Post Time Doors - Elijah

[whenyouearnit]

It’s been four days. Four days in that awful, horrible place with the mazes and the strange rhyming creatures. Rebekah hated nearly every moment of it, Jesse making a few moments bearable. Even worse it’s been four days unable to contact her brother, and four days without feeding. The former is worse to her than the latter, and sure that Elijah would have blood in his fridge she heads to his apartment after sending a quick text to say she was coming. It’s unsurprising that the door is unlocked and that he’s pacing restlessly. She nearly throws herself at him, wrapping arms about him and refusing to let go. “I’ve missed you.”

"Witches. Of such little use, aren't they?" It isn't something she would have said once. In fact there was a time she'd wanted to be a witch like her mother, and more times that witches did things that she appreciated greatly. But here they aren't much help, she finds.

"Pretty much only good for grunt work and daylight rings," Elijah says, or, really, grumbles.

Esther's reappearance and his last group of witches' incompetence have soured him a bit.

"I considered seeing if we should take Hayley to see one just to...check things the doctors don't know to, but I'm not sure I want anyone with any power knowing, really, until we do." He makes a face. "Except Ric who, unfortunately, knows. But at least he doesn't seem to have told Damon. I haven't seen Katerina in weeks, and Elena didn't ask anything the one time we ran into her, so..."

He manages both doppelgangers names without a flinch. Look at him. Getting better, or...something.

Possibly just overly focused and protective and possessive of Hayley.

"I wish we could compel him," she says about Alaric, thinking it supremely unfair that there could be someone else who was technically as they were. She avoided thinking of him as an original, to Rebekah he didn't qualify. "They will all find out you know. But I could compel Damon at least, to leave her alone."

"So do I," he says with a sigh. "But...I don't know. Hayley was terrified of him at first. Now it seems like they've been hanging out now and again." He frowns a little, giving her a look at the mention of compelling Damon, but then he nods. "You do it. I don't trust myself to."

So easy, so so easy to just compel him to do other things.

"Fine," she says easily. "It will be a pleasure."

It would be. She enjoys making him dance to her will.

Elijah smiled, amused at the response and brushes a kiss over her temple. "One I envy you, truly."
