"Ugh, O-positive," Elijah remarked with a mocking look of distaste as he entered Klaus' study, finding the hybrid feeding from a blood bag, "you heathen." Klaus rolled his eyes in response, discarding the now empty blood bag into the bin beside him. "New rules," the hybrid announced as he walked from behind his desk towards Elijah, "no blood shed in the house where my children sleep and play."

"Perhaps I'll go out for dinner," Klaus mused causing Elijah to shake his head adamantly in denial. "Oh, no, no, no, no," the original denied firmly, "we have no way to know who will take Dominic's place as the Hollow's right hand. There could be any number of disciples out there," the vampire fretted, earning an eye roll from Klaus in response.

"Yes, yes, yes," Klaus mocked his brother, "all who may have the means to kill us," the hybrid reminded. "You know, if you hadn't been so hasty to kill him, we'd be dealing with the devil we know," Klaus remarked, shooting his brother a pointed look causing Elijah to sigh in response. "Spoken by the devil I know best of all," the elder Mikaelson retorted with a smile, earning a soft chuckle from Klaus in response.

"I take it you have a plan," the hybrid deduced, eyeing his brother who nodded in affirmation. "Freya will place a barrier spell on the compound," Elijah revealed, "no one gets in or out," the vampire revealed earning a dubious look from Klaus in response. "Oh, so we're to stay here while our enemies seek to resurrect this monstrosity," the hybrid retorted in annoyance, a look of impatience on his face.

"And let me guess, you won't be confined here," Klaus concluded, noticing the way Elijah shifted. "I have a little errand to run," the elder Mikaelson responded, earning a scoff from Klaus in response. "And while you're off cavorting all over town, I'm what? Grounded?" the hybrid remarked sarcastically with a bitter scoff, a frustrated expression on his face as he narrowed his eyes slightly at his brother.

"Essentially," Elijah replied calmly with a shrug, unbothered by Klaus' clear frustration with the plan he had concocted. "Why don't you take out your frustration on that filthy jawbone our enemy seems so fascinated by?" the elder Mikaelson proposed, gesturing towards the bone that laid on Klaus' desk. Klaus rolled his eyes in annoyance, "gladly."

"'A man of words and not of deeds, is like a garden full of weeds. And when the weeds begin to crawl, like a bird upon the wall. And when the bird away does fly, it's like an eagle in the sky'," Hope read aloud from the book in her lap as Kaiden sat next to her. "'And when the sky begins to roar, it's like a lion at the door. And when the door begins to crack'..." the elder twin continued before Kaiden cut her off.
