[ It's there, the impulse to immediately do the complete opposite of what Elijah demands. An old friend, that feeling, and one that instantly has his head pounding. ]
I see you're assuming the worst of me - I'd almost forgotten what that was like. [ Just a tiny hint of sarcasm there. He was on much better terms with Elijah recently in New Orleans, but it's still a very new thing. Recent developments since arriving have made things much more complicated. ] Am I to be locked up in my room, then? Clearly, the monster isn't safe among the good people here.
[ Sarcasm has blossomed into straight up bitterness. ]
I am aware of how your temper gets the better of you when dealing with hunters.
[ His brother can be biter all he likes. Elijah hasn't really seen a difference in his brother. His immediate response is to yell and scream in the woods upon his arrival. He compels the one woman in this building Elijah has a connection to. Doesn't hesitate to rub things in his face plus the lack of information he gave Elijah didn't tell him that he had changed. All signs pointed to the same ill-mannered brat with a taste for blood and chaos. ]
If you want me to see the best in you then show me, brother. Don't touch him.
[ Though Elijah can't see him, Klaus still rolls his eyes. The same song and dance, one he thought was over but now he finds himself playing repeat.
He does his best to keep in mind that Elijah's most recent memories aren't the most flattering for him - and yes, perhaps his actions since arriving haven't done much to prove any change. Rebekah and Hayley and even Caroline have stressed this point to him, and while it's in his nature to rebel against such scolding, he doesn't enjoy having his brother angry at him. Never has. ]
I won't do anything to the hunter. [ There's a pause here before he says: ] They can't know about the White Oak Stake, Elijah.
[ He's done a little investigating - turns out those vendors have the ability to bring such things into this world, for a price. The stake is not only dangerous to him, but to them all.]
[ They're honest words. Niklaus never dealt well with others mocking him or provoking him into altercations. He always seemed to find his way into violence or just flat out murder. He appreciated that his brother was willing to show some restraint with Dean Winchester. He didn't relish the idea of leaving Joanna upset at the loss of her friend. ]
It's my understanding it could be acquired through the vendors.
[ Which has his tone growing thoughtful - Klaus himself hasn't been down there to fully investigate these claims, and there is a part of him that desperately wants the stake in his possession, if only to keep it out of other's hands.
He couldn't say what kind of price he would have to pay for it. ]
Have you been down to see them since your arrival? I've heard they are a bit off.

[ Dean was a hunter and he would start a war if Niklaus decided that ripping his heart out suited his wishes more. ]
I don't care what sort of silly infantile games you wish to play with him. [ His voice gets stronger. ] No harm shall come to him.
[ Joanna wouldn't want it that way no matter how Dean acted. ]
Do you understand me, Niklaus?
gosh always ruining his fun :c
