Elijah spends the next hour arranging things, it will be easier to catch a flight that night than to drive for several hours to get to Mystic Falls. He schedules a meeting for a nurse for Elena, and hires her, and has another drink before he packs.
"Do you even know if you will be able to communicate with her? We could just kill the Bennett witch." Klaus offers.
"Niklaus, I will not cause another death in that family. Also, I find it unlikely that you would try to do so as Caroline will be here with Elena for the next few decades. I assume you'll want to be on speaking terms for the duration of Elena's coma." Elijah says as he checks his watch. His brother rolls his eyes.
"When are you leaving?" Klaus asks.
"An hour and ten minutes." He says, and his brother looks thoughtful.
"I'll see if I can find where Kol is. Knowing him, he's with some of those witches." Klaus makes an irritated noise.
"An alliance with the witches of this city would not be a bad idea and you know this. Kol extending an olive branch is model behavior for once." His older brother points out.
"I'm sure that's not the only thing he's extending." Klaus mutters and Elijah closes his eyes.
"I do not want to think of that. Please refrain from doing that in the future." He says, and Klaus lets out a small laugh.
To think he wanted his family together and alive for centuries-he wants to tell his younger self to enjoy the silence and peace. He has none here. But as he looks at his younger brother, he can't bring himself to regret it.
