How she'd found herself in the company of none other than Klaus, she'd never know. What she did know, was that she had to get out of there, and quickly. She knew Klaus was itching to know how she got out of that box he'd stuffed her in, and he would keep her alive until she told him, unless she made the mistake of underestimating him, once again. She wasn't scared of him, that much he did know. He also hated the fact that the only one who could intimidate her was his oldest brother, and she knew this.
They sat for what felt like an hour, staring one another down over the small table between them while the people around them went on with their lunches and coffee dates, oblivious to the two monsters among them. Whether it was because Klaus didn't know how to approach the subject, or if he wanted to see if she would crack under the icy cold stare he'd fixed on her, she didn't know. She was however betting her money on the latter of the two.
"It's an incredible thing, bravery. Here you are, holding my gaze without so much as a flinch, and yet, I'm sure if I were my brother, you'd be squirming in your seat." His features were relaxed, and he was being quite civil to her, she decided to play his game, and with a noncholant shrug, she smiled and took a sip of her coffee.
"So tell me Niklaus, how long were you hoping to keep me dead and gone?" A smirk forced it's way with ease onto his face, and he shrugged.
"Not for nearly as short a time as this." She smirked and he leaned forward, folding his hands on the table as he did. His eyes never leaving her's. "Now tell me this love, how did you get out?" Again she smirked, but all the humor was gone behind his eyes.
"A friend helped me." She tried to sound as bored as possible, but she feared what he might do if he found out who the friend was.
"And how did this friend of yours' find out where you were?" She scoffed at him, causing his glare to intensify.
"You were carting me around for three and a half centuries, my friend is an ally of yours', and was back then. You even trusted my friend with the location of the coffin you put me in." She could see irritation bubbling behind his blue orbs, and she knew he would blow pretty soon. She caught herself wondering if his temper was still as bad as it used to be, and if he chose to turn it down thanks to the pretty blond she'd seen earlier with the witch.
"My siblings were the only ones who knew of your location. They wouldn't turn against me." She shrugged and watched realization settle in his mind. "So, love, which one of my siblings was the one to set you free?" She shrugged, catching a glimpse of the very sibling Klaus was asking about. She stood and said a cold farewell before heading in the direction she'd seen her friend go. Leaving Klaus speechless, and still reeling at the table.
