"The old Fell property actually starts just beyond that fence." Jenna pointed, making Elijah and Seraphina follow her finger.

"Ah, the Fells. One of the 'Founding Families'," Elijah spoke.

"Why do you say it like that?" Jenna inquired, looking at Elijah.

"My research showed me that that this area was actually settled almost two full centuries earlier," Elijah explained. "It was a migration of townsfolk from the northeast, um Salem to be precise," Elijah added.

"Massachusetts? As in the witch trials?" Jenna questioned in disbelief.

"Which means the ever lauded founding families, they didn't actually found anything," Elijah concluded.

"Well, I bet it was the men who made a big deal about being founders in 1860," Jenna said. "Men are very territorial."

"Yes, they are," Seraphina agreed as she watched Alaric walked up.

"Elijah, Sera, this is my friend, Alaric Saltzman," Jenna introduced.

"I got your message about walking Elijah and Sera here through the old property lines, I thought I would tag along," Alaric said. "You know, being a history buff and all," Alaric added, leaving everyone silent. "Where to next?"

"I'm pretty curious about the freed slave property owners," Seraphina chirped. "Some say, you know, the descendants of the slaves are the true keepers of American history."

"Well, I only brought the surveys," Jenna announced. "I got that list in the car, just give me a sec," Jenna added, walking away from the three.

"Alaric Saltzman," Elijah said. "So you're one of those people on Elena's list of loved ones to protect," Elijah stated.

"So is Jenna," Alaric stated.

"You don't have to be jealous," Elijah informed. "I really don't pursue younger women." Elijah smirked.

"It's a joke, Ric, lighten up," Seraphina spoke.

"Right."

"Ah, there's Jenna with her new boyfriend," Damon teased as Elijah and Jenna walked into The Grill. "And my sister," Damon grumbled as he caught sight of Seraphina.

"Your sister?" Alaric questioned. "No one told me you had a sister!"

"Hi!" Damon yelled, calling the three over.

"Hey, guys!" Jenna greeted as she led Elijah and Seraphina to the table.

"So, I hear you four had quite a meeting of historical minds today," Damon said.

"Yeah, I guess you could say that," Jenna mumbled.

"Well, as much as I'd love to continue this — I've got papers to grade," Alaric spoke.

"No, you know what? We should continue this!" The woman that Damon had his arm wrapped around spoke. "Let's have a dinner party!" She suggested.
