[She shrugs.]
Mostly a lot of small town stares. Coming from one, I know how people tend to treat the new girl.

I don't know witches.
( He couldn't tell you. And you're welcome. )
What comes next?

I thought -- they're vampires.
( Except, Klaus. But, that's implied, right? Her research had not proven well. Then again, that means Freya did her job. )

I meant, back in DC. At the impeccably dressed apartment you must have.
( But, he'll let her stay mysterious. )
This town's not really the 'stare the new people' down, town. They're very much into their own lives. Their history. We have an event, like, every weekend.

Oh. I don't live in DC. What was waiting for me there was a friend's couch until I caught my flight back to Boston tomorrow.
[She wasn't trying to be mysterious. She just misunderstood the question.]
That frequently? Sounds like people get bored pretty easily around here.

They are. My end of things is more long and complicated, but I wasn't turned with my siblings, so I remained a witch.
[If she really wants the much longer story, Freya will tell her, but as she said. Complicated.]

( His mouth forms a small 'o.' Boston. Tea parties. Red Sox. Boston's not a place he goes often. )
No, they love their town's history. It's not out of boredom, it's out of tradition.

Hm.
( Really. Interesting. )
A witch from your line would be -- you've descended from great power.

Where is HQ. And -- what is HQ. How did you get into ... this.
Ahhh, that first one is a need-to-know kind of question.
[He's not saying it to be mean, he's just saying he's not going to disclose more than he has to.]
But as for how I got into it ... my dad did it for a long time. Not the relocating, that came later. But you would be surprised what a lucrative industry fake IDs are for vampires.
[Because when you live forever, occasionally you need to reinvent yourselves.]
But when things started to get bad with Monroe, it turned into more than just vampires. Werewolves and witches and other creatures started needing to disappear too.

Especially the first born witches, which I am.
[Hence why she's the brightest light in the city.]
What do you need from me, exactly?

Is that better or worse?

( Yeah, okay about that. )
You're supernatural Witsec.

That's where you come in. I work with an organization, one that's international. It focuses on relocation. When we aren't able to cut the snake off at the head, we move. Literally. It's not you, or the regent, it's every witch and werewolf in New Orleans - that's in danger.
It's -- quaint.
( He points to himself with his drink. )
I'm a founding family member. It's in my blood.

Well, isn't that prestigious.
[It's more curious than teasing, but there's still a little bit of teasing.]
I didn't realize I was sitting here with Mystic Falls royalty.

So you want to relocate them all?
[That is an undertaking that's ... not going to fly. The people of New Orleans don't roll over and run. The streets will run red with blood and the city will burn before they do.
And even if they weren't, she wouldn't be able to make that call for all of them.]
I can't make this decision. As powerful as I am, I'm not one of the faction leaders. You'll have to take this pitch to them.

One of. We don't treat non-royalty differently. But, we do get roped into historical preservation. Our historical society dwindled for a few years there because we appointed other council members. I'm more a figurehead than anything now.
( Caroline heads up the historical society. )

How did you find McCall's pack?
( How did they intersect? He doesn't mind intersecting. Their paths have crossed. He just wants to try and draw a line. If Scott has these kinds of connections, you'd think Jackson would be in the know.
No, except, Jackson asks to not be included and says at every turn that he is not pack.
Never mind.
He still wants to know. )

Faction leaders? How many faction leaders are there in New Orleans?
Alan Deaton. He and my dad go way back. He told us about Monroe and what she's been up to and we offered our services.
[Teamwork makes the dream work, and they not only had the network to get out the word to a lot of supernatural folks, they had the resources to get people moving.]

Three. The Regent of the witches, the Alpha of the Bayou wolves, and the leader of the vampires.
[And then there's the Mikaelson family, who tends to sit apart from all of them, even though they intersect with all three, but Freya can represent their interests well enough.]

So you get to show up at parties and be important, but not do any of the heavy lifting.
[She smirks.]
I suppose I can respect that, as long as the parties are worth going to.
