'Give Me Love'
Ziva moved through the crowd of guests gathered in the Mikaelson mansion for the ball, keeping an eye on everyone for anything suspicious. Anything that would lead to a clue they had something to do with or knowledge of the murders that was the reason the Israeli and the rest of her team were here in the first place.
She hadn't seen any of her fellow teammates since they arrived at the ball, nor the person they were suspected was the murderer- one of the youngest Mikaelson's, someone named Klaus. So here she was, floating through the sea of people talking idly about trivial things, quite bored.
The federal agent could've sworn, as she continued making her way through the crowd, that someone was watching her, but every time she turned her head to see who it was, there was no one.
-Ziva/Klaus-Ziva/Klaus-
Klaus had been doing his best to discreetly follow a certain dark haired, exotic looking beauty as she made her way through the mansion. He didn't know much about her- just that she was part of the group of federal agents sniffing around the recent murders and was strong both physically and emotionally. The latter two were things he had to admire quite a bit; she was not easy to manipulate or break by the looks of things.
The fact she was very beautiful- especially in the dark blue dress she was wearing- helped things immensely. He knew she could tell he was staring at her by the way she turned her head to scan the crowd.
Eventually, the hybrid decided to quit his staring from a distance and make his presence known to her. He really wanted to put a name to the face of the first woman to really catch his eye in years.
"Hello." He said in his most charming voice, smirking slightly when she turned around, startled. "I don't think we've met; I'm Klaus Mikaelson." He continued taking her hand and kissing the back of it for added effect, something he hadn't done since he was human.
Judging by the expression he briefly saw on her face, she wasn't expecting that. Probably thinks chivalry is dead- and she wouldn't be far off. He mused.
"Ziva David." She replied.
He smiled genuinely this time; finally he could put a name with her face. He found himself testing her name; it rolled off his tongue easily, much like Tatia did, if not smoother.
"It's a pleasure to meet you. How are you liking the ball so far?" He asked, trying to make small talk.
Ziva paused for a bit, as if thinking about how to reply. "It has been fun; it is very elaborate." She finally said.
Klaus opened his mouth to ask her more, but just then, to his annoyance, Elijah chose that moment to come up and ruin the moment. He knew his brother was keeping an eye on him like he had been doing to Ziva to make sure he didn't do anything stupid, and this just proved it.
"Klaus, can I speak to you for a moment? Alone." Elijah asked politely, but Klaus knew what he really meant. Biding Ziva a goodbye, he reluctantly let his brother lead him away.

Ziva continued her absentminded scanning, but she found herself half thinking about Klaus. He had certainly been… charming, and didn't seem as sadistic as the profile made him out to be. But it could be an act- remember that. She told herself.
She must have been very caught up in her thoughts because she missed the sound of glass being tapped and the announcement that a dance was going to begin until Klaus reappeared once again next to her.
"Would you like to dance?" He asked, holding an arm out for her loop hers through.
What the hell? You may be able to find out more about him. She told herself, looping her arm through his and letting him lead her out onto the dance floor with the other couples. She only recognized Tony, who was dancing with a fairly young brunette girl.
The music started, and Ziva found herself forgetting everything as they waltzed. Klaus was the one who did most of it; she had never really learned how to properly do it before. But she didn't mind, he was very good at it.
She got a good look at him for the first time; curly blonde hair, blue eyes… quite handsome, she would admit.
As they danced, she found herself wishing somehow they would find out someone else was the prime suspect and not Klaus. She didn't put much hope in that though, and focused on enjoying this dance tonight.
