She's bursting with energy from breakfast, he wonders if she has an unfair advantage, since she needs human food to live but he parks anyway, and tells her they'll start once they're both out of the car with their doors closed. She reminds him she'll get her bag after she wins. He rolls his eyes.
As their car doors shut, he counts. One. Two. Three. And he's running, in a suit and shoes not made for running and she's all wild hair and excited eyes and she yells something and he doesn't catch it and they both smack into Kol, who was leaving the house.
"Ow. I did not need to be in a brother and doppelganger collison sandwich today." He complains, as Elijah helps a red Elena get off his brother. He dusts the dirt off his jacket as Elena declares she won.
"You did not win that race." Elijah tells her, matter of factly.
"Yes, I did! Kol, which one of us hit you first?" Elena asks as she walks back to get her bag out of the car.
"I don't know!" She hears him shout.
"I think you two gave me a concussion!" He shouts as she grabs her bag and shuts the door. She doesn't hear Elijah's quiet laughter, but she does roll her eyes.
"Don't you Originals have amazing healing powers?" She teases. She moves the bag strap over her shoulder and helps Kol get out of the grass. She and Elijah walk up the steps, and Kol watches carefully. He heard him the other day, asking Finn what soulmates were supposed to feel like, how did you know, and a bunch of emotional crap he zoned out to. Was there someone other than Elena? Kol wondered as he left. He looks back at his brother opening the door for the girl and shakes his head mentally. No way.
