I think you’d be jealous. [He says with a slight smirk, which falls almost immediately afterward. His expression becomes very serious, eyes hard] I’m afraid not. I wouldn’t joke about Charlotte. [He nearly spits out her name, as it tastes like poison on his tongue now]

Annoyed is the more appropriate word. [she grits her teeth together, straightening up and looking at him with a hard glare] So for one thousand years she was alive and you had no idea? And for some reason she felt it necessary to come here.

Apparently I wasn’t all that important to her even after our years of marriage. [He focuses on his cuffs, unwilling to meet her eyes, trying to remain steely calm] She’s not a vampire. I don’t know what she is, and I no longer care. She’s not my Charlotte, that is clear enough. [His jaw tightens, body stiff] She’s Harriet’s, and I don’t know why they’re still here.

Not a vampire? …shouldn’t be that hard to kill her then. [she says quickly, staring at Elijah. she is intrigued by what her look-a-like could possibly be, but Katherine doesn’t want to take the time to figure it out. since it would be almost impossible to kill Elena without repercussions, Charlotte would have to do] Harriet… and Charlotte? [she rolls her eyes with an amused grin] Elijah, you could so easily take care of them both.

She’s not a vampire, but she has lived an immortal life for all these years. I don’t yet know what that means.

Your confidence in me is appreciated, but I have no real desire to kill them. I simply want out of this drama entirely. It has never really suited me, this life of entanglements and affairs.

Then I’m sure you don’t mind if I take the initiative. Three of us is two too many running around. [she smiles sarcastically, hating the sound of this Charlotte and what she might be. if she wasn’t a vampire, then there would be little she could do to stop Katherine]

[A part of him wants to stop her, but that part has grown too small and bitter. A larger part of him would be satisfied, even triumphant to see Katherine kill the shell of his ex-wife…a part that would probably weigh itself down with guilt after, but what did it matter now?] I don’t mind at all. You have my blessing, in fact.

Good. I’ll make sure to bring you her head on a platter. [she grins maliciously at him before turning and stepping towards the door] I’ll see you then, Elijah.

You can just send me a postcard. [He sighs softly] Goodbye, Katerina. Don't get yourself in too much trouble.

[He breathes out heavily, not wishing to delve into the subject. He knows she means Blair, but he doesn’t need to reminded of his mistake of sleeping with Harriet.] Hardly. She’s much too young.

That’s a relief. [she bites her lip, looking over at him with a smirk] Maybe another Petrova doppleganger will come after Elena, and that will finally be the one. If you wish to keep it in the family. 

I don’t think Elena will be having children, my dear. She’s apparently engaged to a vampire, and you know how that inhibits procreation. [He finishes doing up his tie and tightens it, looking down at the material] Even so, I really do think you girls are dangerous to my health.

Engaged? [straightening up she watches Elijah with genuine surprise, her mind quickly putting the pieces together. the small box Stefan picked up. Katherine can’t help but groan and roll her eyes] How lovely for them. [she quickly looks him up and down] You look healthy enough.

Oh, yes. It’s adorable when humans marry vampires and think everything’s going to be peachy. [He speaks dryly and half rolls his eyes. He raises his eyebrows at Katherine, looking at her with amused sarcasm] I always look healthy, Katerina, I am a vampire.

That should turn into a nasty surprise for them. [she retorts with a smirk, pleased by the idea of a possibly rocky marriage for the two of them. she found it ridiculous they were even getting married in the first place] You know what I meant. [placing both hands on the table she looks at him seriously, shrugging it off] 

Or he’ll turn her. [He shrugs, not really caring what Elena and Stefan do. They’re no longer a concern to him. His smile flattens as he looks upon Katherine’s serious expression] I am fine, Katerina. I wasn’t always. [He sighs and cuts his eyes away] Charlotte came to visit me.

Wouldn’t we all love that, an immortal Elena. [she shakes her head in disgust, ceasing all motion when he speaks about Charlotte. the same one who was supposed to be dead, the original doppleganger] Tell me this is your idea of a joke. [she nods nervously at him, knowing there’s only one way she could still be alive]

[He smiles back easily, a languid and amused expression] So says you, who has received so much power from the lust of men. [He slides a tie off of a nearby display, a brilliant red rope of silk that he smoothly wraps around his neck] Oh Katerina…Katherine. You are a Petrova….

[He narrows his eyes minutely, but there’s no real malice in their depth. Instead he keeps a small smile on his lips, a relaxed posture, his hands comfortably in his pockets] The implication being I fell for your blood instead of who you are? Don’t tell me you believe that too. [He speaks with a soft voice and looks away. He recognizes it’s twisted, loving a woman who looks just like your dead-undead wife who hates you, but he can’t help the face she has] 

One of the reasons you love me then. [she notices his change in posture, although it’s certainly not as violent as she originally expected. stepping closer to him she leans around, attempting to get a view of his face] I struck a nerve, huh.

