Klaus made contact with Elijah once. Said I had to stay for a drink that turned into ten to keep him from doing it again. He's out of France now, or, on his way out.
Never said it had anything to do with that. [ More like he's gotten used to sharing a bed with someone again and in the absence of that other person, he's taken to stealing the pillow. But all of that is a little wordy for text and maybe even admitting aloud in person. ]
Always a catch.
He's exhausted but resting. I think it's mostly to do with the cocktail of sedatives than anything. Best to keep them going for now. He's got to be aware for an actual exorcism.
[ So, if this is the only rest he can get, then it'll have to be good enough. ]
I don't know, the pillow doesn't steal the blankets.
Well then, officially, you can talk me out of your pillow in person soon.
[ He gets what Stefan is saying. He knows it's true. It doesn't make the helpless feeling any easier to deal with. He's used to having some measure of control and this is too far out of his wheelhouse. ]
I'm going to check on him again before you get back, ok? Shouldn't be long and I'll be careful.
( Which is why someone like Stefan and the people he worked for helped step in. The Argents' network is far more vast and inclusive now. Thank Allison's efforts. )
If anything happens, tell me. I'll come straight to Isaac.

With Klaus, this was the easiest catch I've ever seen. There still could be, but it's not our concern. Officially.
He's strong, Chris.
You are, too.

We can call it, negotiating.

To negotiate you have to bring something to the table.
[ Allison has taken this further than Chris ever thought possible, it's more her baby than anything else. He just helps where he's able. ]
I'll tell you. If not, I'll see you when I'm done.

Let's negotiate.
