Evening

Klaus and Elijah allowed Wes and Aaron to start the dinner clean up. Rebekah was going to take a shower. Finn and Sage had come back from town and were going to watch a movie with the kids in the living room with a newly set up television.
Elijah said, "No more waiting, let's do this."

Klaus paused on the landing, saying, "You know, this is mostly on Stefan. Enzo is not responsible for Stefan's driving, or rather, speeding."

"I concur," Elijah replied, stepping past Klaus. "However, Enzo has been on edge. I don't think he really knows how to behave properly. He was borderline uncooperative during his lesson today. He didn't defy me, per say, but he whined and procrastinated. I used to give Marcel the slipper for much less."

Klaus grimaced, remembering. "Aye, you did. Maybe have Finn deal with him. He's coming into his role as our eldest sibling. You know how they say 'When the gods wish to punish us, they grant our wishes?' I never though he would take his role so utterly seriously..."
Klaus unconsciously rubbed his backside.

Elijah grinned, "Ha, I didn't think the old man had it in him! He mentioned that you two had a nice long talk this morning."

"More him talking and me...hollering. But for all it tis worth, I made amends with my son. He's a good boy, Elijah, and I intend to be a good father this time...," Klaus insisted. "Even though it took me getting a trip over Finn's knees to realize it."

Elijah turned and grabbed Klaus roughly, saying, "You were a good father to Marcellus. What happened in New Orleans was on Father. I still don't know how he got through our defenses...We had that whole city warded and spelled. But do not let me hear you blame yourself or-."

Klaus laughed drying, replying, "Or you will what? Sic Finn on me again? I shalln't mention it again."

Elijah let Klaus go and he straightened his shirt.

"Nay, I would think to deal with you myself, Little Brother. Do not forget that I have looked out for you these many centuries. We had many difficulties and trials, but we overcame them together. As we shall continue to do. Now, let us go and deal with our miscreants. They best be in those corners!"

They had given Enzo a small room off of the hallway from the larger bedroom. It's wasn't as nice as the other rooms, but Elijah had brought down two twin beds from the attic.

Klaus nodded, "I am sure they are listening for us and will scramble in their places at the last moment. Care to catch them off guard? The other children are downstairs."
Elijah smiled and the two Originals vamped to Stefan's bedroom in a blur, catching Stefan lounging in bed and Enzo coming back from the bathroom.

Stefan's mouth made an "o" shape and he stumbled to get off his bed. Enzo froze and muttered, "I was just using the bathroom."

Klaus shut the door. "No matter, it shall just add to your punishments."

Stefan put his hands out in defense, pleading, "Enzo didn't even do anything. I was at fault here."

"You were," Klaus replied. "Go to my bedroom and fetch the spelled hairbrush. It's on the dresser."

Stefan cursed under his breath.
"Something to say, Stefan?" Elijah pressed.

"No, sir," Stefa said, stomping out of the room.
