A new revelation [tag lovewhentheyrun, then manof_myword]

[the_realsavior]

Elena had always wanted to go London.   She had always wanted to marvel at the sights, the people and the rich history.  She had wanted to walk the streets, hear the people talk and really get a taste of things by going on the weird touristy things that people did when they went to London.  It was just one of those things she had wanted to do

"Why not answer it, then?" He asked, arching an eyebrow at her. He leaned back in his seat, sipping his tea. It was as good a delay at answering her question as any, he figured. Having her traveling with him had been a bit strange, and taken some getting used to. She didn't like him much, he knew. Had no reason to, which he also knew and accepted. On the other hand, she was generally pleasant company, and wasn't sulking, which was a pleasant change.

Where Elijah was, what he knew...Klaus considered answering, but decided to wait for her, first.

"I'll send him a message later." She replied with another shrug, sipping her coffee again as she continued to watch him. "If I answer right away, he'll try calling." And she wanted to continue avoiding that as much as possible. Because as far as everyone else knew, she was still in the States and not across the world with Klaus.

Now that she had answered, she arched a brow at him, waiting expectantly for him to answer.

Klaus weighed the answer, then nodded slightly, accepting it. He gave his own with a shrug of his own. "Our estate agent said Elijah asked for the London house to be opened up. He wouldn't have done that if he wasn't coming here, and it was a couple of weeks ago, so I assume he's here, yes. He'd left New York, told them he was coming to the UK. That usually means here, with him."

Business concerns, and such. Whatever it was that Elijah did that kept all of them in plenty of funds. Honestly, he'd always found it a bit dull.

Elena nodded slowly as he answered and her eyes flickered down the street towards where Klaus said their home was. A part of her was nervous to see Elijah again after everything that had happened but there was a part of her that was looking forward to it too. She had always been intrigued by Elijah, had always liked him, and now...

"Are you thinking about what you're going to tell him about Rebekah?" She asked a moment later, looking at Klaus again. Funny that she wasn't asking to be a bitch or to be snotty though. She was asking as though genuinely curious and maybe even a bit concerned.

Leaving London had happened a lot later than both Klaus and Elena had planned on but that probably had something to do with the fact that they hadn't gone to sleep till somewhere around dawn when they had finally gotten to the point of sheer exhaustion. Even now Elena was tired as she leaned against the inside of the passenger door of the car Klaus was driving. She had fed earlier before they had left town but she still felt like she could drink more. Perhaps that's what she got for spending an entire night having sex with the hybrid beside her.

She still couldn't believe it had happened but even now she felt a hum in her blood, deep in the pit of her body, as she recalled some of the things they had done. She knew she shouldn't want more but she did. Maybe she really was as insatiable as he had called her earlier.

"How much further?" She asked, glancing over at him.

Klaus was trying very hard to keep his mind on what was coming instead of...well. that was an awkward word choice. He was very aware of Elena next to him--it wasn't like the car was that large, and her scent just filled it, reminding him of all the things he needed to not be thinking about when he had to figure out the best way to convince Elijah to help them.

Granted, Elijah might just do it for Elena, and that thought made him scowl a bit.

When she spoke, she pulled him out of a deep reverie, and he glanced at the scenery, then the clock. "Just another twenty or thirty, maybe. We've made good time." It normally took nearly five hours, but it was only nearing four--he'd been driving fairly fast.

[the_realsavior]

Yes, she couldn't sit there and think about what had happened the night before then they were on their way to see Elijah. Which suddenly felt more awkward now than it had just twelve hours before.

Glancing at the clock, she nodded while tucking some hair back from her face. She wanted to ask what they were going to tell Elijah now, if anything, but she couldn't bring herself to. She just couldn't initiate that kind of talk though she knew it was going to come up if what had happened the night before happened again.

Oh god, why was she thinking about it happening again?

[lovewhentheyrun]

Klaus had absolutely no idea what he was going to do or say when they got to Elijah, let alone about what they'd been doing the night before. Elijah would immediately assume he'd compelled Elena into it, or forced her some other way. And yet....there was that urge to make him acknowledge that, no. Elena had chosen to spend the night with him, in his bed. She hadn't run after the first time.

There was a large part of him that wanted to see Elijah's face when he realized it, after everything.

But he didn't want to start the thing off with a fight, either. That would just make Elijah shut down. He fell silent again, driving faster as the scenery got more rugged. Eventually he turned off down a road that wound down toward the ocean, then along it for a while, before they wove through the village. He pointed out a couple of little things just of vague interest, from what he could remember of the village--Elijah would know better about it--and then drove them back out, up the cliffs. Finally there were gates, and he turned in
