Victoria was sitting in the bathtub, taking a bubble bath, and klaus was sitting on the floor not far away as they heard footsteps come towards the bathroom. He walked in to see Victoria taking a bubble bath with a body propped up against the wall next to the tub.
"Come to check up on me?" Victoria asked, not even looking at Elijah.
"You've had an eventful evening."
Victoria smiled at him, "I was having a very shitty day, so Klaus took me out to the Cauldron. Wouldn't you know, we ran into some witches!"
"So, would you like me to remove your leftovers?" Elijah asked sarcastically.
Victoria laughed, "That would be so nice of you Lijah. You're such a good friend."
Elijah turned to his brother, "You took her on a witch hunt?"
Klaus shook his head, "I simply wanted to persuade those witches to locate th white oak stake for me. They refused to cooperate, so I allowed Vitcoria to take matters into her own hands."
Elijah stepped over the body and into the bathroom, and Victoria rolled her eyes before standing up in the tub, naked and covered in bubbles. Elijah, unamused, reaches for a towel and hands it to Victoria, though he doesn't avert his eyes.
Victoria glanced at Klaus before looking back at Elijah and holding his stare, "Oh, don't judge, Elijah! What I did is no worse than anything Klaus has ever done. And it cant be any worse than what you've wracked up over your thousand year life."
Elijah sighed, "I would hope that you would hold yourself to a higher standard than Niklaus."
Victoria rolled her eyes, "I'm a hybrid now, and I have a werewolf temper to go with my new appetite. You act like either of us aren't similar to him. We did, after all, made two children together, and clearly we had something in common other than being horny that caused us to make them, which took all night long by the way. And, the witches who tried to kill my babies are worth nothing more than food and will never be more than the dirt underneath my feet. Excuse me." VIctoria scoots past Elijah and returns to her room to change.
Once Victoria was gone, Klaus looked at his brother, "Perhaps the problem is your high standards? Victoria is one of us now. Being a vampire only exaggerates what you truly are, and wolves are wild things. I would know, she was wild the night we made the twins. She knows she can never live up to the pretty little picture you paint of her in your head. Your judgment only hurts her more."
"I am trying to help her, and I asked you to help her, brother."
Klaus angrily rose to his feet, "I am helping! You should have seen her last night! Covered in witches' blood and smiling from ear to ear! She is embracing this. A little less criticism from you, and Victoria will be just fine."
"Niklaus! The mother of your child deserves much better than just fine!" The two glared at each other. "You'll take her to the Bayou. Find any remaining wolves. Find Hayley and perhaps her people can reach her. Now, more than ever, she needs a connection to something, some of her humanity. Some degree of dignity."