[He purses his lips gently and turns his head to meet her eyes, a chill in their depths. He’s frustrated, unsure of why she wants to hear it so bad. She has Daniel, wouldn’t she want Elijah to get over her? But of course not] Would you like that, Katerina? 

It’s just nice to know. [she remarks with a soft smile, biting her lip and turning away from him. it isn’t just Elijah in particular she loves to mess with, but he is one of the easiest] I’m sure you’ll find another tramp on your travels soon enough, and you’ll forget all about me. 

[He sighs softly] I hope you’re planning on turning Daniel, Katerina, or eventually you’re going to find yourself very much alone. [He stands up straighter] I doubt I’ll forget about you, but I won’t wait for you either. Petrova is no longer my… flavor, I’m afraid.

[her playful nature instantly dissipates at the mention of turning Dan, something she has thought about of course but also something she’s made a decision on already] If he wants, then I will. [she says softly, wishing to say nothing else on the matter. narrowing her eyes she quirks a brow at him] So what is what your new flavor then? Waldorf? [she asks with a scoff, shaking her head and looking down]

[He breathes out heavily, not wishing to delve into the subject. He knows she means Blair, but he doesn't need to reminded of his mistake of sleeping with Harriet.] Hardly. She's much too young.

[she stops and looks over him, wondering if she’d actually want to hear about this. even if she wasn’t his, Katherine did hold a possessive nature over all the men she once had] Have you? Very wild, Elijah. [she remarks with a smirk, her eyes falling to the ground]

Oh, dozens. [He smirks gently] Well, you know what they say about those who seem very…stuffy. [He winks at her, watching her drop her eyes with interest] I recall when I first met you a kiss on the hand made you blush.

I’m very happy for you. [she nods once in agreement, knowing that what they say is a pretty accurate statement. when it came to Elijah at least. looking up, she’s quick to retort] I was a young girl then, five hundred years have changed me. [placing her hands on her hips she holds her head high] It’ll take a little more than that to make me blush now.

[He laughs a bit skeptically] Are you now? You look more like you’re displeased with me. [He smiles and dips his head in acknowledgment of her words] They certainly have. [He takes one step forward and stops, a twinkle in his eyes as he meets hers] An entire army of men couldn’t make you blush, Katerina. Even if you had a working heart.

I’m just wondering who these girls are. Must have been special to catch your eyes. [she stares at him pointedly, biting her lip and grinning in response] Ouch, Elijah. That actually hurt a little. 

A few, sure. Sometimes you just get…bored. Emotional. Reckless. [He lets out a breath, resisting the urge to roll his eyes. He doesn’t want to think of Harriet, because thinking of Harriet leads him to Charlotte, and that is an emotional loop he wants to leave behind. So he smiles at Katherine, light and playful] Oh, Katerina, you know I mean no offense. 

Aroused. [she finishes for him with a playful grin] Of course you didn’t. [she rolls her eyes, knowing that Elijah meant a little harm. because he knew she could take it]

Ah, yes, it’s a weakness I can’t seem to get rid of. Like so many others. [He sighs softly, but in good nature, and smiles at her] I know you won’t take my words too seriously. You know no vampire has a truly functional heart, literal and not.

It’s definitely not a weakness. [she shakes her head with a familiar grin, drumming her fingers on the table top as she looks up at him with a glint in her eye] Especially not me. I’m still as cold as ice, don’t you think? [quirks a brow at him in question]

[He slides a tie off of a nearby display, a brilliant red rope of silk that he smoothly wraps around his neck] Oh Katerina...Katherine. You are a Petrova. You burn hot as a forest fire.

Yes, actually. [He grins smoothly and walks back to the display table, picking up a pair of silver cufflinks. He pins them into place while watching her from the corner of his eye] I find putting it all together very satisfying. Maybe it’s all those years of terrible fashion I had to suffer through, but there’s something refreshing about a simple, well-tailored suit.

[she shakes her head in disbelief, looking at him with wide eyes for a moment before laughing softly] I have no words for that. Maybe I should leave you and the suit alone. [nods slowly as she moves towards the door]

I assure you, my affection for the clothing does not go that far. I have even sacrificed suits to that particular pleasure, as you well know. [He half-rolls his eyes, thinking bitterly of the particularly good suit jacket he’d ruined that night at Victrola]

[she stops and looks over him, wondering if she’d actually want to hear about this. even if she wasn’t his, Katherine did hold a possessive nature over all the men she once had] Have you? Very wild, Elijah. [she remarks with a smirk, her eyes falling to the ground]
