[mousquetaire]

I was guarding! How didn't you see me guarding? It was all very official.

Where were you?

[increscents]

I was not standing around like a dork and was off having fun.

[mousquetaire]

Excuse me, Mademoiselle, but some of us saw fit to do our duty.

And I had plenty of fun. We won, remember?

[increscents]

Yeah, so I heard.

You remind me of someone with all your "honor" and "duty" talk. He was pretty annoying too.

[mousquetaire]

Really? He sounds like an upstanding gentleman to me.

Handsome, too. You should be nice to him.

[increscents]

You don't even know who I'm talking about.

Unless you're just calling yourself handsome. In which case that's pretty vain.

[mousquetaire]

I don't hear you correcting me.

Tell me, then. Who is he?

[increscents]

I didn't say you were wrong.

His name was Elijah. Hope's uncle on her dad's side.

[mousquetaire]

Ah.

So not her father, then. Was he a soldier?

[increscents]

No.

Or I don't know. Maybe at some point. Probably not, though.

He was a vampire. And he put family above everything else. He took care of Hayley's dad through the centuries. And trust me, Klaus did not make that easy.

[mousquetaire]

A vampire.

So, werewolves and vampires, and you all just get along perfectly? That's among the more fascinating families I've ever heard of.

But he sounds kind. You must have been fond of him.

[increscents]

Perfect's not really the word I'd use for it. But we made it work. Mostly because of Hope. Plus Klaus is half werewolf too, so.

I was in love with him, actually. Still probably am. But Klaus being Klaus made sure that would never happen. And Elijah being Elijah just did what Klaus told him.

[mousquetaire]

You're in love with your daughter's uncle.

And you're married to someone else entirely, is that right?

2/2

[mousquetaire]

Wait, what do you mean half werewolf?

[increscents]

Yes to all of the above.

As in half-werewolf, half-vampire. Did I totally skip that part?

[mousquetaire]

[ How do you just skip that part? ]

So that means.

What does that mean? You kill people, you drink their blood?

[ That's the myth, isn't it? She seems like she's all of the myths at once. ]

[increscents]

I don't have to kill. [ She's killed. ]

But yes. I need drink blood to survive.

[mousquetaire]

I didn't know.

[ It shades her in a new light. He doesn't know what to think. Hayley was a werewolf, but she was also strikingly normal. ]

How do you get blood? Hayley, please tell me that you don't hurt anyone.

[increscents]

I don't think I have an answer that can make you happy.

Sometimes I don't. Sometimes I just use blood bags. Sometimes I bite people and make them forget.

Sometimes I'm not so good.

[mousquetaire]

You make them forget?

[increscents]

Yeah, it's called compulsion.

Shit. I shouldn't have told you.

[mousquetaire]

Yes you sh

I didn't

Why?

It's the truth, isn't it? I'd rather hear it from you than someone else.

[increscents]

You're clearly not okay with the vampire thing.

[mousquetaire]

That's not fair. I don't know anything about it.

What will you do now, make me forget I ever knew?

[increscents]

I'm not Klaus. I'm not a monster.
