[ 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. ]

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. ]
