Kriss had to move out of her downtown loft. There was this aching suspicion inside of her about the owner. She packed up her things and moved a few buildings down in the same neighborhood. She compelled the landlord into lowering the rent but she agreed to pay it. Her nerves were through the roof. Finn's brother was coming to town and that scared her. Finn scared her too, but for different reasons. So badly she wanted what had always escaped her back home, romance. It seemed to her like it had escaped Finn too. Except for this Sage woman he rarely mentioned.

Kriss enjoyed working at the bar and almost every working night, Finn would sit there through her shift. They spoke about Elijah and how to not get on his bad side. Finn also decided he would play along. He found a European style villa with eight bedrooms that he thought his style and knew his family would enjoy. Kriss' jaw dropped as he walked her through. "Can I live here?" she asked breathlessly, looking at the kitchen.

"I thought you enjoyed downtown?"

"I do. It's just...This place is amazing," she ran her hands on the spines of the books, "How did you do this all so fast?"

"Lots of money and lots of compulsion. It is what my siblings will require. Although I still need to find a living person to sign the deed. Keeps the uninvited out. He'll be here within the next two days so no magic anymore until I know he is gone."

"I heard you the first six hundred times, Finn," Kriss told him and walked over really close. In her heels, she was taller than him by a couple of inches, "If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were worried. I have to go to work. No magic. I promise. Just vampire powers." She wrapped her arms around his waist but Finn moved them off. "I'm tired of the hot and cold, Finn." He pulled her close and kissed her temple.

"Go to work, Krissette. I'll call you if he shows tonight," Finn said and Kriss nodded before vamping away.

Elijah showed up the next night. He told Finn to text him the home address and Finn waited in the foyer with two bourbons. "Brother," he greeted Elijah. His younger brother took the drink and downed it in one.

"Nice place. Very you," he said looking around.

"Yes, well when I bought it, I had to remove this thing called a pool table? And there were far too many of those screens." They walked through the house slowly, saying nothing and studying each other. The two brothers ended up in the basement near the blood fridge.

"We should get Freya to do a few protection spells," Elijah said but Finn shook his head quickly.

"I can take care of myself," Finn snapped.

"What do you spend your time doing? Besides killing vampires?"

"I've stopped killing the city vamps. I just wanted to cull the population."

"And now that you've succeeded, how do you plan on spending your time?"

"I've found some good bars that don't play the horrible music of today," Finn said and Elijah looked at him in surprise.

"Let's go," he said and went towards the door.

Finn took him to Kriss' bar willingly. She was working and tried hard not to notice them too much when they came in. Kriss looked up at him and nodded, trying to contain her smile. Finn did his best to calm his heart and contain his feelings as well. Elijah walked to the only table that was free, Finn's usual table as he headed to the bar to grab them both a drink. "Two of the usual," he told Kriss and she nodded.
