AN: Reminder that I don't watch the Originals, so I am going to skip the whole Harvest Girl thing.
The next few weeks are full of fixing things. Marcel did a number on the city. Klaus has lost count of how many meetings he had to attend in them. He returned the girl who had been under Marcel's compulsion to report all magic in the Quarter to the witches. The witches form a council to keep order in New Orleans. Klaus gives them a few conditions to follow, nothing as heavy as what Marcel forced on them.
If a witch is trying to kill him, his family or anyone under their protection, he is justified in bringing them before the council or killing them. Depending on how bad the situation is. The other condition is that they will not track him. He does not want trouble with the witches, he wants peace. He grew up being raised by a witch, he reminds them. He respects them rather deeply for what they can do. As long as they don't try to overthrow his family's place over the younger vampires of the city, or end the world, he does not care. If they just live their lives in peace from fighting, and focus on New Orleans, their lives will not only be peaceful, but long.
Then the local werewolf pack cautiously contacts him on the day he has another meeting. Elijah offers to take the meeting with the witches, Klaus can deal with the werewolves.
It's almost a complete waste of time, he says at dinner. They merely wanted his assurance he would not turn them into hybrids. He wants to laugh. Not only is his supply of doppelganger blood extremely limited, but he has no interest in dealing with all of the sire bonds that would result. He wants genuine loyalty. He has very little patience for anything less.
Caroline spends time off and on with Elena, in her head.
Rebekah bets with Kol when Caroline's preoccupied. She has another of his houses, his second favorite car and one of his old swords. Kol has her second favorite pair of earrings and one of her tiaras, however, ensuring she won't sell his things. He just has to win them back.
The last meeting of the fortnight is to take a census of every vampire in the city. Caroline attends it with Kol and Rebekah. Elijah and Klaus have been setting up and working on it for a few hours. Although Rebekah's sure they did other things too, like talk about their baby vamps.
Caroline can't tear her eyes away when Klaus is in charge of the meeting. He looks good, and his accent is more pronounced when he gives a speech. He gives the vampires of New Orleans rules. Not very hard ones, at all. No killing in front of humans, not killing tourists if avoidable. No telling humans of their existence, no killing for food. They are not allowed to start a war with the witches or the werewolves. They all want peace, and he's going to make sure it stays peaceful.
No one has any doubt the hybrid means it.
