Klaus responds and says, "New rules, no bloodshed in the house where my daughter sleeps and plays.... He sniffs the blood and puts the glass down revolted and says, "Perhaps I'll go out for dinner... Elijah puts his hand out and shakes his head and says, "Oh no, no, no!" Klaus sits as he continues, "We don't have any way of knowing whose placing the Hollow's rite hand. It could be any number of decipherers out there!" Klaus nods and says, "Yes, yes, we don't know which has the means to kill us, you know if you hadn't of been so hasty to kill him? We'd be dealing with the devil we know!" Elijah smiles and comments, "Spoken like the Devil ik the best of all!" He starts for the door and Klaus continues and says, "I take it you have a plan?" Elijah smiles and reveals, "Freya will place a boundary spell on the Compound. No one gets in or out!" Klaus laughs and then stands and says, "So were to stay here?" He walks over to him and continues, "While our enemies seek to resurrect this monstrosity! And let me guess? You want me confined here?" Elijah turns to him and says, "I have a little errand to run." Klaus nods and remarks, "While you off cavorting all over in town I'm what? Grounded!" Elijah smiles and says, "Essentially!" Klaus smiles and Elijah suggests, "Why don't you take out your frustration on that filthy jaw that our enemies are so vastly by?" Elijah starts to leave and Klaus says with a smile, "Gladly!" He leaves.

She gasps in shock and smiles and says, "It's an old book of rhymes. There's a lot of weird stuff here." Klaus comments to their surroundings, "You know Faye I rather you not play in here actually. All the splinters and the dust." She says nothing and he says with a smile, "And the bats?" She smiles and retorts, "There are no bats." He smiles and remarks, "I see no evidence that your uncle Elijah sleeps here upside down." She laughs and then asks curious bout Marcel, "Dad, was there a little boy that used to live here?" He looks shocked and then walks over to her and kneels and takes the book and lays it on the chest and says sternly, "Now c'mon sweetheart, we can discuss ancient history another time?" He stands and puts his hand out and she grabs a toy and then clasps his hand and they leave the room.
