Maeve sauntered inside the boarding house humming to Dean Martin. Her eyes roved around the empty space searching for either of the Salvatore's. "Yoo-hu! Anybody home?"

"It's not nice to leave a naked woman so early in the morning." Maeve whipped her head around to see Rose standing in the hallway covered in only a towel. Maeve looked away immediately with a wide open mouth. "I knew it was dangerous to come early morning." grimaced Maeve.

"Sorry." Rose apologised tightening the towel around her.

"No. I am. I should've known better." Maeve turned to look at Rose again. Before she could speak more, Elena walked into the room. "Elena."

"Hey Maeve."

"I'll change and come quickly." rose told him and quickly exited. Maeve crossed her arms and turned to Elena who remained indifferent standing beside her.

"What are you doing here?" Maeve asked Elena who rolled her eyes in response, "I could ask you the same thing." shot back Elena.

"Sweetheart, you have a history of doing stupid things. What do you plan on doing today?"

Elena sighed pointing to the couch in the room. Both of them settled on the couch facing each other. "I need to find more about Klaus. Rose's friend Slater can help me."

"So you want to reach out to him?" Maeve noticed Elena hesitate in responding confirming her suspicion that Elena was indeed hiding something.

"I just want to find out more about the man, Maeve. It's not wrong."

"When did I say it was?" Maeve asked incredulously earning a scowling look from Elena.

"You scowl a lot. You might freeze your face to it." Maeve joked before clearing her throat.

Maeve watched Elena carefully with a blank stare as she relayed her idea of going to Richmond to find out more about Klaus.

"It's a bad idea." Rose commented as soon as Elena finished her bit.

"I agree. You are absolutely off track with this idea." Maeve firmly stated sitting up straight.

"No one asked you!" exclaimed Elena rudely dismissing Maeve. Elena glanced back at Rose, "What if I told you I could get you a daylight ring?" she asked hoping the bribe would do the work of convincing Rose.

"I've been a slave to the shadows for five hundred years, what do you think?" Rose replied.

"Take us to Richmond and I can get you a daylight ring." Maeve stared in disbelief at Elena before she scoffed angrily, "when did I become a part of this plan?"

"Maeve, don't you want to know more about Klaus? He will come after all of us." Elena tried reasoning with her. "Either come with me or stay here."

"And what? You know I'll tell the Salvatore about this." Elena shook her head frantically, "please Maeve. You can't do it."

Maeve thought for a minute before she let out a defeated breath, "I'll come. Somebody needs to be the dragon for the princess." Maeve grumbled with a pout of her lower lip. She glanced at Rose who rolled her lips into a thin line hiding a smirk.
