Even Eve had to admit, she understood why her father had been so drawn to Caroline. She didn’t care who you were, she spoke to you as if you were her equal. Nothing more, nothing less. It would be refreshing, if Eve wasn’t used to being treated by a normal person. While it irked her that this girl was talking to her in that way, she allowed it. After all, Eve was nothing if not diplomatic. Or at least she liked to believe so. After all, her being diplomatic like her Uncle Elijah was the reason that Caroline was still standing in front of her saying rather pointed words and her heart wasn’t sitting in Eve’s palm. A brief moment passed when she thought of how her father would react if she killed Caroline. It wouldn’t be hard, or take too much effort to just shove her through something that would kill her. But she wouldn’t do that. Not only because she didn’t want to explain to her father why she killed the blonde, but she also really didn’t want to have to clean up the mess she would surely create. Both physical mess and metaphorical mess. None the less, the power that Caroline radiated was palpable, and something that Eve would keep in mind if the time would ever come that she’d have to go against the slightly older woman.
The young woman was about to say something in response, but she decided against it. It wasn’t really worth the argument. She could be upstairs with her hybrids having fun and catching up. Not all of them knew everything that was going on and they all (even Eve) needed an update on all of their lives. The faster she got rid of Caroline, the faster she can go back to Mason’s story of the latest desperado who payed for his services. But instead she was dealing with one of her fairy tale characters coming to life and she wasn’t acting the way she was supposed to. As a Mikaelson, she definitely didn’t like when things didn’t go her way, but unlike some of her family, she didn’t throw a temper tantrum about it… Not as frequently as they were infamous to do, at least.
The crashing glass of the tumbler in the trash can reverberated and instantly, her eyes darted to the balcony that overlooked where she and Caroline stood to find Nico. He was ready to fling himself over the barrier and rip Caroline’s throat out. Only if Eve said so, of course. It was a quick and silent 'stay' with her eyes that got Nico to back off before she turned back to the vampire before her. No matter how many times Eve tried to help those that she’d heard so many stories about, it would always be construed as a threat or simply something that it wasn’t, all because of who she came from. It hurt, of course, but there was nothing she could do about it except keep trying until she gave up on them, which truthfully, it was getting close to that point. For the briefest of moments, she saw Caroline actually consider her words. Everyone from Mystic Falls thought that they knew her father, but they didn’t. Eve knew her father and she knew what he was capable of and what he would or wouldn’t do. Eve could beg as much as she wanted, but if Stefan, Caroline, or Damon broke a rule, they’d be finished.
The youngest Mikaelson shifted in her spot and pursed her lips for the briefest of moments. “I will never deny that fact, nor will I ever wish it were untrue. Just remember one thing, Caroline. I’m trying to help you. I’m trying to help all of you, because I do care about you… In my own way.” It was strangely one of the most true statements she’d ever made. Those from Mystic Falls were her childhood favorites. She grew up learning about them and learning who they were. Seeing them be killed before her eyes was the last thing she wanted. “I’ll give my father the lists,” she finally said after a long silence. “And I do hope that the deal you made was worth it.” Eve downed the rest of her drink before going towards the stairs again. She was halfway up before turning back to Caroline. Her entire body slumped against the banister to suggest that there shouldn’t be any tension between them. “Do you want to meet them?”
