I missed you too. I'm glad you're better.

[Because it's nice not having an magically unstable girlfriend.]

[easily]

Me too. I much prefer not feeling like I want to rip everyone's throats out.

[alias_savant]

[He nods with a small smile.]

And I prefer you not ripping my throat out. Or anyone else's for that matter.

[easily]

Well, there may have to be some throats ripped out before this is all over, but I will try to keep it at a minimum.

[alias_savant]

True, but only if it's your choice, and not at the whim of some kind of murderous curse.

[easily]

Yes, I do rather enjoy being able to choose for myself.

[alias_savant]

Good.

[He smiles as he turns to face her.]

Though now that we have some time to ourselves again, what would you like to do with it?

[easily]

You could show me some of my niece's artwork, to start with. Nik is going to have a fit you taught her.

[alias_savant]

Well, I can't help it that she happened to take an avid interest. At least someone was teaching her?

[He smirks as he holds out his arm to her so they can head up to what has basically become the art cave.]

[easily]

It's true, and Nik will overcompensate when he gets the chance to prove he's the better teacher.

[she takes his arm, allowing him to lead the way.]

[alias_savant]

[And he'll make his way around the corner and up the stairs to the art room.]

Well, Hope deserves a little overcompensation. I don't think she'll complain.

[he swallows a bit as they reach the door.]

At least she'll have better things to look forward to than I did.

[easily]

[Rebekah gives his hand a small squeeze]

She'll have better things than we all did, that's the point.

[alias_savant]

[He nods and squeezes her hand in return, before turning and pointing to one of the other pieces on the wall, a very simple watercolor of the garden, but it's still rather good]

The garden is her favorite muse.

[easily]

[It may be simplistic, but it shows talent, and Rebekah can't help but smile looking at it.]

I can't blame her, there's a lot to be inspired by.

[alias_savant]

There is.

[He moves closer to her, sliding his arms around her waist to pull her back against him.]

A lot of great artists spent all their time painting gardens.

[easily]

It's true. Look at Monet's work in his private gardens in Giverny.

[alias_savant]

Exactly.

[He smiles a bit.]

She's getting the perfect start, in my opinion.

[easily]

I agree. I'm glad you were here to teach her. And I'm sure Hayley appreciated not having to do all this on her own.

[alias_savant]

Of course.

[He pulls Rebekah in closer.]

I kind of missed her, actually, so it was nice to have the chance to spend time with her again.

[easily]

She's good company, I hope when this is done we won't have to scatter so quickly

[alias_savant]

Me too. You deserve to get some quality family time in.

[Even if he knows she'll want to stretch her legs eventually, family is family. You circle back around to them eventually.]

[easily]

I didn't even get to see Kol when Davina brought him back [she saw him in Freya's inbetween world but it's not the same, of course]

[alias_savant]

You were cursed. That wasn't your fault.

[And honestly, she probably wouldn't have wanted to see him as she was then either.]

You'll see him soon.

[easily]

Right. Hayley said she almost had the curse for Marcel's venom.

[alias_savant]

[He nods.]

I've been working on your sister - less likely for me to get bitten that way.
