Rhea wasn't too sure how to decipher the mood that filled the atmosphere around her. She would describe it as tense yet peaceful, but she's been on edge ever since Elijah woke up because she's just waiting any second now for things to erupt around her between the two brothers; whom were contently sitting opposite from one another in the living room as each of them read their own book.Rhea was sat on Elijah's lap, as if she was playing a barrier between them, reading the same book he was and smiling every now and again when Elijah pressed a kiss to her shoulder where her desiccation once was, as if it would heal the already healed wound. The bond was hurting, and therefore hurting her, while he was daggered and felt guilty because of it. He wanted to make her feel better even though Rhea was adamant that there was nothing he could've done to prevent Klaus from doing what he did, and it wasn't his fault. She was just glad he was back.
Klaus was reading 'A Poison Tree' by William Blake, and Elijah was reading one of his mother's grimoires while a dead girl lays on the coffee table, her neck bleeding from puncture wounds in her neck, while they listen to classical music. Despite the horrific sight of the dead girl, the room was quite calming; at least until Rebekah entered the room with a look of disdain, "So, this is what you do the first time we're back together as a family? Vampire book club?" She snapped.
Klaus only continued reading, not looking up at her as he says, "Reading edifies the mind, sister. Isn't that right, Elijah?"
"Yes, that's quite right, Niklaus." Elijah says as he flipped the page.
This is what Rhea means by the tense yet peaceful atmosphere. She would almost prefer the fighting to having to read between the lines at their psychological attacks.
"And what's this business?" Rebekah gestures to the dead girl on the table.
"This is a..." Elijah gestured as though he's searching for a word, "...peace offering."
Klaus sighed, "I presumed, after so much time desiccating in a coffin, that my big brother might be a bit peckish."
Elijah grew annoyed almost instantly as if he realised that his brother hasn't listened to a thing he's said previously, "And I explained to my little brother that forgiveness cannot be bought. I'd simply prefer to see a change in behavior that indicates contrition and personal growth." Klaus rolled his eyes guiltily and Elijah gestures to the girl on the table, "Not this nonsense."
Klaus grinned, "Well, I couldn't very well let her go to waste, could I?"
Rhea can feel how tense Elijah was and she leaned down into her soulmate's ear to ease the tension as she murmurs, "She was tasty. You have to admit." He only sends her a pointed look in response, but, he was less tense from her distraction.
