"Hello, Elijah," Davina greeted in return accepting his handshake. "It is nice to put a face to your name. I hope your travels went smoothly?"

"They did," Elijah replied. "Thank you for asking. Would you like a drink?"

"A drink sounds lovely," Davina smiled as she walked past the two vampires into the other room.

Elijah turned to his younger brother smirking as he clapped a hand on to Kol's shoulder. "Perhaps Brother, when you are done drooling, you could join us." He teased as earning a glare of the century from Kol walking into the sitting room.

"Shut up," He growled as he followed Elijah into the sitting room where Elijah stood in front of the drink cart.

"What would you like?" Elijah asked turning to the little witch,

"I am not picky," Davina answered as Elijah nodded reaching for a bottle of white wine pouring it into a glass before handing it to her. "Thank you," She nodded before taking a sip from her glass savoring the off-dry liquid on her palate. "Mmmm... Riesling. My favorite."

"Very good," Elijah said sounding impressed. "Everyone knows that Riesling is the best wine."

"I like you already," Davina agreed, taking another sip. "Indeed it is."

"I didn't know you liked wine," Kol said as he accepted a glass from Elijah.

"I do," Davina admitted. "I like a lot of wines. Riesling and Chenin Blanc are a few of my top choices."

"Dinner is ready, Mr. Mikaelson," Paulie said as she stepped into the room.

"Wonderful," Elijah nodded and looked to Kol and Davina. "Shall we?" He held his arm up before following Paulie into the dining room.

Davina began to follow Elijah but felt a hand on her arm which stopped her. She turned to Kol who was watching his brother fully exit the room before turning his eyes to her "You look beautiful, Love." He smiled.

"Thank you," She blushed as she took him in for the first time since coming downstairs. Kol was dressed in a navy blue buttoned down shirt which seemed to mold to his broad chest and shoulder down to his slim waist where it met his dark jeans which hugged his thighs in the way she had come to love. His hair was laying small neat curls as it had grown since the night she had met him.

"I had every intention of introducing you as my girlfriend," Kol said as his smile growing as she turned her blue eyes up to his. "But then, I got a glimpse of you and lost my train of thought."

"Girlfriend huh?" Davina asked tilting her head to the side. "I don't remember you asking me," She said in a teasing tone.

"I haven't?" Kol smirked causing butterflies in her stomach but different from the ones she had before coming down. "Then what do you say about joining me on a proper first date?"

"A first date? Davina questioned her smile growing as she wondered what a first date would be like with Kol Mikaelson. "A first date sounds interesting," Davina nodded. "When?"

"It will happen when you least suspect it, but soon," Kol answered and Davina smirked. "What do you say?"

"I'll have to think about it," Davina said her smirk growing."I will let you know after dinner." She said biting her lip.

Kol chuckled watching as she bit her lip. "You keep doing that and we'll be late." He whispered.

"We will not be late and I can smell whatever it is that is being served for dinner and it smells spicy and it is making me hungry," she said. "If you want my answer...you'll have to behave."
