"Dearest brethren, your attention please." Klaus called suddenly, echoing through the compound. Klaus came in, his hand gripping Thierry's shoulder.
"No doubt, you're all surprised to see, Thierry Vanture. Who's supposed to be rotting in the garden for the crime of killing one of our own." Klaus said, smiling at Thierry's nervous face, who looked at his friends with relief. "And I personally decided to issue him with a pardon." Klaus said, his hand on his chest genuinely and gesturing to Thierry again. "I hope you'll all welcome home, Thierry." Klaus said to everyone, controlling his grin considerably well. Thierry put his beret on and looked at Diego, grinning. "Welcome home, mate." Klaus called.
Thierry and Diego met in a powerful hug, and clapped eachother's backs.
Klaus traveled over to a chair near Marcel, and licked his lips, remembering Caroline's own on them again. He looked up to Marcel, who was slumped over in his chair, holding a bottle of alcohol.
"You're in a good mood." Marcel noted begrudgingly. Klaus replayed the part where Caroline kissed him first again and he just shrugged and grinned again. "You should visit Mystic Falls more often." Marcel said, taking another drink.
"Well, as much as I might like to I have pressing responsibilities here." Klaus replied, wondering why Marcel was so downtrodden. And still, the image of Caroline's face went through his mind right then and he told the vampires of Marcel's loss, without implying it was Marcel's in particular. Then he sent the vampires off to roust the witches before they lost their power for good, pushing Marcel to join them, although he declined.
Klaus went upstairs, but not before hearing Rebekah's bewilderment at his happy mood, and his siblings wondering why he'd let Thierry go. Rebekah elected herself the one who made it possible no doubt. Simply because she's asked him earlier to free Thierry. Good, let her think she was the one who'd made him want to do something good. But he knew it was Caroline who inspired him to do so. She'd wanted him. And he was going to make himself the man Caroline would be able to spend the rest of eternity with. But for now Caroline's inspiration was a secret he'd keep, thankfully no one could guess at his motivations. It was lucky he'd never spoken about her before, and didn't realize what he was truly doing in Mystic Falls. Not even Marcel knew about her. And it would stay that way.
