BOURBON CLUB, night has fallen, and the bar is packed with patrons who are drinking heavily and dancing to the loud music playing from the stereo. On the bar is Freya, along with several other women, who are dancing and laughing and having a good time. Freya quickly drinks a shot of alcohol and only stops dancing when her phone rings. It's Elijah, calling from THE BAYOU as he waits with Hope. With great reluctance Freya answers the phone, plugging her free ear with her hand so she can hear him over the music.
"What is it, Elijah?" Freya answers the phone, with loud music in the background.
"Did I misinterpret the kind of exhibition you're attending?" Elijah answers amused.
"I switched venues! Didn't you say that you wanted to spend some time with Hope, I figure I take the night off," Freya said.
"Forgive me. I need you to watch hope, I have an important errand I need to run," Elijah said.
Freya stops dancing to the music, "How ominous, pray tell me, what errand is more important than taking care of our niece," Freya says masking her disappointment.
"A necessary evil," Elijah said sighing, "One I would rather my niece not bear witness."
"Alright fair enough. Give me a minute, I have an idea," Freya said, ending the call and then getting ready to leave ROUSSEAU's. Meanwhile, at THE BAYOU, Elijah looks around to make sure no one bad is in the area

St. James Infirmary
The art show is over and the club is empty, save for Klaus, who is angrily drinking a glass of wine as he stares at the painting he made in, with Kol standing next to him. After a moment, Lucien approaches them.
"Your pretty friend seems to have fouled your mood," Lucien said, causing Klaus to chug the rest of his wine. "Why don't we go out? Paint the town... red, et cetera, et cetera." Lucien offers.
Klaus finally finishes off his wine before turning to Lucien, looking aggravated and slightly overwhelmed, which seems to frighten him a bit. "Lucien-- what are you really doing in my city?" Klaus growls out, causing Kol to hold a laugh.
Lucien looks momentarily embarrassed to be called out by Klaus, and he hesitates before speaking. "News has spread, old friend. Every vampire in the world knows you've been attacked. A number of times, nearly killed."
"Oh, well, I can assure you that all those who stood against me ended up either desiccated, dust, or dinner." Klaus, rolling his eyes and snarks back sarcastically, clearly unhappy to hear someone say this.
"Of course. You and your siblings are mighty, indeed. Though, the attacks on you show that you are not completely invulnerable. While you've wallowed in your family affairs, your progeny have grown somewhat... restless. The world is a finite place, territory limited. And even ancient vampires are not above vicious turf-wars. What if I told you there's a growing conflict between the remaining three sirelines?" Lucien says nervously. Causing Klaus angry rising he beings to reply but gets cut off by Lucien. "Suppose one of them wanted to annihilate the other? By killing Elijah? Rebekah? You?"
"So, you came all this way to deliver a warning?" Klaus says skeptically, while Kol stands up straighter more interested in the conversation.
"Think about it! Kill an Original, wipe out an entire line of competition! A tempting goal, made more so by the fact that your family is divided and thus weaker than you have ever been!" Lucien says.
