On the reserve in scorched and on recent canon developments

[themoralone]

I'm surprised your impulsiveness hasn't gotten you into an...undesirable situation yet.

[ A pause, a sigh. ]

This isn't a good idea. Take my word of advice for it: leave me be. I have enough complications to be concerned about without these insistent interventions.

And no. I do not wish to comment on any of the occurred events. Although I'm sure you'll find out in due time.

Comments

[ Elijah nods once, in a few smooth strides getting closer to her.

You, Elena, surprisingly or not, did have his respect also. Your own loyalty is commendable. Although your deception, you could say, led in turn to his brash actions. ] Mm. You would make the same choice. Essentially, you have.

[ It seemed almost nicely ironic to him. She deceived, he in turn betrayed her trust. This time, Elijah's smirk has dry, with a sense of sarcastic humor as he locked his gaze to her. Yet it wasn't hostile. He would admit, he was pleased to see her admit to her own regrets.] Well, I suppose we are even then.

[ A pause, lifting his eyes up slightly, as if remembering a thought. The look of amusement is subtle, much like many of his other expressions.] But. I am growing increasingly tired of your Salvatore brothers continuously trying to put a dagger through my heart, one way or another. [ A head tilt, musing.] How likely are they to try that at this...Anatole place?

[risks]

[ She's glad to hear it, relieved although she makes every effort not to show just how relieved. This is how she feels too, and this is best, for everyone she loves in Anatole. His smirk, however, unnerves her slightly, although does not frighten her. She does not sense there is hostility, but there is less trust between them now, more faith in their convictions. Where they stand is on equal ground, but they have both learned something about themselves they could tear apart any alliance in the future, if repeated. ]

They can't. [ And she's even relieved about that too. She wants no trouble with Elijah, and she doesn't want Stefan or Damon or anyone to get hurt needlessly: and as far as she can tell, this would be the epitome of needless. ] They won't. [ She'll make sure of that, somehow. ] There's no white oak tree or ash, no dagger here even if they wanted to. Not unless you bring it with you.

[ A pause. ]

Elijah, your family isn't here. Klaus isn't here. [ not yet. hopefully not ever. ] There's no reason we all can't ... live together, or just in peace.

[themoralone]

Mm. [ A nod, as he raised his head. ] I see.

[ Lack of the other Originals meant lack of problems. Ironically, all his betrayals, and endeavors against his brother...really were rooted into the presence of his family. With it not in sight, there would be much less problems to deal with. Surprisingly enough, he found the thought humorous. Family: just as important as it was a nuisance at times. A light, single chuckle, before turning away from his reverie.

He mused at what Elena said, absently chewing on his lip. ] Do not think that I will look for conflict where it isn't necessary, Elena.

[ Basically, he agrees with you... But he also assumes you know he will act accordingly if someone else was to start one.] Moreover, I believe you make a better ally than enemy.
