I liked Elijah too but that was before the originals when his character was not OOC and when they didn't completely destroy it.
Talia had a lot to do today and she knew it with the covens and vampires on the brink of war and helping her angel BFF or well should she just call him her guardian angel? Okay lets go with that her guardian angel Castiel not being able to visit as frequently for her safety because he was fighting a war against his brother in heaven. She had a lot on her plate, currently being trying to sabotage the harvest ritual.
You see Talia was a traditional witch meaning she relied on her own powers instead of those of her deceased ancestors, unlike every damn coven around here who's ancestral magic was their lifes blood, she never understood how the witches so corrupt now that they only cared about power instead of the reason they were here in the first place to protect the innocent to restore balance and light to nature? Maybe this was why she and Castiel got along so well they both had messed up "families."
She'd met Castiel when he was stationed with his garrison to observe humanity, however apparently she had caught his interest when she fought and ditched her coven because they berated and "punished" her for using traditional magic the punishment came in when she berated them back for turning their backs on nature and the natural order they were supposed to be keeping, Castiel admired her courage and watched over her ever since however they only officially met when he saved her from Marcels vampire squad…
